How and why brush your body dry?

Como e porquê escovar o corpo a seco? - MPL beauty

Dry brushing? Yes, there are numerous benefits, but we feel there are still many questions about this ritual. It's such an accessible and simple gesture that can help relieve tiredness and puffiness after too many hours on your feet, 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 dry body?

If you're a practical woman, you'll love this technique because it detoxifies your body and exfoliates your skin at the same time.
We don't always have time for a massage and skincare, so a tool that can do both is a godsend!

In addition to all the listed benefits, it's also a great way to activate circulation, remove dead cells, detoxify the system, and keep skin soft and firm. You'll be performing lymphatic drainage at home and unclogging pores to facilitate the expulsion of toxins. As a bonus, the skin becomes really soft and ready to receive hydration.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

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 firmness to remove dead skin at the same time. By repeating the "brushing" motions on your body, you will also be increasing skin firmness (even in the most "problem" areas).


How do I use it?

Ideally, brush your body first thing in the morning, before showering, and ALWAYS with dry skin.

  • Always brush your teeth with upward strokes (from the extremities), towards the heart.

  • Begin this ritual starting at your feet and move up your legs and thighs, always in upward motions.

  • Next, he massages the belly in circular motions, which will stimulate the digestive system, moving on to the buttocks and back, in upward movements from the lumbar region down to below the neck.

  • Next, brush your arms, from your hands to your shoulders. Don't forget the underarm area, a super important point for the lymphatic system.

  • Finally, slide the brush from your neck to your shoulders, on both sides, and then massage your chest area.

Finish with a shower using our gel , then rinse your body with cold water to stimulate blood circulation before moisturizing thoroughly . Apply Revitalize body oil to deeply hydrate and firm the skin.

Perform this ritual once or twice a week and tell me about 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 isn't functioning properly and we have excess toxins in the blood, it's the skin that's responsible for expelling this excess. It's responsible for 25% of our natural detoxification capacity. The skin is also the first organ to show signs of imbalances and deficiencies. Therefore, it's very important that we take care of it, in addition to moisturizing the skin of the face and body when we remember.

There are numerous external benefits that you'll notice automatically. Much softer skin, prevention of cellulite and sagging, and fewer ingrown hairs are just a few. But the real power of dry brushing lies in its benefits for your body's internal health.

By brushing your body, you stimulate the lymphatic system , responsible for removing toxins from the body. When congested, it accumulates toxins, making it more prone to inflammation. It also activates blood circulation, which is why I recommend it to all women who spend hours on their feet during the day! By regenerating skin cells and unclogging pores, your largest organ is much freer to perform its protective functions.

The kidneys are also stimulated by this practice, and it's extremely important that they are, as they work in the body's natural detoxification process. I've already talked 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.
