Is it important to do both dry brushing and a form of wet exfoliation with a loofah (that's what I meant by wet skin brushing, I should have worded that better). Thanks for checking in on us here :) As you can see, we still have a lot of questions! That would be great, Bron!

Dry brushing in the bath will not only ruin your brush but also have NO affect. If you like I will write more eloquently answer this in more detail.

So nice to hear from you again. Not surprisingly, you bring up more good questions. I think the circular motions make sense for wet skin brushing because it's so focused on exfoliation. With dry brushing, I think the main purpose is to stimulate the lymphatic system, so that is why they recommend the longer movements (to best trace the pattern of lymphatic flow).<br /><br />Are you asking how many strokes to be effective, or how many dry brushing sessions? For the former, I would say until the area turns a rosy color. For the latter, it probably varies for everyone. When I first started, I saw results within two weeks, dry brushing twice a day. But last year I hit a plateau and it didn't seem to have an effect on my remaining cellulite at all. This is the same time my fluoroderma had returned after moving back to the States. I am excited to see what happens now that I don't live in a fluoridated area. I will be sure to keep you posted! Feel free to do the same! Hi, Harbour House! So nice to hear from you again.

I've always exfoliated in the shower using shower gel and brushing in small circular motions. That seems like the best way to brush off dead skin cells to me. So I was struck when you recommended 'long, smooth movements' for dry brushing - how many times would I have to brush my lower leg, for example, for it to have an effect? once? twice? twenty? wow it's cool to think I inspired a whole entry devoted to my question! very informative thanks. reading it, I'd propose a couple of tentative conclusions. it seems the motion of wet brushing to get rid of dead skin cells may be quite different to dry brushing to stimulate lymphatic drainage.
