EXFOLIATION FACTOR

This not only to enhances your skin texture but also brightens it. The downside of exfoliating with dry brushes is that people who have sensitive skin , eczema, psriosis can’t use it. It is also preferable to be gentle with your skin as people think that going harsh removes the dead skin cells better. If you do so then there is a high chance that you might bruise your skin or cause micro tears.

 

REMOVAL OF TOXINS

The additional benefit which is the increase in drainage of lymphatic fluid that flushes out toxins from the body but this is not yet completely proven. Though dry brushing can help in better flow of lymph but the detoxification factor still remains a myth. Dry brushing increases the circulation which gives the skin slightly red ,swollen and supple appearance but that’s just temporary. Your daily diet and lifestyles is the major thing that is responsible for the removal of toxins from your body.

 

REDUCES CELLULITE

The reason why sale of dry brushes went really up and gained a lot of popularity because people started claiming that it reduces cellulite. Although cellulite is normal  but can sometimes be a reason for body insecurity. What dry brushing does is that it makes skin softer and smoother because of which the light reflects better on the skin which tends to reduce the appearance of cellulite but does not eliminate it from the body.

 

CONCLUSION

So dry brushing is worth giving a try as it’s cheap and you can easily find a dry brush anywhere. But the expectations should be realistic like giving yourself a rejuvenated skin and smooth appearance but don’t believe in the false hype created around it.
