Will orange oil help with cellulite?

First of all, what is cellulite?

Cellulite is an unfortunately familiar condition to many women on the skin of the thighs, buttocks, sometimes arms, abdomen and shoulders, when the skin becomes uneven, which is why cellulite is called the “orange peel effect” or simply “orange peel”. From the point of view of medical science, cellulite is structural changes in the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin, leading to disruption of microcirculation and lymphatic outflow in it.

This “orange peel” on the skin occurs not only in women with increased body weight; this problem is also familiar to those who have normal or even reduced weight. And such a skin picture can be extremely upsetting. Nowadays, you can find a huge number of recommendations for getting rid of cellulite, outlined on the Internet, various brochures and articles. But, as practice shows, there are many conflicting reviews about each of the methods of getting rid of this problem.

Use it correctly

Important: to avoid getting burned, orange oil should not be applied in its pure form .

Either an oil base or other components are required. Ether is added to the composition a few drops at a time.

Citrus fruits are strong allergens . Before use, any composition should be tested on a small area of skin for the presence of an allergic reaction.

Immediately after applying the product there is no need to sunbathe , as you may get burned.

Use only a high-quality product that has not expired.

How to choose massage oil

In order not to provoke an allergy and really get the expected effect from the massage product, it is advisable to check it on four points.

Compound. The oil should be free of fragrances, phthalates, mineral oils and other components that are harmful to the skin. It’s great if the product contains vitamins A, E, C, D and microelements such as iron and copper.
Purpose. Depending on the type of massage (cupping, classic manual, lymphatic drainage), you can choose oil with different effects. For example, warming, cooling or calming.
Manufacturer. Always read reviews, choose stores you trust and don’t test anything that seems suspicious.
Texture and density. You can choose a denser oil (like jojoba) or a lighter oil (like citrus fruits), the main thing is that it is well absorbed and does not spread over the skin.

Fragrant baths

Healing baths with orange oil for cellulite relax, soothe, at the same time smooth out problem areas, and accelerate metabolic processes in tissues.

The rules for taking baths are as follows:

The water should be warm, but not hot. The optimal temperature is about 36–37 degrees.
The fluid level should reach the chest, but not cover it.
It is better to carry out the procedure before bedtime.
Session time is 15–20 minutes, but no more than half an hour.
The dosage of orange ether or a mixture of essential oils is 25 drops per filled bath.
The procedure is contraindicated at elevated body temperature, heart disease, or when blood pressure deviates from the normal range.
In addition to essential oils, you can add to the water: sea salt, herbal decoctions, honey, milk, clay.

The procedure is carried out in a sitting position; water should not cover the chest.
Here are the options for formulations designed for one procedure:

One liter of milk, 10 drops of orange oil, 2 tablespoons of honey.
300 g of coarse sea salt, 2 tablespoons of dry mustard powder, 8 drops of orange ether.
200 g of soda, 100 g of salt, 5 drops of orange essential oils.

Oil massage

A mandatory attribute of any massage session is oils. They facilitate sliding, nourish the skin, soften it, and make it more pliable.

Try adding a few drops of essential oil to the base oil. Orange essential oil is perfect for these purposes.

The recipe is simple: for one tablespoon of base – 5-6 drops of ether. The following oils are suitable as a base: olive, apricot, wheat germ, coconut.

The procedure can be carried out independently. This can be a massage with vacuum cans, or with the help of special rollers, or you can do it yourself.

Having generously lubricated the problem areas with a mixture of oils, the massage should begin from the bottom up. Movements can be circular, rubbing, patting, pinching.

Honey massage is considered effective and easy to perform . To do this, mix 100 g of honey with 10 drops of orange ether. Apply the mixture liberally to the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Then make patting movements on problem areas.

Thanks to honey, the palms will hardly come off the body, which has a mechanical effect on the deep layers of the skin, breaks down fat cells, accelerates blood flow, and has a lymphatic drainage effect.

Homemade wraps with orange oil

Wraps not only help get rid of cellulite, but also perfectly reduce volume by removing excess fluid.

For noticeable results, you should complete a course of 10 procedures, doing them every two to three days.

