Dry Brushing
Dry skin brushing is not only one of the cheapest, most efficient forms of skin indulgence; it is also truly the most effective form of skin detoxification. Dry brushing takes about 5 minutes in total and won’t hinder your usual morning routine. Do this daily, at least once or even twice a day. Your skin should be dry, so the ideal time to dry brush is in the shower before you turn on the water. Don’t brush wet, hence dry skin brushing wink emoticon You can apply moisturizers and oils to your skin afterwards, as dry brushing does leave the skin more receptive to products later on. Numerous benefits come from dry brushing, not only does it banish cellulite and improve skin tone; it cleans the lymphatic system and strengths the immune system.
Here’s how to go about dry brushing; the act itself
1) Brush towards the heart, making long sweeps. Don’t scrub or make circular motions. Avoid a back and forth sweep.
2) Start at your feet, moving up the legs on both sides, then work from the arms toward your chest.
3) On your stomach, direct the brush counter clockwise.
We recommend a firm brush for the feet, legs, buttocks, and arms while opting for a lighter brush for the torso.
