It can help with sellulite. So can all those creams. Where the actual benifit to cellulite comes from is the increase in circullation. Cellulite is little pockets of fat. Dry skin brushing is a vigerous deep form of massage. It improves circulation, and also exfoliates making skin smoother.

Other things that can help:
1. Exercise. This one actually helps the most as building lean mass means improved circulation. Improved circulation means less cellulite, higher metabolism, less cold in extreamities, and so on.

2. Along with skin brussing, giving yourself a good massage with lotions.

3. Keep well hydrated. This improves many things including skin elasticity. It can help with cellulite, stretch marks, and saggy skin.

4. Be careful of clothing that is so tight it can actually cut off circulation. Getting undies that fit and aren't too small or to big also help alot with snuggies and preventing that problem where the elastic digs into your legs.

5. Cut back on caffine and sodium. I don't remember why this one works, I belive it again has to do with circulation abd blood pressure.
