Dry Skin Brushing

[chanelle]

I'm new to this forum, but I had to weigh in on this. I would not have believed it, but dry brushing makes a huge difference! I began last April. I do it only one time a day for about 15 minutes. My skin has tightened considerably, especially in my midsection, where I used to have middle-age sag and love handles (I have exercised for years, and am thin, but started noticing the sagging around age 47 -- I'm now 49). Haven't seen much change in the cellulite around my thighs and backside, however, but I AM a believer.

I bought a brush at the local health food store last year. This reminds me I need to start using it again! It sort of hurts at first, but it's supposedly excellent for the lymph system.

Sorry for the bump, but I was wondering which type of brush to get. What has been working for you guys?

I took up skin brushing again (I'd vaguely and briefly tried it before) in the flush of excitement about starting a new diet. Some people seem to do it for crazy long amounts of time, such as half an hour a day! I'm only doing a few minutes, and I don't expect miracles, but hey, even if it just gives my circulation a bit of a boost, that'll be something.

I have dermographism and seborrhoeic eczema, and recently my skin has been worse than usual, flaring up and itching at we can't work out what triggers, with certain other types of possibly-related pain flaring up too. Not to mention that it's been years since I've de-haired my legs regularly. First of all epilation got too painful, mainly the joints though after a while my skin would literally hurt for a week afterwards, and then I found that even shaving my legs would leave them hurting for days. So I'm really curious to see whether skin brushing may help this over-sensitivity, or whatever it is, and plan to discuss it with my doctor.