The sequence of the procedure is as follows:

It is recommended to first warm up the skin with a scrub or dry massage with a brush with natural bristles.
Apply a thick layer of the composition to problem areas.
Wrap in cling film.
Wear warm clothes over the film. Additionally, you can wrap yourself in a blanket.
On average, you should keep the composition for about an hour and a half. But if the skin gets very hot, you need to remove the mass earlier to prevent burns.
Rinse off the product thoroughly. To enhance the effect, take a contrast shower and moisturize your skin with cream.

Anti-cellulite cosmetics Epsom

We would like to introduce you to the Anti-cellu massage oil massage oil from our new anti-cellulite line. It combines anti-cellulite and skin care properties and, thanks to the contrasting alternation of heating and cooling processes, has an amazing effect:

reduces cellulite and stretch marks;
removes toxins and stagnant liquid;
models the figure;
tones and deeply nourishes the skin.

The oil contains exclusively natural ingredients that do not cause allergies and are suitable for regular use. Briefly about the ingredients:

Sweet almond oil normalizes the water balance in the body, smoothes the skin, perfectly fights stretch marks and small scars, and improves the ability to regenerate.
Jojoba oil nourishes and protects the skin, and is an effective natural remedy for the prevention and elimination of stretch marks, cellulite, and scars.
Wheat germ and rice bran oil effectively moisturizes and softens the skin, saturates it with essential amino acids, increases skin firmness and elasticity, and protects against the negative effects of UV rays.
Orange essential oil promotes rejuvenation of the entire body: improves mood, increases tone, has a lymphatic drainage effect, lightens age spots and evens out skin tone.
Essential oils of lemon and lime gently whiten and make freckles and vascular patterns less noticeable, have antiviral and immunomodulatory properties, relieve fatigue and envelop the skin with a light and fresh citrus aroma.

It can also be used after a shower for prevention and moisturizing.

The contrasting combination of “hot and cold” leaves no chance for imperfections. Hot treatment reduces fat cells and smoothes the skin, while cold treatment destroys fat and removes excess volume. A pleasant bonus is the aromatherapy effect of the composition of essential oils. The oil is suitable for daily use and works better in combination with other products from the anti-cellulite line, such as a hot or cold scrub.

Speaking about anti-cellulite cosmetics, we cannot remain silent about additional products that will enhance and consolidate the effect. All of them are 100% natural components, they combine perfectly with each other, and we have them in stock.

Hot and cold wraps either warm or refresh the skin. Such opposite actions give a similar effect: they remove fluid, break down fatty deposits, and strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
Body corrector gel models the figure, reduces swelling and destroys the fat layer.

Citrus scrubs

Body scrubs contain solid particles of different sizes. This can be: sugar, coarse salt, ground coffee, crushed plant seeds and nuts.

The benefit of the scrub is its exfoliating and warming effect, which helps reduce unevenness and stretch marks in problem areas of the body.

Apply the scrub while taking water procedures, using circular rubbing movements starting from the bottom, gradually moving up.

If there are wounds, pimples, or irritations on the skin, then the scrub should be discarded.

Orange oil in the product works well: it enhances the effects of other components, has a warming effect, helps smooth out unevenness, and restores elasticity.

Walnut scrub

Ingredients:

5 tablespoons of white clay;
3 tablespoons honey;
3 tablespoons olive oil;
6 drops of orange ether;
50 g almonds.

Grind the nuts in a coffee grinder. Melt honey in a water bath. Add oil. Dissolve the clay in a warm mixture of oils and honey, add nuts and salt. The consistency should be like thick sour cream.

Massage the resulting cream onto your thighs, buttocks, and stomach. The finished mixture can be stored in a tightly closed jar for up to 10 days.

Nut particles exfoliate the skin. Honey removes toxins and excess fluid. Clay levels out the terrain. Orange essential oil has an anti-cellulite effect.

Solid soap-scrub

Ingredients:

200 g neutral soap base;
10 drops of orange oil;
5 drops of lemon oil;
1 tbsp. l. coconut oil;
1 tbsp. l. ground coffee beans.

