skin brushing
67Giving my body a firm dry brush all over makes my skin glow by removing the top dull, dead layer of skin and encouraging new cells to regenerate. Not only does it feels fantastic but it is the only time I can offer myself a gentle massage in areas where ordinarily I would not be able to reach without the help of my long body brush. The massaging motion of the bristles also has a beneficial effect on areas with a tendency to develop cellulite, and it is an effective treatment for helping eliminate toxins from the body.
Reason for Skin Brushing
- It gives you smooth glowing skin.
- Helps combat cellulite.
- Stimulates blood and lymph flow.
- Removes dead skin cells.
- Helps eliminate toxins from the body.
- Encourages cells to regenerate.

How to brush your body
The technique is very simple, you only need a couple of minutes and a body brush with natural bristles. To make things easier, choose a brush with a long handle, so that you can reach all the otherwise inaccessible areas of your back.
For your face you will need a softer brush or a soft flannel.
Skin brushing is done on dry skin. Make sure the room is warm, undress and find a comfortable seat so you can easily reach your feet and lower legs.
Start at your feet with the sole of your foot, and work upwards, brushing the legs, then the buttocks, up the arms, then the chest and stomach and finally your face.
Always brush towards the heart. Be gentle around the areas with soft skin.
Try to keep a rhythm going and brush your skin everyday. It will only take 3 to 5 minutes to do it, and the results are worth every single second. After a few days you will notice the difference. You can do it as a routine before having your night time shower or bath. However, skin brushing is better done in the morning as the acceleration of blood flow has an invigorating effect. .

wow ! very nice hub! I actually just brush my self in the shower, I dont know if that has the same effect if you skin is wet! I guess next time I'll try brushing my dry skin! thank you for sharing!! very good tips!
Wonderful hub!
You learn something every day. Nice hub!
Well I wonder if this works for guys too. See my hub on pampering, if you dare!
So that's the secret of your beauty. Sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
VioletSun: A loofah is great for under the shower. The difference with skin brushing is on the technique. I like both of them but I must admit I have a soft spot for brushing.
tinacarla: skin brushing should be done dry for better results. Under the shower is better to use a loofah.
Ardie and KT pdx : Thanks for your comments.
Sistyorso: This is good for both men and women and I am going straight to see see your hub...
Dottie: Not a secret any more LOL
I'm sorry Princessa...I won't tell everybody, just my friends, LOL.
Skin brushing is absolutely wonderful!!!! Beats a loofah - and once you get used to it, it becomes addictive!
Thanks for the info!

Hey, I thought, a loofah in the shower was a good brushing, did this this morning. Learned something new about dry brushing through your article.
