Did you know: dry brush your body every morning not only helps you wake up and makes you feel good but also help with your lymphatic system? The lymphatic system has several poles in our body. It is mainly helping with water flow or retention. If you have this bumpy skin around your hips or legs due to water retention this can be your saviour.
What brush to use?
Several versions of body brushes exist and the choice depends on your preference. Here are some of the most well known:
- The round body brush from The Body shop: we love its design and its vegan bristles. It is strong and will last you for a while. Also, we love its price as it is only £9. A steal!
- The body brush from skin gym: made out of cactus sisal bristles it will help stimulate and exfoliate your skin.
- Rosena dry body brush: our favourite. It has massage head in it which not only will help with the lymphatic massage it also releases muscle tension and makes you feel like you treat yourself. We also love its price: £10.99.
