<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Increases Radiance
Dry brushing with a natural-haired brush in soft strokes exfoliates the skin to let new skin show through. This exfoliation, along with the stimulation of the skin by the brushing, will help your skin appear more radiant. Dry brushing is soothing if done slowly, which may leave you feeling relaxed and thereby improve your overall appearance.
On the Other: Unproven Cellulite Fighter
Cellulite, at the end of the day, is just fat. Experts, including those at the Mayo Clinic, agree that weight loss through diet and exercise is the most effective way of losing cellulite, along with body fat. Lasers and radiofrequency systems hold promise as short-term solutions but require multiple treatments and are effective for only about six months. However, there is no evidence that dry brushing reduces cellulite either in the short or long term.
Bottom Line
Dry brushing is inexpensive and will not harm you or your skin if done gently. There is no reason not to try it for cellulite, but don't count on it to work. Focus on and enjoy your new glowing complexion, and maybe a few dimples on your thighs won't matter so much.
