Health Tip: Dry Brushing Your Skin

Your skin is the largest and most exposed organ of your body, so treat it right! Dry brushing your skin has major health and beauty benefits. It reduces the appearance of cellulite and exfoliates your skin. In the winter especially, when many people have dry skin, dry brushing allows your skin to absorb moisture from lotions and oils. Dry brushing also moves toxins through your blood stream as a lymph cleanse. By cleansing your pores of dead skin, toxins can more easily escape.




How to dry brush your skin:

Use a brush with natural bristles. Starting at your feet and working your way up your body, brush slowly in the direction of your heart. When you get to your waist, brush your hands and arms. Keep brushing up your belly and back, avoiding the breast area.
