Dry Brushing is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that helps to renew the skin and stimulate the lymphatic system, while encouraging the body to rid of toxins.

The combination of exfoliating, massaging, and rejuvenating the top layer of your skin with a dry brush will help increase circulation, boost lymphatic drainage, all while sloughing dead skin cells and helping to make your skin look more radiant.

Step 1: Apply body oil (optional)

Step 2: Start at your feet and brush upwards towards the heart. The chest area is where the lymph system drains so be sure to brush gently here and try to avoid other sensitive areas of the skin such as your face and neck.

Step 3: When you start on your arms, begin at the hands and work upward. Use firm, small upward strokes or work in a circular motion. For the stomach, work in a clockwise pattern to mimic the direction of digestion. Harsh exfoliation is never the point; be sure not to press too hard.

Step 4: Dedicate at least three to five minutes to brushing, adding time as your skin adapts if you'd like. Showering after dry brushing will help to rinse away dead skin cells and impurities, while also allowing your pores to release toxins.

Repeat the process 2-3 times each week and your skin will be glowing!
