DRY BRUSHING - AM I LATE TO THIS PARTY?

OKAY YA'LL so lets talk about dry brushing. I think I'm definitely late to this party but better late than never right? It took me a while to succumb to this new trend but I'm glad that I did! I finally bought a dry brush amazon and it still took me a week before I started using it! 

Dry brushing is exactly what it sounds like. Taking a brush and brushing your skin! It directly reflects your lymphatic system and we all know that I feel passionately about the lymphatic system! Dry brushing is a great alternative to a lymphatic massage because that gets expensive real quick!

Dry brushing has been proven to:

• boost cell renewal
• stimulate circulation
• removes dead skin
• eliminate toxins

The way I like to dry brush is right before the shower. Before I jump in I grab my brush and get to work! You want to remember to always brush toward your heart because it's best for circulation and the lymphatic system. So this means from your toes to your thighs, or from your hands to your chest. If your asking yourself, doesn't dry brushing bare skin hurt?, well yes it does a little bit. Start doing it in short strokes until you get use to the feeling, but trust me if I can handle it anyone can considering my pain tolerance is about a zero! Not gonna lie, I've grown to love the feeling!

Another way of dry brushing is after the shower. When you get out of the shower take your favorite body oil, put a few drops on your brush, and do the same exact steps as I mentioned before. Which ever way you want to dry brush is fine, it's all about what works best for you! 

 Let me know if anyone dry brushes and which way you like to do it!
