Why You Should Dry Brush With Essential Oils
A secret of the beauty world, dry brushing has a range of benefits. Not only can it help you detox your lymphatic system, it can unclog your pores as it exfoliates. The appearance of cellulite can also be smoothed out with dry brushing. It is typically recommended in the morning right before you shower. Dry brushing can be somewhat energizing too which can help you jumpstart your day.
Most experts recommend to start dry brushing at your feet and move in a circular motion towards your heart. It’s important to use a natural bristle brush to prevent synthetics from irritating your skin. To make the most of your dry brushing experience, add essential oils or one of our many beautifying Synergy Blends. Use a carrier oil to properly dilute and apply it directly to the brush.

I found this blog extremely informative and useful. I suffer with an autoimmune disease that causes all lymph glands in my body to swell-have tried the dry brushing-but always felt rather dry and scratchy afterwards, theses ideas are very help and can’t wait to start using the tips. Thank you for this post-Laura
