How to Make Anti-Cellulite Massage Oil
Anti-cellulite massage oil is a highly effective natural homemade remedy for areas of the skin that commonly form cellulite, such as the back of the thighs, under the arms and on the calves. Homemade anti-cellulite massage oil costs much less than commercially available anti-cellulite body creams, which often contain potentially harmful chemicals that stabilize the products during shipping and shelving. This recipe makes enough massage cream for about 20 applications, although it can be easily doubled. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Apply with clean hands the anti-cellulite massage oil to problem areas of the skin. Allow the skin to absorb any excess moisture that remains after several minutes of rubbing the area.
Avoid storing any type of skin or body care products in aluminum containers, as there is concern about heavy metals entering the body through the skin.
