Skin brushing is very stimulating, easy, and a cheap investment of time and money. It isn’t meant to be a medical treatment and rather a therapeutic experience that you can follow every day. It is usually agreed that the habit is safe and at worst ineffective. Read on to find out what dry brushing is all about and just how beneficial it can be your entire body and health.
Why To Dry Brush Your SkinA classic treatment in spas, dry brushing is a good way to rejuvenate your body by brushing all over your skin in a particular pattern. Done usually before showering, dry brushing helps your body in many ways from skincare to health care.
* Softer SkinDry brushing helps soften your skin. A firm bristled brush helps to loosen and discard dead skin cells by exfoliating your skin and clearing out your pores. It also effectively removes out oils, dirt, residue from smaller pores. Use a softer brush on your face to clear out your pores.
* Lymphatic Dispatch Lymphatic nerves are an important part of your body’s immune system which is made of your lymph nodes, ducts and blood vessels that run throughout your body. Brushing your body helps stimulate these lymphatic nerves to act and dispatch blood around your body.
* Reduces CelluliteNot really scientifically proven yet, but it is said that dry brushing actually helps reduce cellulite and acts as a natural energy booster. It could be because the brushing helps increase blood flow and make you feel more awake.
