Body Brushing

Body brushing helps our lymphatic drainage system to remove toxins from the body. In doing so, it helps to reduce cellulite in our thighs and rear, where fats, proteins and waste products tend to accumulate.

Body brushing is not a miracle cure for cellulite but it does help, especially if you improve your dietary habits. Five minutes of dry brushing before your bath or shower helps cellulite by getting fluid moving and boosting blood flow.

Use a natural bristle brush and take long strokes. Start at your feet, brushing up your legs and thighs toward the groin. Work in circular movements over the abdomen going left, then do hands and arms, back and across the shoulders. Use gentle downward strokes on your neck, throat and chest.

Your skin may redden and start tingling as the body-brushing increases the circulation in areas of greatest fat-concentration. Be sure to drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins.
