Dry brushing your skin? Yes, there are countless benefits, but we feel that there are still many doubts about this ritual. This is such an accessible and simple gesture that can help alleviate the feeling of tiredness and swelling after too many hours of standing, tone the skin and even prevent the appearance of cellulite .
Adding this small gesture to your routine will make all the difference!
WHY BRUSH YOUR BODY DRY?
If you are a practical woman, you will love this technique, because you will be detoxifying your body and exfoliating your skin at the same time. We don't always have time to get a massage and take care of our skin, so a tool that can do both is a jackpot!
In addition to all the benefits listed, it is also a great way to activate circulation, remove dead cells, detoxify the system and keep the skin soft and firm. You will be performing lymphatic drainage at home and unclogging your pores to facilitate the expulsion of toxins. As a bonus, the skin is really soft and ready to receive hydration.
HOW IT WORKS?
Our brushes are made of natural bristles that massage the body, activating blood flow and collagen production. These bristles, despite being soft, have the right hardness to remove dead skin at the same time. By repeating the movements “brushing” the body, you will also increase the firmness of the skin (even in the most “problematic” areas).
HOW TO USE?
Preferably, brush your body first thing in the morning, before taking a shower and ALWAYS with dry skin.
-
Always brush yourself with movements from the bottom up (from the extremities), towards the heart
-
Start this ritual starting with your feet and work your way up your legs and thighs, always in upward movements.
-
Then, massage the belly in circular movements, which will stimulate the digestive system, moving to the buttocks and back, in upward movements from the lower back to below the neck.
-
Next, brush your arms, from your hands to your shoulders. Don't forget the armpit area, a super important part of the lymphatic system.
-
Finally, slide the brush from the neck to the shoulders, on both sides, and then massage the chest.
Finish with a shower with our gel , at the end, rinse your body with cold water, to stimulate blood circulation, before hydrating it well . Apply Revitalize body oil to deeply hydrate and firm the skin.
Do this ritual once or twice a week and tell me the differences you feel!
Why does it work so well?
The skin receives one third of the body's total blood circulation . When the liver does not work properly and we have excess toxins in the blood, it is the skin that is responsible for expelling this excess. It is responsible for 25% of our natural detoxification capacity. The skin is also the first organ to signal imbalances and deficiencies. Therefore, it is very important that we take care of it, in addition to moisturizing the skin on our face and body when we remember.
There are lots of external benefits that you will automatically notice. Much softer skin, prevention of cellulite and sagging and fewer ingrown hairs are some of them. But the great power of dry brushing really lies in the benefits to the inside of your body.
When brushing your body, you stimulate the lymphatic system , which is responsible for removing toxins from the body. When congested, it accumulates toxins, making it more prone to developing inflammation. It also activates blood circulation and that's why I recommend it to all women who spend hours on their feet during the day! By regenerating skin cells and freeing pores, your largest organ is much freer to perform its protective functions.
The kidneys are also stimulated with this practice and it is extremely important that they are stimulated, as they work in the body's natural detoxification process. I've already told you here about how stress, lack of sleep and poor eating habits can overload the adrenal glands and how a balanced diet can help reverse this condition - and the power of superfoods to see improvements.
