How to get rid of cellulite?

1. Body brush

“Using a body brush increases circulation and exfoliates the skin, stimulates the lymphatic system and aids the body’s natural way of getting rid of toxins,” she tells us. “Plus it’s also believed to help break down fatty deposits under the skin that can result in cellulite.”

For best results, Lisa recommends dry brushing a few times a week. But even once a week will show a difference in your skin texture.

“It’s best to do dry brushing with a natural brush with stiff bristles,” she adds. “A long handle makes it easier to manoeuvre too and the best time to do it is before a shower or bath when the skin is dry – hence the name.”

Whilst advice varies, Lisa recommends the common practice of brushing upwards towards the heart:

“Start at the hands and feet and brush towards the chest or torso,” she explains. “But brush in a clockwise direction on the stomach area.”

It’s important not to do too many strokes in one area as it can make your skin sore, and never brush on skin that is infected, cut or grazed as this will not only hurt but “can spread the infection” too.

When you’ve finished brushing, follow up with a shower or bath. Then after drying up, apply a body oil to nourish your skin and you’ll be feeling like you’ve had a proper pamper at the same time.
