Dry Body Brushing

[KoalaFace]

Should I be doing it?

I've been doing it for a month or so, definitely notice a difference on my thighs and seems to help the tum too as I'm prone to water retention/bloating

Thanks peppermint if you've noticed a definite difference I'll give it a go!

I'm not sure what the benefits are supposed to be though!

Think it's meant to stimulate your circulation and shift toxins, so it helps improve cellulite etc

I've done it in the past and definitely notice a difference whenever I start again. I'm too lazy to do it all the time though. I settle for using one of those mesh ball things in the shower which has a similar effect. Not sure it works at shifting toxins etc. but makes my skin look more toned.

Have been wondering about this. What are you supposed to use?

Long handled brush - mine's from the Body Shop. It def makes my bum and legs feel smoother.

Does it hurt?

Oh no! I prefer doing it in the spring/summer as it can make me shiver but it shouldn't hurt! It's quite pleasant actually, sort of makes you feel a bit glowy.

Ooo glowy!! I could go for that! Thanks . Might give it a go then.

Mine is a round brush with a strap across that you put your hand through. I am quite lax about it but when I do it before every shower I find it does get rid of all those red spots I get on my calves, thighs and upper arms. It doesn't hurt, it just feels nicely tingly.

You can buy a brush for it in boots etc; it has quite stiff bristles and you rub in circular motions starting at your extremities . It doesn't hurt but wakes you up as it gets the blood flowing etc
