Dry Brushing

WHAT IS DRY BRUSHING?

Dry brushing involves gently massaging the body with a natural bristle brush to help exfoliate the skin, stimulate the lymphatic system, and increase circulation.

The bristled brush is swept across the skin, from toe to head brushing towards the heart. Both the skin and brush are completely dry

DOES DRY BRUSHING EXFOLIATE THE SKIN?

The action of dry brushing is excellent for exfoliating rough, dry skin, and unclogging pores.  Gentle dry brushing will help to remove dead skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion. Over time, exfoliation can speed up cell turnover and help minimize some of the effects of aging. Followed up with a nourishing lotion can leave your skin feeling softer and smoother.

MAY IMPROVE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Dry brushing is often used as a form of lymphatics drainage and may help stimulate the lymphatic system. The gently massaging motion can help to move the build-up of lymph fluid that causes swelling.

MAY IMPROVE BLOOD FLOW

It is believed dry brushing may improve blood flow and circulation. Due to the light massaging effect of the brushing. Improved circulation helps provide oxygen-rich blood to support healthy tissues and organ function. Increasing blood flow can also help improve energy and benefit people with inflammatory conditions.
