Detox 101: Dry Brushing

As the name suggest, dry brushing means brushing on dry skin. Dry brushing is a cheap, simple and natural way to detox. By brushing the skin, which is your body's largest organ, it stimulates your lymphatic system, which helps in detoxification. Dry brushing also helps to boost circulation and exfoliates your skin. With some much benefits, and low investment (you just need to buy the brush), what are you waiting for (as most Singaporeans say, "cheap and good, mai tu liao!")

What you need: a natural bristle brush, preferably with a long handle so you can easily reach all parts of your body

3 Simple Ways to Start Dry Brushing (this is usually done before you bath)

1. get naked,
2. begin brushing, starting from your feet, in long sweeping motions upwards (towards your heart). brush several times in each area. follow the image below for direction of each brush
3. after you've brushed your whole body, you can start showering. that's it! and repeat everyday!

note: when you first start dry brushing, you may feel awkward or uncomfortable, especially when you're brushing over sensitive areas like inner thighs or chest. don't worry, once you get used to it, it will get better. and soon, you'll be hooked! :)