Ready-made soap base can be purchased in cosmetic departments or in craft stores. An alternative is a bar of unscented baby soap.

Melt the base in a water bath, first crushing it. When it becomes liquid, add all the ingredients from the recipe. Stir until smooth.

Pour the mixture into molds. To avoid buying special ones, you can use silicone baking molds. Leave for 8 hours until completely hardened. Remove from the mold, after which the soap is ready for use. From the given quantity, two medium-sized sticks are obtained.

You should rub soap on problem areas of your body while showering. The essential oils in the composition have a warming effect. Coconut oil softens and moisturizes. Ground coffee exfoliates the dead layer of skin, allowing beneficial substances to penetrate deeper into the cells.

Choosing quality essential oil

When purchasing essential oil, be it orange or any other, pay attention to the following:

Package. Only glass and only darkened, there should be no other. The glass bottle does not react with the active components of the contents, and the tinting protects against exposure to ultraviolet radiation and spoilage.
Price. Quality has its price. In pursuit of financial gain, you should not save on your own beauty, or even health, and buy the cheapest essential oil in the area. There is a risk of getting a diluted product.
Test. You can check the authenticity by dropping citrus oil onto a clean white napkin. The natural ether will evaporate in a couple of seconds, leaving no trace. If the manufacturer diluted orange essential oil with regular vegetable oil, a yellow stain and a greasy residue will remain on the napkin. A colorless stain of fat indicates a liquid obtained in a chemical laboratory that has nothing in common with orange fruits.

Making orange oil at home

To be precise, this is not exactly an essential oil, but a so-called infusion solution. But for home treatment of cellulite it is perfect.

Everything is extremely simple. Wash 2 large oranges, peel them and chop them. Place in a dark glass bottle and pour in olive oil, covering the zest completely. Place the container in a secluded corner, away from sunlight and heat sources. After 5 days, remove the bottle and heat it in a water bath. Let cool and strain the mixture through cheesecloth. Store the finished aroma oil closed at room temperature.

Homemade cellulite cream

The task of creams is to deeply moisturize the skin and penetrate active substances into its inner layers.

It is better to apply the cream at night. Before this, it is effective to scrub your body and take a contrast shower.

You can add a few drops of orange oil to a store-bought product, or you can prepare this cream yourself.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. l. glycerin;
2 tbsp. l. olive oil;
1 tsp. cinnamon;
3 drops of orange ether;
3 drops of juniper ether.

It is better to store the finished cream in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator for no more than ten days.

Glycerin and olive oil are a moisturizing base. Cinnamon in combination with essential oils warms the skin, improves blood circulation, and has an anti-cellulite effect.

How to make ether yourself

You can make orange essential oil yourself at home. Such a product will be 100% natural without artificial colors or preservatives. To prepare orange extract, 2 kilograms of medium oranges are peeled, then thoroughly washed and doused with boiling water to eliminate the pesticides used to preserve the fruit.

Grind the orange peels with a blender until oily inclusions appear and transfer to a glass jar. The resulting mass is combined with olive or linseed oil and left in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days.

The resulting mixture is heated in a steam bath, filtered through a bandage or gauze and poured into glass jars for storage. It is recommended to keep the resulting product in the refrigerator.

Enrichment of ready-made funds

On store shelves there is a wide selection of ready-made products that promise to help in the fight against cellulite. Using orange oil can really make the product even more effective.

Ether is added to scrubs, creams, lotions, milk, shower gels, and body wrap compositions. For 50 g of product, no more than 6–8 drops of oil.

Important: the formulations should be mixed before use. It is not recommended to store the product enriched with ether for a long time.

You can also add orange oil to neutral products, such as baby cream. Thus, the product will acquire new properties.

Orange oil will enhance the anti-cellulite effect, help break down fat cells, give the skin elasticity, normalize metabolic processes, and give a pleasant aroma.

Carrying out the procedure

The drug is administered to the problem area by injection. Depending on the scope of the correction, the doctor selects the required amount of the drug and carries out the procedure. The process is quite comfortable for patients and does not require pain relief.

For a pronounced effect, a course of at least 4-5 procedures is required with an interval of 1-2 weeks.

