Dry brushing is awesome! As a lymphatic therapist, it is a great way to keep the lymph system draining properly. It is best to start with circles towards the heart and then long strokes towards the heart. It helps to focus on the main drains, ie… both sides of the base of the neck, just above the collarbone, the arm pits, the top of the thighs at the groin, back of the knees, inside of the elbows. I think one of the best dry brushing demo videos is by Green Smoothie Girl Dr Brushing on UA-cam.
I've never done this and I want to try this what brush should I use
How often? I’ve read no more than twice a week and I’ve read it’s good to do it every day. What do you recommend?
Lymphatic therapist? So no medical accreditation
@@tombullard123 lymphatic therapists actually have to have finished a training program in decongestive therapy, and most of them have a bachelors in nursing or physical therapy!
Does it really help thigh cellulite?
I honestly think it’s my secret forever young weapon!
Ok- if it feels weird. You can go faster OR the bristles might be too soft or long. Sounds crazy-I know. Different materials/boar hair V synthetic to horse hair!
It’s a really quick motion- Using it on my feet- helps to keep the dry toes/heels in check.
Working your way up. Front back but toward the heart even at the top- rotate toward heart. UNDER arms - This is GOLDEN to keep the flappy arm away lol.
I am a Holistic Practitioner with 18 years of Western med knowledge.
The skin is the largest organ right? So when we Dry brush- toward the heart ♥️ We are increasing circulation (This is why night isn’t ideal). Also- we have thousands of lymph nodes- head to toe. Dry brushing gives them the push they need (especially if we aren’t drinking enough water 💧).
It shouldn’t take more than 2 Minutes head to toe-pre shower & after shower- I recommend a Dry oil- Almond, Jojoba and top it with a favorite lotion- No alcohol lotion.
This makes you shine- I promise! Give it a solid weak or two, get used to speed and stroke lengths. The dollar-stores as my Favorite brush oddly enough!
Good luck & yes- your legs actually can look as great as her’s do! Nice job 👍🏼
I r r Tree is a way
I dried brushed in my leg and I broke our in acne regret it so bad
@@missbee5021 maybe your brush was dirty beforehand or you rub too much maybe?
Thank you so much for these tips!
What material would you recommend for the bristles?
And how to use the dry oils please?
Brush toward your lymph nodes, you can google where they are. Start by brushing the soles of the feet. Brush towards your heart always, which means downwards in the neck area or you might feel light headed.
Dry brushing is good for exfoliating, but it’s primarily done to stimulate the lymph system... it is the only system that does not circulate on its own, but needs stimulation via brisk walking and/or dry brushing and/or vibrating plates, etc... any nausea or feeling sick is more than likely a result of back up of lymph fluids and toxins being released... start off gentle and every other day for 2 weeks or so, then progress from there...
hii ! should i dry brush 2 times a day ? and for how long should i dry brush ?
@@selintezcanmusic it really depends on where you cellular health is and what you are trying to accomplish... honestly, if you are new to dry brushing, I personally would start slow...
1/day, 2-3x per week until you feel good and invigorated. Then increase from there paying attention to your body’s response.
The human body is amazing and it takes very little effort on our end to keep it in top form.
Balance is key, and it is also kind to your body systems... to overdo it can tax your filtering organs (kidneys, liver, skin) and can create an inflammatory response to the rest of the body...
@@creativebebe oh thank u so much ! i heard that people dry brush everyday for 10 minutes so i thought i should do it like that
So a brisk walk have the same lymph system benefits ?
@@xnoelle25 similar, but not the same… I say do both! 😉💕
Thank you for this! I tried this not knowing those benefits but felt like it immediately improved my mood!
I actually looove the way it feels.. it wakes me up, like a jolt of strong coffee, or a good slap in the face, lol! I find it invigorating.
“A good slap in the face”!! Hahaha 😄
Yay! Right on!!!!! I stopped dry brushing. Your video motivated me add it back to my self care.
i did dry brushing just very new last month.. it recharged me and I love to scrub after... thanks for showing cleaning tips! I'm watching this exactly 1 yr after posted
Wow, your legs are just wow!
I have just obtained a dry brush, and looked up your video again for how to use it. After 30 days, your legs looked silky smooth and just perfection. I will try it for 30 days too. Thank you so much for the tuition 💕
Wow I just started yesterday and this gets me super excited! I’ve been using this on some small stretch marks and the results are really impressive. I went in with doubts, but stuck to it and am glad I did!
Hello, did dry brushing help with the strecth marks?I have lots of them and need something to smooth them out. Please let me know
@@Anna-dd4wy dry brushing will help with stretch marks & cellulite
You sound really happy about sticking to it, since yesterday?
