Castor Oil Cellulite Treatment

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:

1. Start with dry, unshowered skin. Use your natural bristle dry brush to gently brush your skin in long, upward strokes towards your heart.

2. Focus on areas prone to cellulite, such as thighs, buttocks, and hips. Apply light to medium pressure, being careful not to irritate the skin.

3. After dry brushing, apply a small amount of castor oil (about 1-2 tablespoons) and massage it into the skin using circular motions.

4. Next, apply the IAMA Coffee Castor Scrub to the areas with cellulite. Massage the scrub in circular motions for 3-5 minutes.

5. Hop in the shower and rinse off the scrub and any excess oil. Pat your skin dry.

6. 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:

1. Dry brushing stimulates lymphatic drainage and increases blood circulation.

2. Castor oil deeply penetrates the skin to nourish and hydrate.

3. 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.