The cosmetology market increasingly pleases us with new products, but the most important thing in the fight against any imperfections is a reliable travel companion. All procedures in our clinic are performed by dermatologists and cosmetologists who take into account your indications, contraindications and the feasibility of performing the procedure.

We invite you to a free consultation, which will be the first step towards an ideal reflection in the mirror.

ARGUMENTS FOR

Low-traumatic method

Cellulite is a purely aesthetic problem. And it is usually decided by cosmetologists and estheticians. A plastic surgeon can offer a woman to get rid of the “orange peel” only with the help of liposuction - but even a thin woman can have cellulite, and it has nothing to do with local fat deposits or obesity. In this context, changes in subcutaneous fat are not a disease. From a physiological point of view, there is nothing wrong with cellulite.

Lots of options

Cellulite and the female cycle

Diet against cellulite

Many experts note: manual anti-cellulite massage (AM) is often much more effective than hardware massage. Not a single attachment, even a super-ergonomic one, is able to replicate and feel all the curves of the human body the way a massage therapist does. A high-quality manual massage is always a combination of a huge number of techniques and movements: kneading, rubbing, tapping, special hammering, grabbing and crushing skin folds, vibrating. But in some cases, without the proper force of influence, which only the device with its attachments is capable of, cellulite cannot be dealt with.

Personal contact with a person is also important, doctors say. It is necessary to establish a good trusting relationship with the patient so that in the future he does not feel embarrassed or inhibited. After all, muscle tightness only interferes with the correct implementation of AM.

A complex approach

Anti-cellulite massage has a powerful complex healing effect. It will help to cope not only with unevenness in the riding breeches and “dimples” on the buttocks. AM improves metabolism and restores tissue nutrition. Mechanical impact on the skin stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers, which makes it smooth. The figure after the massage also looks more toned. In addition, during massage, neuropeptides enter the bloodstream, which significantly reduce fatigue, improve psycho-emotional state, and help fight insomnia, stress and bad mood.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST

Need a course

It is not possible to smooth out the appearance of cellulite in 1–2 procedures. A course of 10–15 sessions will be required, and then also preventive visits to a massage therapist once every 2–4 weeks. You will have to constantly maintain the results obtained: experts recommend conducting an AM course at least 2-3 times a year.

Special circumstances

Overweight people (weight over 90-100 kg), as well as with the 3rd stage of cellulite (when unevenness is clearly visible on the legs and buttocks), before the main course of AM, it is necessary to undergo a course of lymphatic drainage procedures. And some will also need defibrosating therapy (ultrasound, carboxytherapy), aimed at softening the connective fibers of the skin. These methods help remove excess fluid, after which it will be much easier for the master to assess the scale of the disaster and develop a further combat strategy.

Doesn't work at home

No anti-cellulite massager for home use can replace a professional manual or hardware AM. In addition, fighting cellulite on your own without the appropriate experience and skills often leads to injury.

Take, for example, the popular silicone jars today. Many women, having read reviews on the Internet, rushed to purchase them with enthusiasm. But it is quite difficult to control the strength of the vacuum created by a seemingly harmless silicone product. As a result, extensive hematomas may appear after the first use.

If you decide to try one of the anti-cellulite gadgets, strictly follow the instructions. Do not under any circumstances increase the allowed massage time. Stop immediately as soon as you feel the slightest discomfort, much less pain. Don't be patient!

Indications

Contraindications

After the massage:

Small hematomas and redness of the skin are possible. To avoid this, lightly apply an ointment containing arnica or other soothing herbal ingredients;
immediately after the procedure, drink a glass of clean still water in small sips and lie down for half an hour;
Dry massage with a stiff brush or sisal washcloth will help enhance the effect. Do it regularly in the morning before taking a bath or shower. Then apply anti-cellulite gel or lotion to problem areas.

When not to

On the same day when injection (mesotherapy of thighs and buttocks) and laser procedures (hair removal, rejuvenation, resurfacing, removal of tattoos, scars, stretch marks) or Thermage were performed.