Small steps I guess..
How’s it going 7 months later?
Thank you! I brought a brush a while ago and never used it. I am glad to have watched your video because I want to start and wanted to see how it worked for other people who have already done it. You look great and have such a beautiful personality. Thanks for sharing.
Make sure to do the neck and face. It will keep the skin smooth and really nice. My grandmother is 104 and they both look ridiculously good and pretty damn tight. Good diet, very little processed food/sugar and then dry brushing is the real cherry on top I think. *AND moisture. Lots and lots of moisture. People claim drink all this water blah blah blah but applying moisture on the outside is incredibly important. You’re gonna expel a lot of that water out so be consistent with moisture application.
I got a dry brush with a cleansing brush for Christmas and I was afraid to use it at first because Ive always hated doing anything on dry skin other than mouisturizing it. I dont have a lot of cellulite so idk if it is helping in that reguard but I have noticed how much softer and smoother my skin is now. I have also noticed a lot of discoloration I had on my legs is gone and its easier to shave them now.
regard
GOD loves you all. GOD bless you all. Have a blessed day everyone.!!!!
Amen 🙏 🙏💖💖
Absolutely, thanks for sharing that reminder with all of us. For God so loved the world that he sent his only son, not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
God bless you ❤️🙏🙌✝️💗
God loves you too sweet sister! God has called you by name and given you faith in Jesus Christ so that you can be saved. Hallelujah! You are fearfully and wonderfully made and chosen to receive the inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom!
..... okay lol 😅
I’m still getting to understand dry brushing. However, I do use this type of brush to shower. Since I have two young kids, I have to utilize my time wisely. Therefore using it in the shower helps me save on time. Thanks for the tutorial. It was helpful.
Using it in the shower is best anyway because the dead skin can just be washed away
@@youcannotspeaktomeanyhow oh goof thats how i like to do it
Love this! I am starting my dry brush journey today. ✨
Your legs look a loooot better. I'm definitely going to try this and recommend it ♥️♥️♥️
Way to go to be so consistent. It was hard to see the results because your legs looked great before and after but I believe in its benefits, seems invigorating. I got the dry brush and you inspired me to be consistent with it.
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS PREVENTING OF INGROWN HAIRS:
1. THOU SHALT NOT USE DIRTY BLADES!
Using a blade that's been used way too many times. Yes, this one may be obvious, but be sure to keep your used tools as clean as possible. Soap and rubbing alcohol will destroy bacteria.
2. HONOR THY DELICATE SKIN!
Too many blades! If you are prone to ingrown hairs then you don’t need 3 or more blades.
3. DO NOT TAKE PREP TIME IN VAIN!
You should be using a warm/hot water prep (5 mins). Then leave the shaving creme on for more than 3 minutes to really soften the hair. The hair stubble should literally fall away with little or no pressure at all. Pressing hard is the problem! Be gentle ya'll.
4. THOU SHALT NOT GO AGAINST THE GRAIN!
Shaving against the grain. Shave in the direction of hair growth (usually down, but perform a face map to be sure).
5. THOU SHALT NOT PRESS!
Pressing too hard on the skin with the blade. A gliding, light touch is all you need. This is likely your biggest issue.
6. THOU SHALT NOT PASS!
Too many quick passes with the blade. One pass per hairy area - going 1-2 inches downward at a time - will prevent ingrown hairs. Always shave like you might cause damage, not like your mowing the front yard lawn.
7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT OVER SHAVING!
Shaving too many times. This rule is hard to follow especially if you have to shave for your career but if you are prone to ingrowns, try shaving with an electric clipper. The results are not super close but no one but you will know the difference. Ladies, try waxing.
8. THOU SHALT NOT CLOG!
Use of skin/pore clogging cremes or lotions. These keep hairs from growing up. After a shave, keep your skin bare; let the tiny army breath, and allow those newly shaved, really small, microscopic hairs to grow out just in time for the next shave.
9. KEEP THE SKIN FREE!
Avoid tight fitting clothing around the Adam’s apple (neck) and/or below the waistline region.
10. REMEMBER TO EXFOLIATE!
Not enough exfoliation to remove excess layers of skin. Use a skin care brush for razor bumps as directed. Brushes also tease the hairs away from entering the skin. Try a WIZKER brush today!
I don't shave anymore 😘 but yes I agree with these commandments
✨👌✨
I've been shaving my legs for years and never knew most of this lol....thanks 😉
@@coutureleotards you're wellcome!
