But it does make your skin soft and even. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-brushing#post-348536 Thu, 12 May 2011 18:25:54 +0000 rae 348536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>According to Wikipedia, cellulite "is caused by the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue." I don't see how anyone can affect herniated fat by scrubbing the epidermis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-brushing#post-348501 Thu, 12 May 2011 17:31:26 +0000 krishnidoux 348501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big fan and I do it to exfoliate skin, to keep it soft. I have been doing it for 4 years. I also exfoliate my face (gently) with a smaller round brush, and my scalp (yes!), also very gently, using a larger round natural bristle brush. I find it helps in having less bad hair days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-brushing#post-347691 Wed, 11 May 2011 09:44:46 +0000 Kristie In Auckland 347691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sure the results are great, and I often tell myself I'll start doing it...<br /> But it just feels weird scrubbing away at DRY skin? Just seems strange! I didn't do it in the summer as was worried about scrubbing off what little colour I had... But maybe now it's cold I'll give it a whirl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-brushing#post-345947 Sat, 07 May 2011 20:10:01 +0000 Kate 345947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regardless of the claims about cellulite, I think this might be the perfect way for me to exfoliate more. I have rather sensitive skin (I am allergic to most types of sunscreen and got rashes from bubble bath as a kid), so exfoliating with soap or any kind of body wash really dries me out. I love the idea of being able to exfoliate without water and with a tool that only needs to be purchased once rather than with products that need to be continually restocked. I just ordered this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0002JFZDQ?tag=betteraddons-20" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B.....raddons-20</a> and I'll report back after I've been able to use it a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-brushing#post-345907 Sat, 07 May 2011 17:35:14 +0000 Maya 345907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fewer ingrown hair and softer skin are the result of basic exfoliation. I use a $2 loofah from the drugstore that does the trick just fine for this purpose. Any exfoliating device can do that. </p> <p>All the fluff about toxins and "stimulating the skin" etc is just BS though. I wouldn't hold my breath regarding the cellulite. Something tells me this gal never really had a major problem with cellulite in the first place to be making such tall claims. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-brushing#post-345903 Sat, 07 May 2011 17:23:06 +0000 Angie 345903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Body brushing exfoliates the skin very effectively - which is why it feels so smooth. </p> <p>Getting rid of cellulite - well, lets just say I am very skeptical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-brushing#post-345876 Sat, 07 May 2011 16:42:46 +0000 minerva 345876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'v read about body brushing on <a href="http://www.amodelrecommends.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.amodelrecommends.com</a> (you can watch a how-to-video on the website or on youtube) and started just a week ago. No obvious results for reducing cellulite so far, but I do notice that my skin is much smoother and that I have less grown-in hairs around my ankles!<br /> So I thought that it might be a good tip to share with you girls. Any one else who uses a body brush? </p>
