Dry body brushing

[NomDePlume]

Do you do it ?

I think you are supposed to brush every day before you shower (or bathe). Is that right ?

I do use a fab body scrub once or twice a week, I guess that's prob ok for exfoliation purposes, but body brushing is supposed to be good for your circulation too, isn't it ?

my friend does and said all her cellulite went away. i never have time or forget about it until am already in shower.

Yes, I have an elemis one. You start at your feet and brush upwards towards your heart. I then exfoliate with garnier sugar scrub in the shower. It's really good, it's one of the few scrubs I've used that doesn't leave a film on my skin.

But body brushing, yes do it. E'spa do them too. They're about ten pounds.

Thanks girls

I do it and it is excellent skin is smoother than ever achived with scrubs and creams and stays soft and smooth all day... cellulite does get a battering .. not sure it all goes but pretty much ... I totally recommend it .. and it is quite invigorating in the morning really wakes me up..

I've tried to do it but it makes me queasy

I've seen the elemis one on the TV - it's meant to be really good.

do you have to buy a 'special' brush or is there a substitute that you can give it a try with?

Blimey ! The elemis one is £17

Boots do one without a long handle for a few quid.

I use a body shop one with a long handle... works really well and is good for reaching round my back... not sure you need to spend £17 -- more important that bristles are just firm enough to brush of dead skin... the first few times I had clouds of cells floating round... but that has stopped now... it should not hurt but at same time should not tickle .. if that makes sense?

If you are going to get one you should really get a proper one, the boots ones aren't firm enough.

I've got the elemis one too. I do it before I get into the shower in the morning - it's the only thing that keeps cellulite at bay, ime
