Dry Brush/Body Brush

Beechwood and Natural Sisal Bristle Dry Brush.

Dry brushing is a type of Ayurvedic medicine that has been around for centuries. It’s believed to have many health benefits. Some of the benefits may include:

• stimulating the lymphatic system
• exfoliating the skin
• helping the body rid itself of toxins
• increasing circulation and energy
• exfoliation
• helping to break down cellulite

Dry brushing works by exfoliating the skin. Practitioners of dry brushing rub a brush with coarse, natural-fiber bristles over their bodies in a particular pattern.

The idea is that the coarse fibers will help to remove dead skin and improve the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins through the pores.

How To Brush:

1. Start at your feet and move up your body.
2. Brush your skin using wide, circular, clockwise motions.
3. Use light pressure in areas where your skin is thin and harder pressure on thicker skin, like the soles of your feet.
4. Brush your arms after you have brushed your feet, legs, and mid-section. You should brush upward towards your armpits.
5. After dry brushing, take a cool shower to help remove the dry skin.
6. After your shower, dry off and then consider adding natural plant oil, such as olive or coconut oil, to moisturize your skin.
