Why:
- Its a great way to exfoliate without using Scrubs: Scrubs with Micro-beads have been banned for good, body scrubs have turned to other exfoliants to slough away dead skin. Dry Brushing has taken over
- It will help tone up without breaking a sweat. Dry bushing won’t totally eliminate cellulite also knows as ”orange peel”, but it will mobilize and contribute to the even distribution of fat deposits under the skin – and if you stick with it, its proven to give your limbs a much more cinched and firmer, look and feel.
- It can boost your immune system. Toxins and bacteria and waste from our blood filters go thru our Lymph nodes where they re destroyed. Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, and helps with removing the pathogens.
How:
Start at your feet, and work your way up your legs. Always brush toward your heart to work with your circulation and your lymphatic system. Use upward strokes as you move up your body to your arms, heart, and back and brush your stomach and chest using clockwise sweeps. Adjust the pressure of the brush so it is comfortable yet stimulating. The easiest time to brush is right before you hop into the shower! Morning is best. You will see a rosy glow when you are done.
Benefits:
Great Stress reducer- Spending a little extra time taking care of yourself can be a form of meditation and a get way of starting the day on a calm & soothing note. Lymphatic Stimulant – as discussed before, helps remove toxins in your system. Cellulite reducer – who doesn’t want to keep the orange peel look at bay!
The best brush
- Buy a firm natural-bristle brush. Does not need to be expensive
- Make sure you can get a good grip on the brush
- I like the ones that fit in the palm of my hand, better control, but everyone is different.
