Daily body brush to keep you beautiful

What can invigorate your body, soften your skin, speed up the elimination of those nasty toxins and boost your circulation? Oh, and did I forget to mention, helps to banish cellulite.

You may wonder, but the answer is as simple as daily body brushing.
I have incorporated using the body-brush technique into my daily routine before taking a shower, 10 minutes of your time is all it takes.
To start this simple procedure go out and purchase a body brush, make sure the bristles are not too coarse as this will scratch your skin, test the brush on the back of your hand. The one I bought is circular, which is easy to hold as you can see in this week’s picture.
Now you have the miracle brush, where do we start?
An easy way to remember the technique is to always work towards your heart, using long strokes start at your feet work up to the knee and then from knee along the thigh to the hip in a circular motion onto the bottom and lower back.
Apply same routine from finger tips to shoulders using long strokes.
This procedure should only take you about 10 minutes to cover the entire body then its time to jump in the shower. Do not use on the face.
There are many benefits to body brushing as I briefly stated above, you will see a big improvement in the texture of your skin, it will be smoother, so no more dimple behinds. It speeds up your body’s lymphatic drainage therefore ridding your body of lingering toxins which, over time, with exercise and healthy eating, will see a new slimmer you.  Don’t forget after showering to use your favourite body moisturiser, as not only is this the best time for products to penetrate your skin, but by body brushing you have added to the process. This also applies to having an aromatherapy massage, as the oils will sink into skin easier.
I think we are all capable of giving ourselves 10 minutes of TLC a day, don’t you?
Luxury indulge: Elemis Cellutox, Active Body Concentrate
         vs
Bargain purchase: L’Oreal Perfectslim Anti-Cellulite firming gel.
Yet again I am faced with a tough choice as Elemis products are excellent but L’Oreal Perfectslim wins hands down.
From the first initial usage you feel like your thighs have been sucked in and toned. Even skin tone looks and feels smoother. I have recommended it to friends and they also love the product. Just image how they will look after a few weeks of body brushing too?