@@ebonimajek9001 Me too! Had no idea how bad shaving was, especially the armpits! I was always so irritated despite varying deodorants (use salt crystal now). No more irritation and surprisingly no bad odor! I had more odor when I was shaving (disrupting the bacteria and ph balance in the armpits). The under arm hair serves as a barrier between skin and clothing. I also had no idea that lymph nodes are located in the arm pit area. Another surprise is that my husband doesn't seem put off by my underarm hair! I certainly don't flaunt my underarm hair (rarely wear tank tops or sleeveless tops without a top over the tank & still a little self conscious in swimsuit). Makes me wonder what else we are altering unnecessarily to our bodies that only irritates us.
WOW! Great results! and info :)
I was thinking that feeling sick while brushing might be due to heavy detox? Just a thought...
It totally enhanced your legs !
I have a dry brush. When I started to do it, I definitely was using too much pressure. So, I stopped. I’m going to start again every other day. Thanks for sharing!
Whats interesting is I cannot dry brush at night it keeps me up all night. I can only dry brush in the morning before my shower.
I guess it over stimulates your nervous system so it takes a while for your body to balance itself out. That's interesting
I agree, dry brushing boosts my energy and I cannot do it at night
Maria Williams girl i fooled around and made that mistake I was up all night. Never again.
Omg me rn lol
GOD loves you all. GOD bless you all. Have a blessed day everyone.!!!!
Great video! My dry brush is on the way and arrives tomorrow. I wanted to watch how to use it before it gets here and this video came up first in my search. Im eager to try it and thankful to be told it can cause nausea because I haven’t heard of that as a side effect before. It makes sense with the lymph drainage. Thank you for doing a video on this! I’m so eager to try it after watching.
Hey y’all, I literally had never heard of “dry” brushing until yesterday during a visit to the spa. The therapist did it and explained it to me during a body wrap. It felt great! She recommended circular long strokes upwards towards the heart. And she highly recommended “Cera Vee” which is OTC. So I purchased a skin brush and will definitely try and do this daily. I’ll do anything to decrease cellulite. Yuck! Happy brushing!
The back of my legs are smoother after dry brushing and taking electrolytes that gives me a lot of my potassium. The electrolytes taste really bad but I take 2 capfuls morning and night and it gives me 40 percent of my potassium which is crazy. I've read cellulite when you're not overweight is mostly water retention, lymphatic blockage.
Second day using the brush and I already feel the difference, my skin is softer
Im so glad ! ☺️
I have lost a stone by doing dry brushing and manual Lymphatic drainage every day. Some days I do it twice. The weight just fell off 🤗🤗
Very curious what other manual techniques you do aside from dry brushing? :)
Please share the manual lymph drainage everyday please..
Took me a minute to figure out you were taking about body weight lol
What has made a tremendous improvement for me is dry brushing with body oil on my skin, then following up with lotion or cream. I do this after taking a bath or shower.
Same
do you do this everyday
@@sabrinagoddess_, yes, I do.
Dry brush With body oil?? I thought dry brush is dry. Thx for ur hints i will try
dry brushing with oil tho isnt dry brushing? it’s supposed to be dry lol. if you put it on after that’s fine but before… it’s not dry brushingn
You’re hair is beautiful, it almost looks like it glows.
Your*
@@dance4technolife 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's a ring light!
Almost? 😂
Almost 🤦♀️🤣
I've never seen someone dry brush in long straight strokes. Usually you do it in long oval shape movements towards the heart.
Maybe she got confused with gua sha which has long strokes.
I was told by a naturopath do do long strokes towards the heart to help with lymphatic drainage.
This video popped up and I had to watch! I had a baby brush and I use to dry brush my baby just to give her comfort. Not that she needed it she didn't have any sensitivity issues or anything but she was in heaven. The brush was super soft, I was gifted a really good one. I never thought to dry brush myself 🤔😆. I use lotion so I'm guessing it would be a good and gentle way to get dry skin and exfoliate the very top of the skin.
Wow! Thanks for sharing your results! I'm encouraged to give it some time.
I keep reading and hearing so much about Drybrushing, and I'm always seeing a really nice dry brush in Walmart--so, the next time I go--I'll put it in my cart, and buy it!😄
and then-- I'll begin using it
We have the same brush🥰 anyway you’re so pretty 🤩
I dry brush off and on but this proves to me that I need to do it more regularly
Omg I LOVE dry brushing so so much! Well done you! Amazing results. Loved your vid. I NEVER thought I could manage to naturally cure my eczema but I have documented my journey on my channel x
where did you buy yours from?
My daughter has eczema bad. Can you give me some tips on what you did? Thank you
@@Tiffany-zi3cq watch her channel!
Great results 👍. You have beautiful legs before but they really look healthy and glowing!
