Dry body brushing is a simple and effective process that you can easily carry out by yourself in your home. The benefits of dry body brushing are numerous and the results are noticeable, soon everyone will be asking you what your new beauty secret is!
What is it?
Dry body brushing is exactly what it sounds like. All you will need to purchase is a brush with natural bristles and a long handle. This brush is then used to dry brush your skin in circular upwards motions. When brushing it is best to start at the bottom around your ankles and work your way upwards brushing your entire body as you go.
Dry body brushing will stimulate and improve circulation in your body, brush away dead skin cells, improve lymphatic drainage in the body and help your body to release toxins and get rid of waste. Lymphatic fluid flows through your body towards your heart which is why it’s always important to remember to brush your body in an upwards motion in the direction of your heart.
To get the best results from body brushing you should perform it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening for 10 to 15 minutes at a time.
What are the benefits?
If you routinely brush your body for 30 consecutive days then you will start to reap the rewards. Here are just a few of the benefits that you will enjoy if you practice regular dry body brushing.
- Softer, smoother skin – Body brushing helps to tighten skin, unclog pores and brush away dead skin cells in order to encourage new skin growth. The result will be shiny, healthy and glowing skin.
- Increases circulation and improves the immune system – Body brushing increases the circulation in the skin which in turn encourages and improves lymphatic drainage. Your lymphatic system keeps your immune system healthy by filtering out waste, destroying pathogens and keeping all the fluids in your body moving freely. When your circulation is increased and your lymphatic system is stimulated you’ll find yourself feeling overall healthier.
- Improves the appearance of cellulite – Cellulite is made from toxic material which has become trapped in your body’s fat cells. Gentle body brushing will help to break down and remove these toxins to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- Improves muscle tone – Brushing your skin helps to evenly distribute the fat deposits in your body to give your skin a more toned appearance.
- Improves your nervous system – Dry brushing rejuvenates your nervous system by stimulating the nerve endings in your skin.
