Dry Brushing
What is dry brushing?
Dry brushing is done right before getting in the shower, done with a dry brush you simply stroke your skin for 3-5 minutes. We suggest brushing towards the heart as that is the direction your lymph flows and where blood goes to circulate through the body.
Benefits
The top benefit of try brushing is that this technique stimulates your lymphatic system and promotes the elimination of toxins. Oftentimes our lymphatic system can become sluggish dry brushing can help support this bodily function.
Exfoliation! The coarse bristles of your brush will brush away dry, dead skin cells. Who doesn’t want happy, healthy and glowing skin?!
It is also believed dry brushing can reduce the appearance of cellulite. This exfoliation technique increases blood flow and can help the body break up the stagnant fat cells causing the cellulite.
Dry brushing can be a relaxing part of your self care routine. I personally enjoy spritzing my brush with lavender essential oil for a calming effect.
Why should I dry brush?
Dry brushing may seem like another trendy beauty routine but this practice actually originated in India over 5,000 years ago. In India dry brushing is known as “garshana” which is the Ayurvedic practice of “massaging dry skin for health.” The great thing about dry brushing is that is a simple, budget friendly technique that can greatly improve your health.
