BENEFITS OF DRY BRUSHING (and a diagram of the best direction to brush)
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.
