WHY DRY BRUSHING?

Dry brushing is a technique that gently supports your body's natural detoxification pathways, improves skin health, and feels amazing.

A great time to brush is right before you shower (do not brush once your skin is wet).

Find a brush with soft bristles and a handle to reach your back.

HOW TO DRY BRUSH

1. Begin at neck, work towards hands & feet, always brushing towards your heart.

2. Spend extra time brushing your neck, armpits, and groin—there are a lot of lymph nodes in these areas.

3. Brush your abdomen and lower back in a clockwise direction.
