Buff body with drybrush

Fast track you way to gleaming, younger looking skin without the dead surface cells that look dull, dry and, after an uncertain age, just old. Here’s how to do it.

You can’t beat the brush, if you don’t do anything else for your body, dry-brush with a massage brush. It helps boost circulation; slough away dead skin cells and is the most effective weapon against cellulite. Sweep in upwards strokes towards your heart, from feet to tummy, hands to shoulders (avoiding tender areas such as the breasts), for two minutes each morning.

Scrub up nicely, we’re also huge fans of body scrubs. Scrubs are some of the easiest products to create naturally; salt and sugar can be suspended in oil, then scooped onto skin in the shower or bath, massaged in and rinsed away.

Healthy body, follow these points to help ditch the dimples, eat fresh organic food, use supplements, take vigorous daily walks, do plenty of stretching exercise, such as swimming and yoga, and walk up and down hills or stairs, and use firming body moisturizers.
