Dry Brushing Method
- Brush before bathing/showering
- Brush from toe-to-head – always toward the heart (to increase circulation)
- Using circular strokes, start at your feet and work your way up each leg.
- Then start from the hands and move towards the shoulders.
- Finally, do the torso.
- On your back, work in downwards strokes from the back of the neck (obviously this is easier with a long-handled brush, but not impossible with a hand-held loofah).
- To battle cellulite, concentrate on affected areas for an extra minute or 2. Be firm, but don't brush so hard it hurts. Your skin should feel tingly and alive.
- After brushing, enjoy a warm shower.
