How to Dry Brush Skin to Remove Cellulite

Cellulite results from a combination of poor diet, lack of exercise and the improper elimination of toxins from your body. When toxins are trapped inside you, they accumulate in the superficial layers of the skin, weakening the connective tissues and allowing cellulite to form.

Instructions

1. Choose a natural fiber brush with a long handle for dry brushing. Bristled brushes are generally the most comfortable and easy to use. In a pinch, you can use a dry washcloth or a loofah.

2. Dry brush your entire body once daily and problem cellulite areas twice a day. A full body dry brushing will take only 15 minutes. Bathe or shower after dry brushing to remove dead skin and toxins from your body.

3. Start with your feet or go from the top down. Work in long, slow strokes, moving towards the heart. Because dry brushing releases toxins and stimulates blood flow, moving towards the heart speeds the elimination of toxins.

4. Maintain a daily dry brushing routine for at least 5 months to achieve maximum results. You should notice improvement in your hair and skin in general.

Tips & Warnings

• Dry brushing stimulates the skin, the nervous and lymphatic systems and increases blood flow to eliminate toxins through the entire body.

• For best results, combine dry brushing with occasional connective tissue massage, regular exercise and a diet of raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains and healthy proteins (such as fish and organic dairy products). Drink 8 glasses of water daily to aid elimination.
