Dry brushing benefits are endless. As lovers of all things wellness, this tool has become a staple in our self-care routines. Dry brushing is a holistic approach to lymphatic drainage and activation that doubles as a secret weapon to healthy skin. To skeptics, the simplicity of dry brushing may seem too good to be true. However, the short and long-term perks of this ancient practice shouldn't be overlooked. We integrate it into our regimes with pride.
Regular dry brushing can help you achieve smooth, glowy skin and increase collagen production without the use of harsh exfoliants and chemicals. Natural, safe detoxing of the body is the focus here. When you dry brush, the pressure stimulates the lymphatic vessels under your skin, encouraging the flow of lymph fluid. This stimulation helps our bodies remove unwanted toxins and waste. Lymphatic drainage is a powerful concept- it can lead to clearer skin, improved energy levels and even boost our immune systems. When dry brushing at home, start at your feet and move upwards, brushing in a clockwise direction on your stomach. Gentle exfoliation is the goal. To follow the natural flow of lymphatic drainage, always brush towards your heart. <3
Pesky skin conditions like acne, keratosis pilaris and eczema that cause rough or bumpy skin can be treated by a regular dry brushing routine, often in conjunction with safe and natural exfoliating products. Dry brushing and tallow work together in perfect harmony to nourish skin. Thanks to its rich and ultra-moisturizing properties, tallow can be extra beneficial for those with dry or problematic skin. Pairing tallow with the soft bristles of a dry brush provides hydration and helps to improve texture- you will notice softer skin right away. We recommend dry brushing in the shower with a sugar scrub for deeper exfoliation on days your body needs some extra lovin.
Whether you’re indulging in an invigorating pre-shower moment, or embracing all that lymphatic circulation goodness, dry brushing will without a doubt elevate your wellness routine.
