Say Bye-Bye To Cellulite!!!
Ladies, I have known Rachel for years and I’ve always admired her beautiful, flawless and never aging
skin…now I know her secret and so do you! 🙂

Here at the LYL Headquarters we are in the business of making you look and feel your best from the inside out, providing you with nutritionally sound diet plans and top of the line fitness programs. By fuelling your body with the right foods, and sculpting your physique with the proper exercises we ensure that you will become the best version of you! To take that one step further, why not pamper your skin with an exfoliating technique that will make you feel and look even more beautiful from the outside in.
Dry body brushing is a centuries old exfoliation method used primarily to brush away dead skin cells leaving softer, suppler skin, but, it has been found to have many other health benefits as well. The most talked about benefit of dry brushing is detoxification. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and often it is the most neglected. We apply ointments, creams and potions to diminish pimples, wrinkles and age spots, but it is the removal of our dead skin, and the process of brushing that will truly reveal a healthy glow. By brushing the skin with an all natural body brush, you not only slough away dryness, but you increase circulation. As the skin receives one third of the blood circulating throughout the body, the promotion of this function through brushing will also promote lymphatic drainage, especially when you scrub around the groin and underarms where lymph nodes are most prominent. The lymphatic system is responsible for carrying nutrients throughout the body, discarding excess protein and fluid left behind capillary circulation activity, and it removing toxins from the body. Therefore, dry brushing is a must for anyone embarking on a cleansing regiment, as it will certainly amplify the detoxification process.
Another notable benefit of dry brushing is that it allows excess fat, including cellulite, to be more evenly distributed throughout the body, and thus less stubborn to get rid of through exercise and proper nutrition. The better the circulation, the better the toxic drainage, the less toxic build up remains. And cellulite is just that, toxic subcutaneous fat. Bring on the brush!!
But that’s not all. Here are some more amazing benefits of Dry Brushing.
- Removes cellulite
