Body Brushing For Cellulite
Reduce Cellulite With Body Brushing
Believe it or not, but we can actually reduce the appearance of cellulite with a simple procedure called dry body brushing. For a list of foods that cause cellulite click here.
Our skin is the largest organ in our body and it plays a huge role in detoxifying, causing the skin to be nick-named the third kidney (the lungs being called the second kidney). To be precise the skin is responsible for ¼ of the body’s total detoxification every day. Toxins leave our body via the skin through sweating, but if our skin is clogged with debris, such as dead skin cells, then our skin is unable to remove these toxins. When the blood is full of toxins you will develop different skin problems such as acne, dry skin, rashes, and cellulite.
Our skin is designed to release about two pounds of toxins daily. When our skin is unable to do this it puts added stress on our liver and kidneys to get the job done, or the toxins simply stay in our body causing us harm. This is why it's so important to add dry body brushing to our daily routine.
What Is Body Brushing ?
Skin or body brushing refers to the act of gently brushing your skin with a body brush or loofah. This easy to do at home technique exfoliates the skin (removes dead skin cells), encourages new cell growth, stimulates blood flow throughout your body, and it only takes about 5 minutes.
To put it simply, body brushing cleans and de-clogs our pores, allowing our skin to do it's job.

- Start by brushing the soles of your feet first (working your way up the rest of your body)
- Pay particular attention to areas where you have cellulite, such as your buttocks and thighs
- Brush hard enough that your skin turns a slight red color, but not hard enough to cause you any pain
- After brushing, take a warm shower or bath followed by a cool rinse
