Orange peel skin is an issue for many women. Ideally, the unloved dimples are countered with a holistic therapy that includes sport, nutrition and targeted activation of the tissue metabolism through manual therapies. Fat deposits in the female body zones that are frequently affected by cellulite, such as the thighs, abdomen and buttocks, impede the transport of tissue water and lymph. This causes dimples.

Brush massages as a cellulite treatment are an effective home application. They promote blood circulation and lymph flow in the tissues, activating the removal of waste products. The anti-cellulite brush is equipped with pure natural bristles. It can be used both for dry massage and in the shower. A massage in dry condition has a more intensive effect, in combination with water it is more gentle for the skin. Both massages are effective in stimulating the metabolism in the tissues, with firming and also preventive effect when used regularly. Thus, the development of orange peel skin can also be prevented. The anti-cellulite brush is available in two bristle thicknesses, soft and medium. We recommend the softer version for very sensitive skin or skin that is sensitive to pressure.

Application:

Basically, start at the extremities (furthest from the heart) and massage towards the center of the body (towards the heart). Brush with light pressure in slow, steady strokes toward the heart. Start with the front and back of the right foot toward the lower leg. Then brush from the lower leg to the upper leg and continue to the right half of the buttocks. Now brush the left side (foot- lower leg and upper leg to the butt half) in the same way.

Work in the same way (towards the heart) for the arms (that is, starting with the right hand to the forearm, from the forearm to the upper arm). Then sweep the left hand up to the left upper arm. For the abdomen, it is important to follow the course of the large intestine when brushing, so as not to cause constipation. To do this, start at the bottom of the right side of the abdomen, brush upwards in small stroking movements until you reach the base of the ribs, then continue horizontally to the left side and from there downwards. In this way, you stroke in a clockwise direction. This is important.
