The Benefits of Dry Brushing

The Benefits of Dry Brushing

The Benefits of Dry Brushing

By Solange Vasquez, Dr Hauschka Esthetician

Our skin is our largest organ. When we are healthy, it’s the vehicle through which environmental pollutants and toxins are eliminated from the body. When we aren’t, pores become clogged and the toxins stay inside, where it can build up and cause many issues.

Benefits of dry brushing:

  • It improves the body’s ability to detoxify by clearing away dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Increases blood flow and circulation
  • Reduces the appearance of cellulite
  • Reduces stress
  • Supports the immune system
  • Increases muscle tone
  • Rejuvenates your cells.
  • Reduces ingrown hairs
  • Improves moisture (your moisturizer will sink in better)

Tips:

  • Make sure to purchase a natural bristled brush. Avoid synthetic ones because they can damage your skin. It’s best to dry brush first thing in the morning before you shower.
  • Always brush towards the heart, this way you’re helping your lymphatic vessels move the lymph towards drainage area.
  • Brush 7-10 times over each section
  • Always brush in long strokes, never back and forth.
  • Don’t wet your brush or your body
  • Dry skin brushing should be done daily for best results, or even twice a day if you like.
