‘Dry Body Brushing’ smoothes your skin and brushes away the cellulite!

Dry body brushing, or also known as dry skin brushing, was recommended by the Finnish Dr. Paavo Airola for his patients over 30 years ago and is still popular in European spas and many cancer treatment centres today. Dry brushing is recommended to prevent dry skin and the ideal way to exfoliate the skin, thus stimulating skin renewal that is super soft to the touch, but there are many other benefits, including:

1. Reduces cellulite appearance

2. Stimulates lymph flow and toxins removal from the body

3. Removes dead skin layers

4. Strengthens the immune system

5. Stabilizes hormonal and oil-producing glands

6. Tightens skin

7. Stimulates circulation

Most importantly, it is easy, inexpensive and invigorating!

What do you need to dry brush?

To dry brush, you’ll need a soft natural fibre brush, like jute fibre, which are soft and are suitable for use on sensitive skin. Most nylon and synthetic fibre brushes are too harsh and may damage our delicate skin.

• Dry brush your dry and naked body before you shower.

• Start from the bottom of your feet upwards, and from the hand towards the shoulder, and on the torso in an upward direction helps drain the lymph back to your heart. Give each section about 20 brushes.

• Use light pressures on areas where the skin is thin and delicate and firmer pressure onto areas like the soles of the feet.

• Perform skin brushing once a day, preferably first thing in the morning.

• For areas with visible cellulite appearance, you may gently dry brush for 5 minutes twice a day.

• Avoid brushing on areas where the skin is injured, such as skin rashes, wounds, cuts, acne and infections.

• Finish off with your regular shower and ending with 3 hot and cold cycles. This will further invigorate the skin and stimulate blood circulation, bring more blood to the outer layers of the skin, revealing a radiant skin.

Brush Maintenance

Clean your brush using natural soap and water once a week. After rinsing, dry your body brush in an open, airy space to prevent mildew.
