As we mentioned before, we must make gentle but firm circular movements throughout our skin, with the exception of the skin of the face and the area of the neckline or breasts, since they are very sensitive areas and can suffer irritation. So, we start with the legs, making a circular sweep with the brush from the feet up to the thighs, doing several repetitions in this area to fight against the detestable cellulite, taking care not to mistreat the skin.
Then, we continue with our arms making upward circular movements, from the hands to the shoulder. To finish, we carry out the same procedure with our torso and back, bearing in mind that for this area we will need a brush with a long handle or the help of someone, who will facilitate the exfoliation in this area.
