One of the best gadgets you can own is a body brush. They come in all shapes and sizes and It might not come as a surprise that Aldi has launched their very own as part of their Lacura beauty range and it is similar in style to Mio Skincare body brush.Handy because this is a rounded body brush with a handle that is made from 100% natural undyed cotton, so that means you can easily hold it in the palm of your hand. The brush is also both vegan and cruelty free.
The brush section is made from with PP fibre bristles which work to naturally exfoliate the skin without being too overly abrasive, there is also a number of Thermoplastic Rubber Massage Nodules which are made soft rubber and these nodules, of which there is 18 in total, work to gently massage the skin to help smooth and firm
So why dry body brush? This body brush both massages and exfoliates the skin's surface at the same time all in an effort to reveal skin that is smoother and fresher looking underneath. The practise of body brushing not only helps to reduce cellulite but it is also a really effective way to remove dead and dry skin cells, leaving the skin feeling smooth and soft whilst at the same time helping to encourage the renewal of surface skin cells through that exfoliation and this helps to reveal a much healthier-looking skin.
To get the best use out of dry brushing, it is advised to do so before showering on dry skin and you start at your feet using short, lifting strokes in the direction of your heart to stimulate circulation and eventually work the brush all over your entire body for maximum effect. As mentioned, the bristles on this brush are not as abrasive as I have found on other brands, but you will find a slight reddening of the skin after using, this is quite normal.
Once you have completed your dry brushing, shower as usual to remove all the dead and dry skin and moisturise, preferably with a thick moisturiser and repeat the process at least once if not twice a week.
