What do the likes of Miranda Kerr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Molly Sims have in common (aside from the fact they obvs won the genetic lottery?) They're all passionate devotees of dry body brushing.

 

 

 

Never heard of it? Then you're missing out on one of the best kept beauty hacks around. Aside from the epic aesthetic benefits (namely, smoother, more supple skin), here are all the reasons you should add dry brushing to your beauty prep, stat: 

1. Exfoliation 

It's the very first benefit you'll notice (and arguably one of the best). By running a firm-bristled brush over the skin, it helps unclog any blocked pores and removes any dead cells that may be lingering.

2. Lymphatic Support

As many of our lymph vessels run just below the skin, dry brushing regularly helps to stimulate lymphatic flow and naturally detoxify the body.

3. Reduces Cellulite  

Dry brushing contributes towards healthier muscle tone and more even distribution of fat deposits (aka cellulite) by removing toxins that break down connective tissue.

4. Aids Detoxification

Just like your kidneys, liver and colon, your skin is an organ of elimination. By using a dry brush, you can help actively assist the cleansing process by encouraging the elimination of metabolic waste. 

5. Natural Energy Boost 

Dry brushing in long, fluid strokes stimulates the nervous system and promotes blood flow, resulting in a boost of energy. Because of this, it's recommended to you do it first thing in the morning.
