How to Use Rosemary Oil in the Treatment of Cellulite

No need to clean the whole body, try to focus on targeted areas of cellulite.

- After cleaning, exfoliate the skin. This process helps increasing blood flow into the area, which opens pores and and helps the skin layers to be ready to absorb the incoming oil. This is quite important to boost its penetration and effectiveness.

- Now apply the rosemary oil. It's important to know that pure rosemary oil may irritate the skin, that is why it should be diluted with carrier oils - like olive oil or jojoba oil - in order to be smoother and more gentle on the skin.
For topical applications for cellulite massage, it's generally recommended to dilute the rosemary oil using the range of 1.5-3% (3-6 drops of pure rosemary oil added to a tea spoon of the carrier oil).
This percentage varies in case of other applications of rosemary oil.

- After that, take a small amount of rosemary oil between the palms of your hands to warm the oil then apply a circle massage to the area with a slight pressure. Continue the massage for 5-10 minutes to ensure effective absorption of the oil.
As with any treatment, you should be consistent! Repeat daily, or 3 times a week till you get the desired results..
