Cellulite - structural changes in the subcutaneous fat layer, as a result of which the skin becomes uneven, all kinds of depressions and bumps appear, the so-called "orange peel effect" appears. You can tone the skin and smooth it out with the help of a special anti-cellulite soap, which is not difficult to prepare yourself.
Coffee soap
To make it you will need:
- baby soap - 2 bars;
- half a glass of hot water;
- olive oil - 4 tablespoons;
- coffee grounds - 4 tablespoons;
- coarse sea salt - 3 tablespoons.
Grate baby soap on a coarse grater and melt in a water bath. Then add half a glass of hot water and mix thoroughly. Add olive oil, coffee grounds and simmer still for about 5 minutes and remove from heat.
Add sea salt last when the mixture is warm, as this ingredient can dissolve if you add it to the hot mixture. Pour the mass into molds and leave for several hours, then remove the soap and put in a dry place.
Use soap to rub problem areas. After just a few procedures, the skin will become smooth and elastic.
Loofah soap
Take the following ingredients:
- transparent or matte soap base - 200 g;
- black pepper oil - 1 tablespoon
- loofah;
- essential oils of tea tree and rosemary.
Loofah soap perfectly massages the skin, while tea tree, rosemary and black pepper oils will tone it up.
Soak the loofah in water. Cut the soap base into pieces and place in a water bath until completely dissolved. Add black pepper oil to the liquid mass, add a few drops of essential oils and stir the mass. Use food coloring to give the soap the desired color.
Pour some of the soap mass into the mold. Squeeze the loofah and place it on the soap, then pour the rest of the mixture. Let the soap harden, remove from the mold and leave for a few more days in a dry place. At this time, turn the soap periodically so that it dries evenly.
