Let’s talk cellulite. Most of us have it, and while I’m all for making peace with the dimples, I’m also perfectly happy to experiment with anything that might make them look a little less noticeable.
I came across the Weleda Birch Cellulite Body Oil and immediately started wondering if we could make our own version. Because you know us—if there’s a beauty product we can recreate in the DFB kitchen, we’re going to do a little research and give it a try.
I pulled together some of our favorite body oils (mistly from Plant Therapy, our go-to oil source), added our tried-and-true coffee oil, and of course kept birch as the star of the show. The result is our own DFB cellulite oil designed to nourish, moisturize, and help the skin look smoother and more supple.
Oh, and because so many of you have asked — you can find the apron I'm wearing in the video HERE.
