Dry Brushing

It helps aid the detoxification process and more!

The skin is the largest organ of the body and we excrete toxins through the skin.  It is recommended to exfoliate our skin to help with the detoxifying process. One way to do that is dry brushing. Here are some tips & tricks to dry brushing.

Follow the simple steps:

1. Purchase a natural (not synthetic) bristle brush with a long handle so you can reach all areas of your body.

2. Begin brushing by starting at your feet and moving in long sweeping motions toward your heart (Always brush toward your heart).

3. Brush several times in each area, overlapping as you go.

4. Take care as you brush over more sensitive areas. Your skin will become less sensitive the more you dry brush.

5. Once you’ve brushed your entire body, jump in the shower. Alternate between the hottest water temperature you can tolerate and the coldest. This stimulates blood circulation, bringing more blood to the top layers of the skin.

7. After getting out of the shower, pat dry skin and apply a natural oil like coconut oil.

8. Continue to dry brush your entire body every day.  Remember to clean your brush with soap and water at least once a week.  Leave to dry.
