Tips to reduce cellulite and live healthier
Is it just me, or is your newsfeed saturated with essentials oils at the moment? It seems half of the bloggers I follow promote DoTerra or another brand of essential oils, which makes me believe that they’re really gaining in popularity. Although essential oils have been used in natural medicine for gazillions of years* (*not actual statistic), it seems that they are becoming more popular than ever before. Which is truly a marvellous thing. As our lives seem to have become more and more saturated with toxic elements, it’s wonderful that we can use these oils as natural alternatives to their more toxic counterparts.
I have by no means the largest collection of oils, but there are a few staples I couldn’t live without. Eucalyptus for laundry & cleaning, tea tree for spots, grazes & shampoo (to keep nits away), peppermint for headaches and making the house smell fresh, ‘Breathe Easy’ blend for stuffy noses etc. etc.
And then there are the oils I use on my body. In my lush body lotion I blend coconut oil with shea butter and a blend of oils I specially selected for their circulation boosting and detoxing qualities. For example, there’s grapefruit, rosemary, cyprus and fennel sweet oils which are known to increase blood & lymphatic circulation to help flush toxins from the skin and relieve fluid retention. Then cinnamon-bark oil, juniper and witch hazel which helps to refine and tighten your skin, leaving it looking refreshed and toned. And the best thing about this wonderful pot of goodness? It’s the smell! It’s simply divine and seems to suit all skin types as everyone that tries it keeps coming back for more.
If you think your body needs a little hydration and TLC, then let me know if you’d like me to put a jar aside for you!
