THE AT-HOME TREATMENT THAT BEATS CELLULITE

Cindy Crawford

Approximately 90% of women are battling cellulite. Including big stars such as Kim Kardashian West, who has been grilled for the past 24 hours for flaunting hers while on vacation in Mexico. Which leads us to thinking whether one should accept the fact that cellulite is a natural thing amongst women and live with it, or go ahead and ambush the flaw, making it wish it never had set its roots on the skin in the first place. Either way, there is one method that actually improves the appearance of cellulite, or “orange peel syndrome.”

Beating the causes of cellulite starts with adapting to a healthy diet and exercise, boosting metabolism and maintaining a good physiology. Nevertheless, as summer is fast approaching, opting for a short cut is conveniantly applicable.

Dry brushing is not a new phenomenon in the beauty market, but a new wave of wooden brushes that have been developed for a more enjoyable purpose are. While the effects of dry brushing reduce the appearance of cellulite, its significant qualities also stimulates the lymphatic system, boosts circulation, improves digestion and exfoliates dead skin cells, providing skin with an alluring lustre and softness, as well as an energized body.

How To Properly Dry Brush?

Start at the feet, brushing upwards towards the heart in circular motions or firm but gentle strokes on a dry body. Same goes for the arms, starting at the hands, working all the way up to complete the treatment at the chest, where the lymphatic drainage occurs. To intensify the benefits, apply oil on the brush and take a shower before starting the beauty regimen. Neck and face can also be treated, just be cautious and use a special brush that’s designed for these delicate areas. It is also ideal to finish the beauty ritual with a serum or oil, allowing the products to delve deeper into the skin to achieve better and quicker results.
