Skin Brushing For Detox

DID YOU KNOW DETOXING IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT DURING MENOPAUSE? 

.

I do this every single morning before I get in the shower !

The lymph system needs a little extra nudge to get things moving since it doesn’t have a pump system like you cardiac system does – especially when you hit menopause. I use dry skin brushing to move the lymph around!

There’s not just one way to do dry brushing but there is an optimal way which doesn’t involve randomly scrubbing a brush all over your body.

Here are the steps I take to get the best results:

  • First make sure your skin is completely dry. And use a natural bristle brush. (like the one in the photo)
  • Starting at your wrist, moving your brush over your skin with quick brush strokes that go in the direction of your heart.
  • Maintain a light pressure as you dry brush.
  • Repeat on the other arm and move across the chest.
  • Move on to your belly and move in clockwise circles about 5 times
  • Lastly, start at you right ankle and move with short brush strokes up the shin and calf, then on to your gluts and hips.

 

You can dry-brush at any time of day, but I recommend doing it right before you shower.

 

After you rinse off, moisturize with and organic oil or lotion to keep toxins away

TIP TO REMEMBER:  It’s quick, light and short strokes on your legs and arms towards your body in the direction of your heart
