No Lipo Lipo Dry Brushing Technique

body sculptingDry brushing is truly a remarkable body sculpting tool that should be included in everyone’s daily regimen. It’s absolutely step one in obtaining your dream body. When you dry brush using our sisal louffa mitt and strap, you remove the dead skin cells, stimulate circulation, boost detoxification, break down cellulite deposits and improve muscle tone. After a week of daily dry brushing, your skin will actually begin to glow and appear tighter, more toned and lifted!

Dry brushing is actually best performed first thing in the morning, before showering. Our sisal louffa mitt and strap are manufactured in Germany and created specifically for use with No Lipo Lipo. At first, they may seem a little rough on the skin, but this is a good thing! As your skin gradually begins to detox, the sensitivity will lessen.

The Method

Start by sitting on a stool or edge of your bathtub. You will dry brush each section of your body 30 times. If you want to accelerate your results, go for more strokes per area. With the sisal louffa mitt, begin by brushing the bottom of the foot from the toes to the heel, then the top of the foot from the toes to the ankle. Next brush the front and back of the leg from the ankle to the knee using quick back and forth strokes. Proceed to brush from the knee to the top of the front of your thigh and inner and outer thigh areas using quick back and forth strokes, making certain to cover the entire thigh area. Then repeat the same sequence on the opposite side of your body. Brush using upward strokes over the entire buttock and hip areas.

Brush up your waistline from hip bones to your natural waistline, covering the entire front of your body. Brush the palm of your hand from fingers to the wrist and repeat on the back of your hand. Brush upward from wrist to elbow, front and back. Now brush from elbow to shoulder, front and back. Brush under the bust from side to center of body in semi-circular strokes. Brush from the armpit across the top of the bust area to prevent or eliminate a flabby armpit. For the back of the body, you will use the louffa strap. While standing, place the strap at the back of your ankles. While holding the handles, shimmy the strap up the back of your body, working your way up to your neck as if drying yourself with a towel.

Care

To clean your mitts and strap ~ shake them outside. NEVER WASH. Always remember to replace mitts & strap once they become too soft.

This wreaks havoc on your looks, energy levels and overall wellness. The good news is, there are ways to detox and rejuvenate if you’re feeling the aftermath of Thanksgiving.

Read on for our favorite post-Thanksgiving recovery tips.

1. Get Moving

A great way to make progress on the road to recovery is to exercise A good strength training workout is your best bet, but anything from a walk, jog or Pilates session to swimming or cardio is going to help. If you can, take a walk and do a workout. The best thing you can do is get your blood pumping and burn some extra calories!

2. Lemon Water

Skip the latte and hydrate instead with some warm detoxifying lemon water. It will rev your metabolism, promotes healthy digestion and helps fight bloating.

3. Green Juice

Fresh green juice will boost the detox process while providing your body with important nutrients to fuel your day. Seek out fresh cold pressed juice made with organic ingredients for best results.

5. Dry Brush

Dry brushing sloughs off excess dead skin while kickstarting the lymphatic system, which is responsible for eliminating waste from our bodies. It also stimulates circulation and imparts a healthy glow to your skin. Combine it with No Lipo Lipo for some serious body sculpting.

Facial Detox—Beauty Face Mitt and Bamboo Glove 370 499 Facercise

Facial Detox—Beauty Face Mitt and Bamboo Glove

dry brushingThe Beauty Face Mitt and Bamboo Glove are face savers for sure! Dry brushing the face is a wonderful adjunct to the Facercise program of revolutionary facial exercises. If used regularly, dry brushing exfoliates, tones, tightens and actually lifts the skin of the face and neck. The exfoliation process initiates strong blood supply to the skin, sheds dead skin cells and allows the skin to breathe and function better.

Shedding old dead skin cells effectively accelerates the turnover process, making way for new fresh cells. This exfoliation unclogs the pores and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular practice will impart that youthful glow that makes you appear radiant. Exfoliating the skin also allows the skin to better absorb your skincare products.

Tips

If your skin is normal/dry, try using the Bamboo Glove in the morning and the Beauty Face Mitt in the evening—that’s what Carole does! You can also alternate by using the Bamboo Glove one day and using the Beauty Face Mitt the next. If your skin is oily, try using a combination of the two, three to four times a week.

Care

Keep your Mitt and Glove clean by washing them in face cleanser or Woolite and allow them to air dry. Always remember, once the Mitt or Glove becomes too soft always replace it to maintain its effectiveness!

The Method

Start by making a long “O” or oval with your mouth so that you do not stretch your skin. Then make 20 to 30 small, quick circular motions around your entire face, including the area above your mouth, under your eyes and even the area under your eyebrows. Apply enough pressure to feel as though you are massaging your face. Concentrate on one area at a time, then move onto the next area to keep track of your 20 to 30 circular motions.