Conclusions "Health"

To achieve a lasting result (even and smooth skin), you will need a course of procedures, at least 10–15 sessions . The technique is always individual, and only a specialist can choose it correctly: a professional massage therapist or an esthetician.
Very obese people, before the main course of anti-cellulite massage, need to undergo several additional sessions of defibrosing and lymphatic drainage therapy to prepare the skin and remove excess fluid.
You should not perform anti-cellulite massage yourself at home. Without the skill and knowledge to use medical devices, you can injure yourself.

There are several manual massage techniques that can remove cellulite and correct figure imperfections. The most common types of massage include: anti-cellulite, lymphatic drainage, honey and sculpture. Read more about the technique of lymphatic drainage massage in our article “Lymphatic drainage massage”. Each massage has its own special technique. But everyone has the same goal - to improve the functioning of the lymphatic system and blood circulation, strengthen blood vessels, improve metabolic processes, remove excess fluid from the body, reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat and break up cellulite tubercles.

Advantages of manual massage

How is manual massage performed?

Each manual massage technique has individual characteristics, but they have one thing in common - a sequence of actions. To begin with, the specialist carries out drainage, then the striated muscles are worked on, the last stage is work on the subcutaneous fat. Thanks to consistent actions and different massage intensities, the “orange peel” is significantly reduced.

Disadvantages of manual massage

As in manual massage, there are several types in hardware massage: vacuum-roller, LPG, lymphatic drainage, anti-cellulite, etc. For each massage, a special device, attachments and even a suit are used. Modern clinics, massage rooms and beauty salons have great opportunities for hardware massage. Therefore, finding an acceptable procedure will not be difficult.

Advantages of hardware massage

How is hardware massage performed?

No special preparation is required for hardware massage, but a necessary condition is consultation with a specialist. Since this type of massage has a number of contraindications. After the examination, the specialist selects the type of hardware massage that will be most effective. Hardware massage is performed with smooth movements and is so relaxing that patients fall asleep during the session.

Possible side effects

Like any other ether, orange oil should be used with great care, strictly following the recipe.

Orange essential oil is an allergen and can cause irritation, itching, and swelling. Before use, be sure to do an allergic reaction test. To do this, apply a mixture of orange and olive oil to the crook of your elbow. If after an hour no red spots, blisters or other side effects appear on the skin, then you can use products with the addition of orange ether.

If you do not follow the dosage or apply a diluted base, the product can cause skin burns.

Reviews on the use of orange oil for cellulite

“I love using natural ingredients in my personal care, but I don’t always have enough time to prepare them. I found a way out - I add essential oils to ready-made store products. Orange oil is my favorite in body care. I drip it into my daily lotion, shower gel, and sometimes add it to my bath. In addition to smooth skin, I also enjoy the fresh aroma during bath procedures.”
“Recently, due to health reasons, I have not been able to play sports. As a result, cellulite began to appear on the thighs and buttocks. It’s impossible to resume training yet, so I decided to get rid of unevenness with proper nutrition and a daily scrub. I add orange oil to a handful of ground coffee. I massage my thighs with this mass for so long until my hands get tired. The method did not disappoint. The skin returned to its original state, became smooth, and the unpleasant bumps disappeared.”
“After losing a lot of weight, my skin sagged and cellulite became very noticeable. Various forums advised making wraps using cling film. There are a lot of recipes, but I liked the blue clay wrap with the addition of orange essential oil the most. The skin tightens very well. And most importantly, the products are very inexpensive and are sold in any pharmacy. I’ve already had 8 procedures, but the results are significant.”

Selection rules

You can purchase the product at a pharmacy or online store. Despite the affordable price, the buyer runs the risk of receiving a fake. To avoid this, you should adhere to the following rules:

The essential product should not be too cheap,
Orange essential oil is bottled in darkened glass bottles, since the sun's rays destroy the beneficial properties of the oil.
The bottle cap must be sealed. This is how manufacturers protect their product from misuse of the product or its substitution,
Essential oil is a dark yellow or orange liquid. When applied to a napkin, the oil leaves a yellow stain that disappears within 1-2 hours. This is explained by the volatility of ether. If the stain on the napkin is very greasy, has no color or does not disappear for a long time, it is a fake product.
