Dry brushing

Dry brushing rids your skin of dead skin cells. This ensures that your skin can 'breathe' again and initiates cell renewal, making your skin radiant and wonderfully supple.

It loosens dirt and deeply cleanses your pores, resulting in super clean and soft skin.

Regular massage strengthens your skin. Bonus: because dry brushing also tackles subcutaneous fat deposits, it may even help reduce cellulite.

It works like a detox. Dry brushing stimulates blood circulation and the functioning of the lymphatic system, allowing your skin to eliminate toxins and waste products better and faster.

Just a few minutes of dry brushing provides a big energy boost. If you dry brush your body in the morning, you wake up your whole body, as it were.

It helps to start the day consciously and is therefore ideal as a permanent part of your morning ritual. Focus completely on dry brushing and the feeling of it on your skin – complete with scented candle and music, if you like. This way you turn dry brushing into a very mindful moment, almost like a meditation.

Due to the stimulating effect on blood circulation, it is recommended to get started in the morning, before your shower. To avoid dusty situations, brush your skin in the shower cabin so that you can immediately rinse away the dead skin cells afterwards. Start at the bottom with your feet and work your way up. This way you follow the natural circulation of fluid in your body and benefit optimally from the influence on your lymph nodes.

Always brush in the direction of your heart and use a soft hand: by scrubbing you damage your skin and promote dry, irritated and flaking skin.

Make sure that you pat your skin dry after your shower instead of rubbing it. Your skin can be extra sensitive after brushing. However, the redness it shows does not necessarily mean that your skin is irritated – this is simply the result of stimulated blood flow. Finish with a nourishing cream or oil of your choice: this is absorbed more quickly by freshly exfoliated skin.

By repeating this ritual twice a week, you will notice that your skin feels softer, brighter and firmer.
