Cellulite - a change in skin fat that causes cells to increase and compress, causing irregularities and ripples on the surface of the skin - is a problem common to almost all women at some point in their lives. But do not despair because it has a solution.
It's amazing how simple it can be, but one of the best treatments for cellulite, which we can do at home, two to three times a week, is really a dry massage, using only one body brush. This method is used there are millennia in Ayurveda medicine, and works because it acts to the surface of the skin to stimulate everything that goes underneath (the lymphatic system) and go to the origin of the problem.
What is the body brush massage?
It is an exfoliation technique that consists of a dry massage using only one body brush of soft natural bristles that we pass through the whole body. In Ayurveda tradition, this technique of massaging dry skin to improve health, body and mind is called garshana, and still today is a daily beauty ritual for many women in Asia.
Why is the body brush Does it work? Why Naturally stimulates lymphatic drainage, helping the body to break free from excess fluids, leaving the skin more toned and thin, and to standardize its texture. Massage will increase circulation and help “dissolve” cellulite by breaking fat deposits and preventing new cellulite formation by promoting lymphatic drainage.
In the massage process, the Brush performs a soft exfoliation, stimulating regeneration, removing dead cells and revealing healthy cells, and breaking the links between the lipids, for a smoother and more uniform appearance.
In addition, the massage itself is delicious, a relaxing experience to free tension and soften the muscles.

How to use body brush?
If it has come this far, it is because it is probably already fed up with miracle treatments (many of them expensive) that promise to end cellulite and rigorously do nothing, or almost nothing. In addition to working, body brush massage is very simple, super nice and even easy to do. We explain how:
- Choose the right brush. Ours body brush Natural bristles are perfect for massaging the skin of the whole body, and thanks to its cable allows you to access the back of the body easily.
- You should use the brush over dry skin before the bath, and after the shower (and a passage of cold water to stimulate circulation) can apply a moisturizing cream.
- Brush every body, from ankles to neck, with rising and circular movements.
- Start on your feet and go through your legs and thighs, with rotational movements on the front and behind.
- Continue in the belly, always in circular movements, moving to the buttocks and back, in rising movements from the lower back to the neck.
- Brush your arms in ascending movements, from hand to the shoulders. Do not forget the armpit zone, a super important point of the lymphatic system.
- Slide the brush from the neck to the shoulders on both sides, and then mass your chest.
- Be kind: the body brush massage is fabulous, but don't overdo it, be kind. Even though it's smooth, this technique goes a little deeper than a "normal" exfoliation so you don't have to be too vigorous, especially in more sensitive areas, such as the neck.
If you have skin problems such as eczema, excessively sensitive skin or psoriasis, the use of body brush is not indicated as it may aggravate inflammation. Besides, it is perfectly safe. Incorporate this amazing technique into your beauty ritual, repeat it two to three times a week, and let your skin shine, without fear, from head to toe!
