What is body brushing?

Body Brushing is both stimulating and relaxing. A sisal brush is used on dry skin applying several long, upward strokes. After that, a softer brush is used on the area in the same way. This process is repeated on the back and front of the legs, the arms and the back. Then the body is massaged with oil and a wooden anti-cellulite massager.

History of body brushing

Variations of skin brushing have been used for thousands of years. For many centuries, the Japanese used vigorous skin brushing with loofa sponges prior to a hot bath. Comanche Indians scrubbed their skin with sand from the Texas river bottoms, and Cherokee Indians body brushed with dried corncobs.
