- Exfoliation of the Skin: By using the fiber brush along your skin in circular motions, it is working to scrape off any dead skin cells that are left on your skin after shedding, leaving you with smoother, silkier skin.
- Cellulite Reduction: Although there are no scientific studies to show that dry brushing and massage can get rid of cellulite, a study found that massage can temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite due to the plumping effect of dry brushing.
- Lymphatic System Drainage: The lymphatic system works hard to rid our bodies of toxins. Apollo Health states that since the lymphatic system is activated with touch or motion; with the assistance of dry brushing, pores become open and drainage can begin.
- Improved Circulation: The Cleveland Clinic found that using wide and circular clockwise motions with your dry brush, the bristles begin to improve circulation from the stimulation.
- Nutrient Absorption: According to the NHS, we should be able to absorb all the vitamin D our body needs through sunlight on our skin all of March-September. Oregon State University states that UVB rays stimulate the production of Vitamin D3 on your skin, and since dry brushing gets rid of all your unneeded dead skin cells, it allows for nutrients to get absorbed easily without any blockages (just make sure you’re wearing your sunscreen!)