Finally I got one today and I just started using it .
Did it work for u
How’s it going? Do you notice a difference?
Been meaning to do this for ages
That's what I always ask for my Guest on the ship after I give them therapeutic massage... Dry body brush will help a lot of body concern...
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
thanks for sharing! about how many minutes of brushing? also, the reviews of the bum bum cream says a lot of people got those results just using that , so I'd be curious if it comes back when you stop using it.
psychologically you might be affected by what it’s actually doing when you are dry brushing which is to moving your lymphatic which is basically the sewage of your body so it might not of been comfortable for that reason
You’re actually getting health benefits from doing it even though you’re after the cosmetic ones both of those are connected it’s kind of like what you digest is what you are not so much what you eat because most people don’t even have a very well functioning digestive system and that’s because they’ve eaten so much trash for so long even their palate has become desensitized and when you try to go back to eating healthier things they might not taste appealing so it would be the same I would imagine with the dry brushing
I did it for a long time when I actually lived in a house now I live in my car so it’s a little bit more challenging to find opportunities to do this type of self-care
It made a huge difference in my life and I’m 53 most people don’t know that by looking at me but it’s been a combination Of taking good care of myself in every possible way
What other things do you do to take care of your health?
I hope you have place of your own and warm meals. Love and prayers.
That’s so weird because I also felt nauseous my first time. Definitely going to continue for the legs. Thanks for the info
I really appreciate this informative video to watch, and as I have just began dry brushing my legs on the back of your excellent results, I would please like to check with you, what the sequence is that you apply the oil and lotion, whether directly after dry brushing, whether you use the oil and lotion separately or one directly after the other?
I would also please like to check your leg hair removal method, as mine, epilating, can undo all the good work of caring for the skin on my legs. I am trying so hard to find a method that may work, and am close to going down the laser hair removal route.
Thank you for your video and advice xxx
I put mine in the dishwasher. I have the eco ones also.
that is so smart !! thank you for the comment 😊
I just ordered one today. 🤞
How long do you use the tool everyday?
Thanks so much for this detailed in depth info video! 🙏🏼 it really does work.
Working as beauty therapist for some of the spa treatments we would start off with dry body brushing. blessings ✨
Thank you for this video. It’s definitely given me great info and inspiration
omg i have that exact same brush but hardly ever use it, starting right now! great results
I started fishing offer this summer, like 5 days a week sometimes. It’s hot! Pants are a no go when fishing. But then there are mosquitoes that bit, no matter how much repellent I put on. And those have left brown marks all over. So today, we start dry brushing. I’ll keep ya posted :-)
Yes giirl what’s the update
Your legs look amazing! The back of my legs look like yours on day 1. I'm definitely buying a brush!
It’s been a few days for me. Don’t see any results, but I do like how my skin feels after:) Will add the moisturizer after. Thanks for the tips:)
I use aqueous cream and coconut oil on top. I have really dry skin and this seemed to work great for me
Olá, i will see the video right away! Bought my brush, saw some other videos. Big question can I brush everyday legs and glutes? Thank you
I got mine! Thank you 😍 im so excited! 😍
You’ve convinced me! Thanks for sharing!
Does this help with like strawberry legs and the little ingrowns? My legs are really pale so the strawberry dots looks so red and I get little harmless ingrowns but they’re really annoying
it helps with exfoliating and circulation which really help with ingrowns ! i’m not sure about strawberry legs! i’m sorry !
Beautiful Brwn Baby Doll has a video on strawberry skin.xx
Idk about ingrown hairs, but it does help strawberry dots! There are videos on UA-cam about drying brushing strawberry dots
Thanks for this! I stopped dry brushing. Getting back to it today!
Incorporating this into my skin care routine, thanks for sharing !💛
Love those pink nike shorts btw 😆 Where did you find those?
Thank you !! I got them from Dicks Sporting goods!
Thank you lauren i gotta try it and you are beautiful 😘❤️❤️
FYI, you do NOT need to wash your dry bush once a week. The oils and organisms that the dry brush collect are GOOD for your PH balance of the skin. As long as you are not leaving your brush in a dark, moist area you should be fine. Allowing it to sit out near natural light will do. Washing once a month or once every 2 months will do no harm.
omg i have the exact same texture on my legs as your before clip. i'm literally going to order a dry brush right now...thanks for the video!
so glad you came across this video !
Did you see results?
Amazing ur radiant!
I bought this about a year ago, use it daily and love it.
Wonderful results 👏🏽 👏🏽
I've never heard of RH is technique. Thanks for sharing it!
Big improvement! Beautiful Thanks!
Are we supposed to do dry brushing everyday day ?
