Benefits of Body Brushing

Take care of your skin… Dry Body Brush

Body Brushing your skin is an ancient therapeutic practice. Including body brushing in your daily routine will exfoliate and tone your skin, slow the skin’s aging process, increase circulation and alleviate muscle tension. Body Brushing relieves your body of stress because it induces relaxation, stimulates blood circulation, and helps drain your lymphatic system carrying toxins from your body. Stimulating your skin activates natural healing pathways.

Just 5 minutes a day to Healthy Glowing Skin

Each morning before your bath or shower brush your body to a healthy glow. Start at your feet, brush the sole of your foot first, then brushing up your legs and thighs towards your groin with long strokes. Work in clockwise circular movements over your tummy, and then do your hands, arms, back and across your shoulders. Your skin may redden and start to tingle because you are increasing your circulation in areas of greatest fat concentration. How firmly you press depends on how toned your skin and body are. Go easy at first. As your skin becomes fitter and more toned you will be able to brush more vigorously.

Make sure you wash your brush once a month to remove the dead skin cells and impurities.
