Ingredients:
- IAMA Castor Oil (15 drops)
- IAMA Coffee Castor Scrub
- Natural Bristle Dry Brush
- 5 drops Ginger Essential Oil / Grapefruit Essential Oil (we recommend Doterra)
Directions:
-
Start with dry, unshowered skin. Use your natural bristle dry brush to gently brush your skin in long, upward strokes towards your heart.
-
Focus on areas prone to cellulite, such as thighs, buttocks, and hips. Apply light to medium pressure, being careful not to irritate the skin.
-
After dry brushing, apply a small amount of castor oil (about 1-2 tablespoons) and massage it into the skin using circular motions.
-
Next, apply the IAMA Coffee Castor Scrub to the areas with cellulite. Massage the scrub in circular motions for 3-5 minutes.
-
Hop in the shower and rinse off the scrub and any excess oil. Pat your skin dry.
-
Finally, mix 5 drops of Ginger or Grapefruit Essential Oil with a small amount of castor oil and apply to the treated areas.
How often?
Repeat this dry brushing and castor oil routine 2-3 times per week for at least 4 weeks for smoother, cellulite free skin. Adjust the pressure and frequency as needed based on your skin's sensitivity.
For the geek in you:
The combination of dry brushing, castor oil, and coffee scrub works synergistically to combat cellulite:
-
Dry brushing stimulates lymphatic drainage and increases blood circulation.
-
Castor oil deeply penetrates the skin to nourish and hydrate.
-
Coffee scrub is particularly effective in reducing cellulite due to several factors:
- The caffeine in coffee is a natural diuretic that helps remove excess water from fat cells, temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite.
- Coffee's antioxidants help improve overall skin texture and elasticity.
- The scrubbing action of coffee grounds exfoliates dead skin cells and stimulates blood flow, which can help break down fat deposits.
- Coffee may also help tighten the skin, giving a smoother appearance.
- Ginger or Grapefruit Essential Oil acts as a natural vasodilator, improving circulation and helping to flush out toxins.
