Brush Your Skin, Take Care Of Your Entire Body

For this treatment we need a suitable brush made from natural materials. The intensity of the friction must be adjusted to the sensitivity of the skin, which requires a little trial and error

What is ordinary beauty care? From exfoliating, moisturizing cream and protecting your skin ; and mainly the facial skin, which is also exposed to most environmental factors, is cared for with these agents.

However, many people forget that the rest of the body also needs attention and care.

The skin is an organ that is closely physiological with many other organs and organ systems. Your health is therefore a sign of a healthy organism.

The structure of the skin is quite complex; it contains blood and lymph vessels, receptors for pain, temperature and movement, nerves, glands and much more. For example, through these structures it is in direct contact with the organs of the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system.

The close connection of the organ systems makes it possible for the body to react to external stimuli as a whole.

This makes the skin our switch to the environment. We understand that healthy skin is also important for keeping the body healthy, not just for fulfilling aesthetic expectations.

She protects everything under her and wants to be protected herself. Regular brushing of dry skin is therefore a very useful habit to promote our health.

This is a very valuable measure that not only enables dead cells and impurities to be removed, but also stimulates blood flow and thus the removal of metabolic end products and toxins.

We now present the benefits of brushing dry skin in detail and also explain how it can be done correctly so as not to damage the skin.

The lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is responsible for draining degradation products that accumulate in the tissue due to the biological activity of the cells.

The tissues of the body, including the skin, are traversed by the smallest lymph vessels, which, like blood vessels, come together to form larger vessels.

The largest lymph vessels flow into the bloodstream as lymphatic collecting trunks near the heart. This is where all the drained fluid is directed into the blood, with which it then also reaches the excretory organs.

Lymph congestion can therefore have dangerous consequences, especially for the tissue that is no longer drained.

So brushing dry skin is an excellent way to help detoxify the body. Blood circulation and lymphatic drainage are stimulated, which leads to a significant reduction in metabolic end products and toxins.

Like a peeling …

In general, while we recommend exfoliating with natural substances that provide nutrients and moisture at the same time, brushing dry skin also helps remove dead cells, dirt, and other stuck impurities.

Regular brushing improves the complexion, contributes to deep cleansing of the pores and allows the skin to breathe freely again and to regenerate.

Combating cellulite

Brushing is an effective remedy for cellulite, no matter in which region of the body it occurs. Hardened fat deposits, which are responsible for the cellulite-typical orange peel, are massaged softly.

The blood flow to the peripheral tissues is stimulated and pollutants that have accumulated here can be transported away. Incidentally, the same applies to fluid retention in the tissue.

Stress reduction and relaxation

Take the time to brush your skin. To do this, sit in a quiet, warm place and use the time and massage to relax.

The blood levels of the stress hormones drop during the massage, muscles and mind relax noticeably.

Improvement of digestion and kidney function

The massage of the lymph vessels and lymph nodes promotes the return of fluid and metabolic end products from the tissue into the cardiovascular system.

Here they are then available again for the liver and kidneys and can through the intestines or the urinary excreted be.

The whole organism benefits from this detoxification.

How is dry skin properly brushed?

First of all, it is very important to get a good quality drybrush. The bristles should preferably be made of natural materials and the handle should lie comfortably in the hand and allow massages, even where it is difficult to reach.

For best results, the skin needs to be brushed every day. However, people who suffer from dry skin should be a little more careful with this and brush only two to three times a week.

Start with the soles of your feet, then work your way up your legs. Brush in gentle, circular motions towards the heart. When you get to the stomach, it’s best to massage counterclockwise. The breasts should also be brushed, but not the nipples, which are too sensitive.

Brushing should not be too strong or too long ; the entire treatment should not last longer than ten minutes.

This simple technique allows us to do a lot for the health of our body within a short time and with little financial investment. Treat your skin to a few brush strokes as part of your daily beauty care routine.
