Dry Brush | Php119.75
Some of you would probably ask why we need to dry brush when we can all just hop in the shower and scrub with our handy loofah and body wash which saves us even more time. Hmm... yeah, I was in the same spot a year ago reasoning if I should. After that, I pushed this thought aside, and had forgotten all about it! Yup, just like that. Why bother, right? I was dead wrong. Think of it as this way: it gives you and our skin a nice treat and breather for 5minutes. Hands down!!!
Like out of nowhere, I stumbled to one video on Youtube about dry skin brushing. Something just clicked in me; I knew I had to purchase my own dry brush after all that reasoning. The benefits astounds me. The concept itself is easy. Anyone can do it!
Here are the benefits of dry skin brushing:
1. Exfoliates. Our skin sheds dead skin cells everyday... even right now as we speak. We want to help our skin shed a little faster, cell renewal and give our pores a breather. It prepares our skin absorb the products we are going to apply on our skin... just like what we do on our face. Without regular exfoliating, the dead skin cells will pack itself and cause flakiness and dryness. Dry brushing will reveal soft and smoother skin. It also prevents ingrown hairs.
2. Removes cellulite. This is huge for us women. It is found on our hips and thighs giving it an orange and dimply look. The dry brush helps the underlying fat smooooth out. I don't have cellulite... yet, but it is better to prevent them than cure.
3. Cleanses the Lymphatic System. Stimulating our lymphatic system helps remove the toxins in our body.
4. Tones the muscles. This stimulates our nerve endings making every muscle fibers to activate and move. Helps in the distribution of our fat deposits.
5. Energizing! You will feel the circulation of blood flow immediately. It also encourages body's discharge of metabolic wastes.
6. Stimulates Nervous System. The bristles of the dry brush will stimulate the nerve endings of your skin. It feels a little ticklish and it feels good.
Sounds good? Here's how to dry skin brushing.
1. Purchase a softer natural dry brush with a handle preferably to reach all areas of your body. Find something that feels good to your skin.

2. Use your dry brush with your dry and naked body before taking a shower to remove impurities.
3. Brush starting from the soles of your feet (circular motion); brush up to your legs; circular counter-clockwise on the abdomen; upward strokes on your back and down the neck; and from the hands towards the shoulders, working your way toward the heart in long, gentle but firm strokes. The Lymphatic fluid flows through the body towards the heart. Very important to brush in the same direction.
4. Use light pressure. Do not brush your skin too hard.

5. Skin brushing is preferred once a day in the morning. It only takes 5 minutes of your time and the results are amazing!
6. Avoid sensitive areas and broken skin such as rash, cuts and infections. And be cautious on your skin around the breast.
7. Increase blood circulation by alternating temperatures from hot to cold as you take shower.
8. After getting out of the shower, massage your skin with coconut oil, cocoa butter, avocado oil, almond oil, or any natural lotion you may have.
9. Clean your dry brush once a week with soap and water under the sun to prevent mildew.
You'll get the hang of it over time. Do this every single day and the results are rewarding -- internally and externally. Follow it with exercise and proper diet for a healthy body.
