Body Brushing

Give your body an extra boost that is deserves by Body Brushing daily. Dry body brushing is often done in beauty salons as part of detoxifying or slimming treatments and is one of the best and ways to look after your skin. Body brushing is quick and easy and only requires 5 minutes of your time every morning and the results are amazing!

Dry body brushing is not only one of the quickest and cheapest ways of exfoliating your skin on a regular basis but will also help to stimulate circulation, break down fatty deposits and will aid lymphatic drainage and detoxification. The gentle massaging motion of the bristles has a beneficial effect on areas of cellulite, and is an effective way to eliminate toxins from the body. Most of us can’t afford to have luxury spa treatments every week so body brushing is a great way of creating similar effects at home.

Reasons to Body Brush:

• Removes dry, dead skin cells
• Results in smooth, nourished skin
• Helps combat cellulite and fatty deposits
• Increases energy and stimulates the body
• Feels great!

To get the most of body brushing it’s important to make sure you are doing it correctly. Use firm, sweeping strokes starting with the feet and working you way up the legs. Always body brush in an upwards motion towards the heart as this will encourage the return of blood and encourage lymphatic flow. Pay particular attention to cellulite-prone areas like your thighs. Brush your abdomen with a circular clock wise motion. Brush your arms with an upward motion, moving towards your heart. The whole process should take 3-5 minutes. For best results body brush first thing in the morning, when the increased blood flow will help wake you up.

Body brushing is a cheap and effective way to make you feel great and keep your skin looking radiant. Once you make it a habit, you will wonder what took you so long to start in the first place!
