Secondly, it cleanses the pores throughout the body. In addition to removing dead skin, dry brushing helps to naturally open the pores and cleanse them of accumulated dirt and oil.

Regular massage helps to stimulate the flow of lymph, due to which toxins are more actively removed from the body, and the skin begins to smooth out faster in the presence of visible cellulite. However, it should be borne in mind that massage is just an addition and you need to take care of nutrition first.

Try to move the brush over the body as smoothly as possible and always along the massage lines, the scheme of which can be found in the public domain. For each section, about 10 movements are needed, no more. And in no case does not affect the location of the lymph nodes.

In addition, such a procedure warms up the body well, accelerates the blood, and invigorates, so the morning hours immediately before taking a shower will be the ideal time for it.
