Dry Brushing: A Simple Lymphatic Boost
Dry brushing is a simple practice that involves brushing your dry skin with a natural-bristle brush, typically before a shower. It has two primary proposed benefits. First, it is an excellent mechanical exfoliant, helping to slough off dead skin cells and unclog pores, leaving the skin feeling smoother and looking brighter. Second, the light pressure and sweeping motions are thought to help stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a key part of your immune system and is responsible for clearing waste products from your tissues. By stimulating lymphatic flow, dry brushing may help to enhance the body's natural detoxification processes. Always brush in long strokes towards the heart.
