They say cellulite is only natural, just like our award-winning cellulite oil then....

If you are hoping to get those tricky areas looking their best before you hit the beach, you’ll be delighted to discover Weleda’s organic Birch Cellulite Oil (rrp £18.95 100ml) which - following on from a recent BizzieBaby award - has just won a new Natural Health Beauty Award!
Weleda’s cellulite oil was voted the Winner in the Cellulite Treatment section in these latest awards, and a ‘Natural Health Best Buy’. Despite the myriad of new cellulite busting lotions and potions on the market, this is in fact the third time that Weleda’s Birch Cellulite Oil has won a Natural Health Beauty Award since it launched in 2005, as it consistently out-performs the competition. This product has become a true beauty classic with cult status, and from Weleda’s wide range of natural and organic cosmetics it ranks as the no.4 top seller.
Most mums will encounter cellulite at some point in their life. Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy loosen the connective tissues to enable the skin to become more elastic. These changes can make women more vulnerable to cellulite. If the tone of these elastic fibres is compromised, fat cells can become engorged with lipid fats and begin clumping together. When cells become larger they press through the weakened connective tissue to the skin surface creating the mattress-like dimpling. Once the cellulite process has started, the plump fat cells can also press into the fine vascular and lymphatic systems, restricting oxygen supply and making it more difficult for the skin to rid itself of toxins. This is where birch comes in.
Weleda’s Birch Cellulite Oil is 100% natural, contains no artificial additives, and is specially formulated to tone and firm skin, and tackle those orange peel dimples on thighs and hips. It’s made from organic silver birch, grown in the Czech Republic and gathered from certified collection. The tender young birch leaves contain valuable flavanoids which encourage secretion or elimination processes, to flush out toxins and restore skin radiance.
The leaf extract is combined with organic rosemary extract to stimulate circulation and metabolic processes, plus toning ruscus extract. Skin-smoothing oils of apricot, vitamin-rich wheatgerm and jojoba refine skin texture. A mix of summery essential oils supports the toning effect of the other plant ingredients.
At Weleda we realise that busy mums have more to worry about than cellulite, which is after all a natural process. But when you can find a little me-time, Birch Cellulite Oil can be incorporated into a pampering and nurturing programme to tone and firm skin, perhaps if you are considering returning to work and feel the extra body confidence would give you a much needed boost.
