Dry skin brushing is a technique used in Ayurveda<\/a> as a cleansing method to get rid of dead skin cells<\/strong>, improve circulation<\/strong>, stimulate the lymphatic system<\/strong>, improve skin tone and texture<\/strong>, help release fatty deposits under the skin\u2019s surface<\/strong>, prevent premature aging<\/strong> and help assist in the eliminative capacity of the body\u2019s organs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The skin is the largest organ and it also happens to be an organ of elimination.<\/strong> It is estimated that one third of the body\u2019s daily impurities are excreted through the skin. Moreover, one third of the blood is circulated throughout the skin. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to include rituals in your routine like dry skin brushing to get rid of dead skin cells<\/strong> and also assist in eliminating toxins out of your body<\/strong> and get everything moving in a healthy way.<\/p>\n

By removing dead skin cells, you help the body cleanse itself better<\/strong>, as the skin pores aren\u2019t clogged and any unwanted toxins can be excreted. If you\u2019re skin is constantly blocked, the elimination aspect of the skin becomes inactive.<\/p>\n

Dry skin brushing not only removes dead skin cells and promotes healthy skin regeneration<\/strong>, by exfoliating the outer layer, it also stimulates the sweat and oil glands of the skin, which as a result, helps keep the skin moist, fresh, vibrant and smooth.<\/strong><\/p>\n
