Dry Skin Brushing Benefits: Banish Cellulite, Improve Skin Tone And More

The moment I've heard about this method to remove cellulite from my life I said I should give it a go! I've already mentioned it in and I now guarantee that it's one of the most effective ways of combating cellulite. Although it truly is a simple method of improving your skin, this tactic is even more beneficial than you would have thought. Dry skin brushing buffs away dry skin cells, boosts circulation and improves lymphatic drainage, so mostly it's going to eliminate all the toxins in your body.

How to dry brush at home in order to remove cellulite?

The method itself is incredibly easy and only takes minutes, but there are a few guidelines to keep in mind, including the type of brush and the direction you move it. I'm going to be presenting everything you need to know about skin brushing in order for you to do it properly and get rid of cellulite as soon as possible.

1. How often do you need to dry brush to burn cellulite: Dry skin brushing effectively opens up the pores on your skin. This is something you can and most probably should be doing daily, even twice a day (I know that it seems a bit too much and I know that many of us don't have the time to do it, but the weekends should be for pampering, right?). Your skin should be dry, so the ideal time is in the shower before you turn on the water. Just a reminder, don't get the brush wet.

2. Directions on how to get rid of cellulite with dry brushing: You should only brush towards the heart and I try to emphasize on that. Making long sweeps, avoid back and forth, scrubbing and circular motions. Start at your feet, moving up the legs on both sides, then work from the arms toward your chest. On your stomach, direct the brush counterclockwise. And, don't brush too hard: Skin should be stimulated and invigorated but not irritated or red.

3. Type of brush to get rid of cellulite: The bristles should be natural, not synthetic, and preferably vegetable-derived. The bristles themselves should be somewhat stiff, though not too hard. Look for one that has an attachable handle for hard-to-reach spots, if necessary.

4. Benefits of dry brushing for skin: As you probably already know or have figured out from its name, dry skin brushing removes dead skin cells, sloughing away dry skin from areas like the knees, elbows and ankles.. Alongside that benefit, dry skin brushing also promotes tighter skin, cell renewal and improved blood and lymph flow. Giving that dry skin brushing helps the lymphatic system release toxins, it will also aid digestion and kidney function. You will also notice how your skin starts to glow more and your complexion will see some well deserved improvements.
