This is a friendly reminder about the importance of adding dry brushing to your daily routine, especially during the colder months when our skin can become dry and dull. It is such a simple new habit with so many incredible benefits. We leave our dry brush at the door of the shower to remind us to do it each day.
Why?
- Your skin is the largest organ in the body and the organ of elimination.
- 1/3 body’s toxins are excreted through the skin.
- Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, unclogging pores & excreting toxins trapped in the skin.
- Improves immune function by stimulating the circulation of white blood cells
- It leaves the skin with a healthy glow and can assist with reducing cellulite
- Calms your nervous system & reduces stress
How to dry brush
- Use a brush with natural fibres.
- Start at the feet and move in long sweeping motions towards to the heart (always brush towards the heart).
- Brush several times each area, overlapping as you go.
- Your skin will become less sensitive the more you do it.
- Once you have finished, have a shower or Epsom salt bath.
- Pat dry and moisturise, preferably with coconut oil.
- Can be done several times per week and can build up to once per day, before your shower or bath.
- Clean the brush with soap & water once per week.
