What is Dry Skin Brushing?
Have you ever heard of Dry Skin Brushing (SB)? I first discovered it 20 years ago when I became a massage therapist, and it has been a game-changer ever since. SB increases blood flow and circulation, helps remove toxins, and stimulates the lymphatic system. Since the lymphatic system is just beneath the skin’s surface, there’s no need to brush hard—the firm bristles naturally invigorate your skin, leaving it slightly red.
How & When to Dry Brush
I recommend dry brushing first thing in the morning on dry skin to awaken your body. Follow it up with a shower and moisturizer. If you shower in the evening, do SB in the morning and moisturize afterward. I personally use shea butter or organic coconut oil for hydration. You can find skin brushes at most health food stores.

Follow this sequence, always brushing toward the heart using small, circular movements:
- Start at the heart, then brush the right side of the upper body.

- Continue down the upper and lower back.
- Return to the shoulders and brush down the arms to the hands (both sides).
