Here are some of the incredible benefits:

Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is comprised of a series of nodes throughout the body that are connected to one another by lymph vessels. The nodes contain immune cells that help fight infection within the body or keep harmful substances out. Dry brushing can help to stimulate the lymphatic system to help the body detoxify.

Exfoliation
Dry brushing with a natural bristle-brush helps to remove dead skin cells for softer, more vibrant skin.

Natural Energy Boost
Dry brushing is said to increase circulation, which in turn leads to a nice post-brush energy boost. Maybe not at night, though!
Also, when done properly, dry brushing feels great!

When shopping for a dry brush you want to look for a brush with natural fibers. Maybe ask in the beauty section at your favorite store if you are having a hard time locating one. Or you can always find one online by searching: ‘natural dry brush for skin’. Click this link to see my favorite that costs around $20>>.

Once you have yours, try this method to get the softest, smoothest skin:

• Start at the feet and brush in an upward motion, covering each section up your leg with 10 long, smooth strokes. To activate that lymphatic system, it is recommended that all strokes along the body be guided toward the heart or the center of the body.
• Repeat this process with the arms by starting at the hands and moving up toward the shoulders, brushing each section 10 times.
• For the torso and underarms, brush in a circular clockwise motion.
• For the face, a more delicate, face specific brush is required as the body brush will be too harsh.
• Once finished moisturize with your fave moisturizer. See my blog post on natural skin care .

Note: Brushing too hard can cause the skin to turn red or sting. Your strokes should be smooth and soft. It is uncomfortable, you are doing it too hard.
