Those of you that have read some of my other articles know by now that I like to save money, but also like to see results. In this article I’d like to show you how to make your own inexpensive cellulite treatment cream that really works!
Sure-there are quite a few cellulite treatment creams on the market already that help reduce the appearance of cellulite. The problem is that many of these products are quite costly, and often don’t work as well as promised.
By making your own cellulite body cream you will not only save lots of money, but will experience results as good as or better than the brand name products!
But do Cellulite Creams Work?
In order to answer this question it’s important that you first understand what causes cellulite. Simply put, it comes down to a combination of poor circulation and a build up of toxins, fat and other waste products that get trapped in pockets below the skin (learn more about cellulite in my article “How to Lose Cellulite“).
Unfortunately diet and exercise alone will not reduce the appearance of cellulite. In order to effectively eliminate the appearance of cellulite, the following for things must be accomplished:
- Improve skin elasticity
- Increase circulation and boost metabolism
- Decrease fluid and wast retention
- improve & stimulate the elimination function
So… do cellulite creams work?
I’ve had great success with my cellulite body creams. Simply put, if they can perform all four of the functions above, they will be effective.
The cellulite treatment cream recipe I am about to share with you works very well because the combination of essential oils makes it extremely powerful for cellulite reduction.
Here are the oils that work extremely well for cellulite reduction:
- Juniper Berry – Decreases excessive fluids in the body
- Grapefruit – Helps remove toxins and detoxify the body
- Rosemary – Tones the skin and improves it’s appearance
- Cypress – Improves circulation and improves the skin
- Germanium – Boosts the body’s circulation
My Cellulite Treatment Cream Recipe
8 oz. Uncented lotion
3 TBSP Witch Hazel Lotion
10 drops Juniper Oil
10 drops Rosemary
30 drops Cypress oil
30 drops Grapefruit oil.
Directions: Add all of the essential oils together with the witch hazel lotion and mix together. When completed, add uncented lotion and shake well.
Application: Apply daily to the area you want to treat. Use a circular motion and massage gently into the skin. The best time to apply the cellulite treatment cream is in the morning after a shower, and at night before bedtime.
Well, there you hav eit. I hope that you try this cellulite treatment cream and it works well for you. I know it has worked well for me!
I also recommend cellulite body wrap kits. They are another fabulous way to get rid of cellulite, and in combination with the cellulite treatment cream they work magically.

Hi, I wonder if you really mean “Germanium Oil” as is stated on this cellulite treatment page- “Germanium – Boosts the body’s circulation”
or do you mean Geranium? When it comes to essential oils I did not know that the trace mineral Germanium was available as an oil and I know that Geranium, ‘Pelargonium graveolens’ is, and would like clarification so I get and use the correct product. Thanks for any and all help. Karen
I made a cellulite cream that woorks soooo good and so cheap.
1)You take a bottle of lotion (not to thick, and not watery) or take an empty container and put whatever lotion you want in it (I use cheap coco butter, about 6 bucks for the big bottles.) Can NOT be full to the top.
2) Go to the store and buy caffine pills, can get a bottle for like 3 bucks. I use jet-alert.
3) Crush them up (about 6 per every 7 oz. of lotion or so) until it is a smooth powder…. NO LARGE CHUNKS. I went out to the store and got the ceramic hand grinders, they are usually pretty cheap. If you have a hard time get it off the internet or go to a cooking store.
4) Then buy a bottle of Acetyl L Carnitine pills. Got mine, (AmerMed) off ebay for a few bucks.
5) Open up about 5 of the capsules (per 7 oz. of lotion), dump the contents into the lotion.
6) Add the now powder caffine to the lotion, put on the lid and shake for 2/3 minutes.
-Apply like you would regular lotion and after a few days you will see results.
-These two ingredients are what are used in many cellulite brand creams, but these creams are usually expensive and the bottles only last 3 weeks.
-You should be able to make about 16 seven oz. bottles of lotion with these pills. This costs you about $10-15 and then you choose the lotion. All together if you choose to use less expensive lotion its about $1 per 7 oz. and it works!
Oh and one more thing.
Shake before you open the lotion and put it on.
You might notice that water forms on the top and the lotion on the bottom becomes really thick. That is because the water is being pulled out of the lotion. This is exactly what it does when you put it on your skin. By pulling out the excess water your cellulite becomes less noticable and your skin tightens.
Like most brand name cellulite creams, the results are not permanent. Although the excess water may also pull out toxins, this is seen as a temporary solution, which is why you must put it on daily. Thats why its great its so cheap! The more permanent solutions to cellulite cost hundreds of dollars. I personally dont mind putting on lotion everyday. Its good for your skin and helps fight aging.
