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. What’s more, used in conjunction with Weleda’s certified organic Birch Juice (200ml) you’ll get even better results!

A dermatological study* confirmed that when using Birch Cellulite Oil twice daily over 28 days in combination with Birch Juice, testers’ skin was on average noticeably 35% firmer and skin elasticity improved by 20%. Visible improvement of skin-structure was recorded in 85% of cases, and testers’ skin showed a healthy 20-25% increase in blood circulation/microcirculation.

A favourite with supermodel Erin O’Connor, this health supplement helps you spring clean your body healthily and naturally. It’s made from silver birch extract, without added sweeteners, and blended with refreshing lemon juice. As well as helping you rediscover your vitality, a detox programme also brings beauty benefits: cleansing your system purifies the complexion to leave skin clear and bright.

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.

* The latest efficacy tests for Birch Cellulite Oil were conducted independently by German dermatological specialists proDERM, Institut für Angewandte, Dermatologische Forschung GmbH, Hamburg, over 12 weeks, using Birch Juice for the first three weeks of the study.

Samantha Awarded Weleda Birch Cellulite oil 4.8/5

Lovely, luxurious oil, a real treat. The packaging was A bit clinical/medicinal. Gorgeous, nice thick oil. Absorbs brilliantly leaving skin silky soft. Had a very strong aroma but I liked its herbal scent, left I feeling very relaxed. This oil never caused any irritation to my skin. I would use the oil twice a day after bath/shower. I used this over a month and certainly noticed it helped with cellulite towards the end of the trial. A very good high quality product. A bit pricey but great for a treat to help keep pregnant skin soft and smooth. The Product is great just maybe produce improve the packaging and make it prettier. I would consider purchasing this as a treat. I have recommended and purchased some for my pregnant sister. Luxury in a bottle leaves you feeling like you’ve been to a spa!

I liked the presentation and the look and wording of the product. God quality packaging. The oil is absorbed easily and doesn't stain clothes. It makes the skin silky smooth. Unlike other products this one smells nice. While using this oil it never caused me any reaction or irritation. I would use the oil twice a day. I saw a real improvement to the tone of my skin. This product is Excellent. Personally I think it is a bit pricey. I would buy this product again if it was a bit cheaper. An excellent product for improving skin tone an ideal luxury treat.

Lynn Awarded Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil 4/5

Looks expensive. Simple but effective packaging – looks expensive and describes what the product does. Oil by its nature is not particularly easy to get out of a bottle without spilling it unless you’re very careful; however the neck design meant it didn’t flow too freely. I thought that it felt like it absorbed very well. Enough to be happy to put pj’s over the top. But probably not my best trousers! I think that the smell is lovely. Even my husband commented on it ‘what’s that funny smell – a bit like lemons – I really like it’. This oil did not cause any irritation to my skin. I would use this twice a day, sometimes just once if I forgot on a morning. It’s very hard to say. My skin felt much smoother and softer in general, however I was also dieting and training for a 10k whilst using the oil so that may have had an effect. I’m tending towards yes though as I think that the oil definitely made a difference to the overall improvement in my skin (it definitely improved). I read the literature that came with the product and it gives the impression that it’s a good quality product. The results back this up. It’s quite expensive compared to a standard moisturiser, but I would say it is worth the outlay and probably not a lot more than other cellulite treatments. No need to improve product design is good. I would consider buying this item and possibly other Weleda products. Would recommend too. Very happy using this oil as it smells lovely and definitely improved the feel and texture of my skin.
