Body Brushing

Do you body brush?


This is an AMAZING technique that you can do at home, and doesn't break the bank balance!


You can purchase a body brush from any pharmacy or highstreet chemist. The effects of body brushing is stimulation of the circulatory system following into the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is the bodies removal of toxins that deposit in the body systems. Stimulating the system therefore speeds up this removal, and the improved circulation gives the skin a healthy glow! The skin also benefits from gentle exfoliation.


Begin by brushing upwards, starting with the legs. Brush in the direction of the heart and circulation. The routine should go as follows;

Legs, Arms, Stomach (go in the direction of digestion), Back (brush towards the spine to comfort Central Nervous System). Do not body brush the chest and decollete as this is fragile skin, which is over sensitised by external environment.


Follow the routine with a warm bath or shower, followed by your favourite body moisturiser. Bliss!!
