WORTH IT$150
Top pic May 22 and bottom June 1st. I will be adding dermarolling once a month which will skew results but am pleased with what drybrushing is doing with my skin texture in a short time! Elasticity really improving! I see another big improvement in my chest wrinkles and crepey white stretch marks on my boobs. They have perked up considerably since starting thiscroutine and I'm not reaching for scarves every time I get dressed for the day!! ??????????????

I am incorporating drybrushing into my daily routine to increase skin thickness and improve the appearance of cellulite. So far it's so worth it. Just be realistic. 1 am 45 with a history of big weight swings. One week results:
1. I brush in the morning and follow with a good application of avocado oil and retinol. The appearance of my skin is alway improved for the day by the plumping action of improved blood flow mixed with moisture. This is especially true with the small white wrinkly stretch marks. Cleavage area is drastically visibly improved. Plus it invigorates me for the day. ????????
2 My skin is remarkably soft and silky. Redness is greatly decreased on my chest which is a big problem area.
I haven't done it long enough to note cellulite changes, but I suspect it's most effective on loose skin and that in turn affects the appearance of cellulite. Whatever the case, it's a routine that feels good and at the very least offers temporary improved appearance but hopefully more lasting results as well. ???????? And it's cheap!

I'm not familiar with drybrushing, what is that? What sort of brush do you use and where do you buy it?
Will you post some pics when you have a second? Love to see your results! You can post them via our app if you have an iphone. If you don't have an iphone, you can post them on the site.
Thank you!

Drybrushing is a daily practice of taking a natural bristle brush (look up drybrushing on amazon and several pop up) and scrubbing the dry skin in the direction of the heart once daily. All sorts of crazy claims are made about it that are mostly probably not true, but I figure at the bare minimum I am stimiluating blood flow and exfoliating. To me it feels good, it centers me after a long day and I can feel my blood flow increase. It warms up my skin in the cold "fatty" areas (stomach and ass). So it's certainly not going to hurt and it's so cheap and feels good...why not?

as far as I can see, you are doing the right thing! skin brushing is very effective in the long run for cellulite because cellulite is caused by to many toxic waste matter stuck in a not so optimal lymph system! beauty comes from within, by which I mean from optimal health, so yes, fight the sluggishness, and tone up , french ladies have known this for ages. another tip... end with a cold shower on the breasts, and they stay really perky!

Do you do the dry brushing? Where do you purchase everything? Is their a spicific brand?

Yes, I do the brushing myself starting at my feet and working my way up. Takes about 5-10 mins total. I spray myself with cool water directly after and then put on oils and retinol cream. Very simple. Here's a link to the type of brush:

How do you dry brush your breasts? I use it on my arms and legs and think it feels good as well but I never thought about my breasts.
