Stimulate, Exfoliate and Rejuvenate through dry brushing.

Dry brushing is an invigorating way to begin the day, as well as an effective evening ritual to brush away the day's accumulated stress, tension, and toxins.

Dry brushing supports skin renewal, stimulates the lymphatic system (which positively affects the nervous, immune, and digestive systems), aids in removal of accumulated toxins, and brightens the spirit, giving your body and mind a fresh glow.

As the name implies, it is practiced when the skin is dry, before bathing or applying oil or lotion. This promotes exfoliation, skin renewal and revitalization, and stimulation of the lymphatic and nervous systems beneath the skin. Before a bath or shower is a delightful time to include dry brushing in your daily routine.

How to Dry Brush

• Once you have your brush, or gloves, find a comfortable place in your bathroom, ideally before you bathe.
• The lymphatic system returns fluid and materials to the heart, so brushing in the direction of the heart supports lymphatic system detoxification.
• With firm, but not forceful, vigorous motions, begin at your feet and brush your way up your body.
• Use circular motions, particularly around your joints.
• On the long areas of your legs, you can stroke upwards.
• Brush vigorously around areas that need more stimulation, such as the backs of thighs or the buttocks.
• Brush in circles around the buttocks and abdominal areas to stimulate circulation, especially in areas that have scarring or cellulite.
• Be gentle and don't overbrush sensitive areas of the body.
• Brush up toward your heart along your sides, waist and chest.
• We have hundreds of lymph nodes under our arms and around the sides of our chest- brush vigorously there.
• Remember your back.
• End by making circular motions around your heart, cementing the intention of self-love along with health, healing and vitality.
