Dry Brushing While the lymphatic massage technique can work wonders on your face, dry brushing is a particularly effective tool for your body. "Dry brushing increases blood flow and it stimulates collagen production, which will help to thicken the skin and lessen the appearance of fat cells," says Vargas. "It also dramatically increases elasticity, so it's great for lifting and toning a problem area and is good for draining excess water out of your tissues, making you look less puffy and bloated." Vargas also notes that it gives your skin a little workout, making it thicker and more resilient, which helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite toward the surface of your skin.
To dry brush, start at the tops of the feet and brush upwards in small circular motions. Go over each area 3 to 4 times. Dry brush your whole body this way, giving extra attention to the thigh area. The only area you'll want to brush downwards is your stomach area.
