Have you ever heard of Dry Brushing? Do you practice it??

Earlier this week I was introduced to it by Dr. Tanda Cook, a naturopathic doctor. She explained that dry brushing helps to stimulate our lymphatic system. This system, which is part of your immune system and has many functions. The lymphatic system protects your body from illness-causing invaders, maintaining body fluid levels, absorbing digestive tract fats and removing cellar wastes. Who knew?? No me!

Then last night when I went to a Ladies Night hosted in our community (this event contained local vendors, performers and business owners) and I found the most beautiful body brush at one the the vendors tables! (Pictured below)

The brush is made by a company called Iris Hantverk.

The core of the business is located in Sandsborgsvägen, Enskede – where 6 visually impaired craftsmen from different cultures make brushes according to an old Swedish tradition. I think this is so amazing!!

Plus, according to this ‘How To’ visual from holistickenko, dry brushing can also help with the appearance of cellulite!! Again, who knew?? 😂

I would love to hear your thoughts, opinions, experiences with dry brushing….feel free to share below!!

Did you know??

☀️UVB rays cause sun burns
☀️UVA rays cause aging

Sunscreen in your makeup is not enough to protect your beautiful skin...use a daily moisturizer with SPF in combination with a foundation with SPF to ensure proper protection from the sun’s harmful rays.

Prevent premature aging by making SPF part of your morning routine.

Does your daily moisturizer have SPF in it?? Need a new moisturizer?? Or some help with finding one that is perfect for you? Not every moisturizer is created equal.
I’m here to help!

With the weather changing, it’s important that we make sure our skincare practices, products and routines reflect the season change.

Depending on your skincare type there might be some practices you should be adding or tweaking at this time of year.

Good practices to have during the summer months are:

1. Cleanse twice a day.
With the increase in air pollutions like pollen, smog, dust, etc. it’s important to cleanse the environmental stressors off the skin two times a day.
2. Hydrate the skin twice a day.
Hydrated skin has fewer fine lines and wrinkles. A night cream will help to repair the skin from the days damage from all the environmental stressors.
3. Use a face cream with SPF during the day.
Protecting your skin from the sun helps to reduce the harmful aging effects the sun can cause.
4. Use skincare that is right for your skin type. Using a skincare line that isn’t right for your skin will cause more stress in your skin and can cause redness, lines, wrinkles and patchy acne.
5. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day!
Hydrating from the inside out will help your skincare routine be more effective at providing you a youthful glow and clear skin.
