How to dry brush
Best done pre-shower.
Ensure your skin is dry.
Remove your clothing.
Starting at your feet, brush in upward strokes toward your heart.
When you’ve brushed your lower body, move to your hands and work up your arms toward your heart, still using upward strokes.
Next, brush your back if you can reach.
Finally, work on your abdomen using a clockwise direction to follow the movement of the colon, chest and neck.
Brush for about three-to-five minutes until your skin is rosy and slightly tingly.
Always shower after you dry brush to wash off the dead skin.
Apply body cream.
Lymph nodes are situated at different places in the body and the inner thighs and armpits hold the greatest number, so it can be beneficial to pay extra attention to these areas when brushing. The lymph system flows towards the heart so it’s important to brush in the same flow as the lymphatic system.
