Body Brushing for Smooth, Healthy Skin

Body brushing sloughs off old skin cells, revealing newer, healthier skin. Learn about this inexpensive, effective technique.

A buildup of dead skin cells can cause everything from dryness to clogged pores to dull skin. Removing this layer every day helps to renew the skin, so it looks luminous, healthy and smooth. Body brushing is a simple, low-cost technique that effectively exfoliates the skin. Learn why it works and how to use body brushing to get brighter, better skin with Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Body Brushing: Revealing Brighter, Smoother Skin.”

Benefits of body brushing

Here’s how body brushing helps skin. It:

Clears the skin. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, dirt and bacteria from the surface and pores of the skin. This leads to clearer skin, since acne occurs when dead skin mixes with bacteria and sebum.

Increases blood flow. The massaging action of body brushing stimulates blood flow, bringing nutrients and oxygen to the surface of the skin. This is why body brushing may keep cellulite at bay. Plus, that massaging action can help relieve tension and stress.

Boosts other products’ benefits. Dead skin cells can prevent products from penetrating the skin. When this layer of dead skin is removed with body brushing, formulas are able to sink into skin. For instance, moisturizers can then do their job of helping skin retain moisture. Skin ends up looking smoother and softer.
