Despite the skin being the biggest organ of our body and its first line of defence, we generally care for it less than we do for other parts of the body. Dry skin brushing is a simple enough routine which will make up for the lack of care that we subject our skin to. It is the best way to remove cellulite from your thighs and legs, making those nasty patches disappear for a long time. There are many other benefits of dry skin brushing, but first let’s know a little bit about what the technique actually entails:
What exactly is Dry skin brushing?
There are special brushes for dry skin washing and the basic process is to brush the cellulite deposits on the skin away. This should be done when the skin is dry. Hence, the ideal time is when you are in the bath, just before you turn on the water. Care should be taken not to get the brush wet. Dry skin brushing can be done regularly, sometimes even twice a day.
Some more information on Dry skin brushing:
Dry skin brushing invigorates the skin. The direction of brushing should be towards the heart. Therefore, if you are brushing your legs, start with the ankles while if you are concentrating on your arms, you can start with your upper arms. On your stomach, the direction should be counter clockwise. Make sure that you brush firmly but not with too much pressure. Otherwise the bristles of the brush will just irritate the skin, and leave it red and inflamed.
