TOOLS

Various tools, including loofahs (dried cucumbers), Natural Bristle Brush or Synthetic Bristle Brush are most preferred options. Body brushing involves using upward strokes towards your heart to get your blood and circulation going. You can do it in the shower, during a bath, or even dry before you hop in. In result will help rid of flaky skin, increase circulation, detoxify, help digestion, and even improve the appearance of cellulite.

There are many types of dry brushes to choose from, including ones that fit in the palm of your hand and ones with long handles to help you reach every inch of your skin with ease. Most are made of wood and the best dry brushes are made with natural bristles. Natural bristles are generally preferred over Synthetic Bristles because of their softness and gentleness on the skin. Natural Bristles are also more likely to be hypoallergenic, which is a good option for those with sensitive skin. While Synthetic Bristles can be harder and more abrasive, they are durable and can last longer.
