Benefits of Dry Brushing -- reduce cellulite

During my teenage years I didn’t worry about my skin much at all — I went to the tanning bed (I know.. ugh!), slept with makeup on after a long night, didn’t care about exfoliating or moisturizing, etc. As I’ve learned more about nutrition and health, I’ve realized that taking care of our skin should be a priority.
Of course, eating a nutritious diet and hydrating with plenty of water are both key to keeping our skin healthy but I’ve found a few others things that are helpful as well, especially during the winter months when my skin is insanely dry. One of my top skin saving tricks (that I’ve talked about many times before), is unrefined coconut oil. I have a jar in the bathroom and use it as my daily moisturizer (in the morning and at night) for my face and body. Once applied the oiliness goes away quickly and leaves my skin silky smooth. It’s been a game changer for me!
I first heard about dry bruising and all its benefits many years ago while attending the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I was intrigued and looked into buying a dry brush but never got around to it. While Christmas shopping with friends this year, I randomly came across a dry brush in Nordstrom Rack for $9.99. Kind of random, but I took it as a sign that I needed to start dry brushing so I picked it up and have been using it ever since.
I try to remember to dry brush every day before showering. I’ll admit, it was hard to remember at first but lately I’ve been leaving the brush out on a little table beside the sink in our bathroom so that I remember to do it. And I’ve been loving it so far — the process gives me goose-bumps, which feels like I’m waking up my skin cells and energizing my system. Plus my skin is softer than it’s ever been!
