Body Brushing And Brown Sugar Body Scrub Perfect In February



A daily dose of good hard body brushing and showering with a heavenly brown sugar body scrub. Just incorporating these 2 simple beauty steps in your routine, can give you back softer, smoother skin. And it's time to step up the exfoliation during the cruel month of February.

Yeah, it's winter, and the air is dry and cold. And it's time to 'Feed your skin,' ladies.

Step #1. Before showering, it's very beneficial to dry body brush. Great for the dimpled derriere and other cellulite-prone areas...like thighs, upper arms, and belly.

Says who? Anushka.

Anushka who operates the world-renown Cosmedical Centre, Spa, Salon & Cellulite Clinics in New York City, has been an authority on cellulite and its prevention for more than 3 decades. And her wonderful website AnushkaOnline features cellulite treatments, target exercises, nutritional recipes, the ABC's of cellulite, and more.

Circulation can really help tone down cellulite and bring back smooth, taut skin:

Keep moving.....Anushka's a firm believer in taking a large natural bristle brush, and using the brush daily to give those areas special attention. "Dry brushing helps eliminate dead skin cells which make the skin look smoother. And it also improves lymph and blood circulation. I recommend a soft, natural bristle brush. Start at your feet and continue upwards in a circular motion towards the heart. Use once a day."

Step #2. Showering with a wonderful body scrub/polish completes the body exfoliation process. Try Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish Treatment ($65, 140z. tub, at Sephora).

This is a super gentle and effective body scrub. Every body should exfoliate. Your skin needs to get rid of dry skin cells and rough patches, especially at elbows, knees, and feet. But you also need to bring the moisture back, And this invigorating body polish by Fresh, does just that with almond oil and other all-natural ingredients like ginger root extract, peppermint, and citrus oils.

Perform Steps #1 and #2 daily, and your body will thank you.
