Dry brushing for loose skin

Hi! So I'm currently on my journey to lose 100+ pounds and I'm a little concerned about loose skin and I've heard that dry brushing could help with that. Does anyone have some personal experience or knowledge about it?

Did squat for me. 5'2" on the dot, started at just over 200lbs. Lost 100lbs, current average is 103lbs.
I do believe extra skin depends on the person. Age, rate of loss, plus amount of loss, combined with how they went about it (skinny-fat is a real issue, you lose muscle mass as you lose weight). As I worked out to lower my body fat percentage (regain some muscle mass), my skin looked a whole lot less loose. Could have also just been the time that had passed combined with my age. Maintaining for about a year and a half now, though my actual composition has changed.
Edit;
To clarify... I didn't work at AT ALL for that 100lbs. I mean working out after, as I was happy with my weight number, but realized I still could be a better me at that same weight.2
