Grapefruit Cellulite Cream
June 19, 2014
Cellulite Creams can be expensive and full of chemicals! Instead, try this grapefruit cellulite cream recipe! Coconut oil will help hydrate the skin while grapefruit essential oil contains large amounts of the anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain, which helps break down cellulite.
Try this DIY coffee scrub in the shower first, and then apply this homemade cellulite cream
Note: Citrus essentials oils are highly concentrated and are full of healthy acidic properties. Because of this, we recommend you use glass containers when storing them so they do not eat away any of the plastic.