Are we supposed to shower after dry brushing?
How often do you brush? Daily? Weekly?
I've heard it's good to dry brush before the shower too
Followed by moisturiser ofc ☺️🚿
I just bought one today. Great video
Lovely results Lauren!
How long did you have to do it for when you'd do it?
Hello ...new subscriber here!!!! I ask if this dry brush can use every morning and night?
Is peroxide too harsh if I were to clean the brush the same way u do to the bristles only?
Soap is fine, peroxide might irritate your skin
What’s your preferred method of hair removal?
Also ur hair is amazing, can you tell us how ur routine caring of
hair. Thanks.
Hi Lauren, thanks for this, I must try this, maybe this is what I need in my leg condition, I have a red dots on my legs and the doctor just told me that my blood is not circulating well on my legs, so I gotta try this one..thank you so much..
You might have Keratosis Pilaris in which case dry brushing definitely helps! As well as just exfoliating regularly in general. All the best!
Exfoliation and hydration does wonders for KP!
When you said it kind of grossed you out i laughed so hard i snorted! I dont know why i guess bc it was just a brush. Youre very sweet. Im just up late and silly. God bless you!
Do u eat with combination with dry brushing?
I tired this with two types of brushes and it hurts! I felt like I was scraping my skin off!
Lubriderm is soooo so slept on.🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤the results
Thanks for the info! Today is my dry brush day #1.
Did it work?
How's dry brushing?
I used a dry brush but the bristles were hurting my skin . Can someone recommend a good dry brush brand
You probably felt nauseous because you were getting rid of trapped cellular waste and that can make you feel nauseous at first. As you routinely dry brush, you obviously would not have nearly as much cellular waste for your body to deal with. The more you dry brush the easier it would be. So daily is ideal.
wow i would’ve never thought of that !! thank you for that comment !
I’m in medical school, and the amount is pseudoscience being spouted out by these commenters is making me cringe
@@JasmineFarah12 lol! Exactly. I always roll my eyes so hard when anyone talks about "releasing toxins".
@@JasmineFarah12 The skin is our largest organ. Keeping the skin exfoliated regularly helps a great deal to keep us healthy.
Jasmine what she’s saying is scientifically correct though, it’s the same thing when people get nauseous after deep tissue massages it kinda puts a shock to your system
Wow! There's definitely a difference!
I am going to use my Rosena brush that I got from amazon, exacted to see results.
I will try in my belly, I hope this work the same way it worked for the legs. But I don't know in what direction should I do the movements
Always toward the heart
@@SmartAlex2 Thank you
I love dry brushing!😍
I have no clue what I am looking for, is this supposed to be an alternative to shaving I'm not understanding what this is exactly for, you say smoother legs but is that smoother legs without shaving or what?
dry brushing is lymphatic drainage.
the bristles from the brush smooth the legs. it does not remove hair it is a type of exfoliant for the skin while improving texture over time and improving the circulation in your legs.
Can I dry brush and loofah both ? Or use only any of the one ?
I dry brush and then use a loofah to wash my body after ! it’s not too much on my skin ! If you have sensitive skin be more gentle with the loofah! trial and error ☺️
I have so much cellulite its gonna take me a while lol. like 90% more than you. Do you know if it also helps with spider veins at all?
Spider veins won't disappear unless you go to the doctor. There is no method...at home to get rid of them.
Look at fascia rollers & there are some great oils that can help too for the cellulite
I have done laser twice on spider veins on my tigh and legs. It improved a little but I got stuck with a permanent blue bruise on the worst area, not a huge bruise but it doesn’t look better than the spider vein did, and it’s still a cluster but with a bruise added. Its on my thigh and not my leg luckily so a bit easier for me to ignore at least.
It might help some people though and maybe even me if I do it more times but its pricey and I dont want more brusing, but also a warning. If you have many small marks you want to go over as well its pretty painful! If its just a couple zaps in one tiny area then the pain is over fast at least :) maybe my skin is just extra sensitive to pain, I don’t know. It felt like being stung by a bee x 100 times
There is definitely a noticeable difference from day one to day 30 😮
& it just FEELS SO GOOD
Lauren how long did you do it everyday?
Thanks for the vid!!
i did about 5 to 10 strokes per area of my legs !! time spent is based on personal preference ☺️
How many mins on each leg?
Can u make a hair tutorial on ur curls? Love them
I'm sorry if I missed it, but how long to dry brush each leg to start? I know everyone will be a little different, but I could use a starting point. Thanks!
i do about 3-5 strokes per area ! so however long that takes you 😊
Starting the 30 day trial of Dry Brushing, I gonna get back with the results after that.
