Healthy skin is one of the most important parts of lymphedema management. The skin acts as a barrier against bacteria and infection, including cellulitis. Keeping the skin clean, moisturized, and well cared for helps reduce risk and supports overall lymphatic health. 🪷

Where dry brushing may fit in 🌿
Some people incorporate very gentle dry brushing as part of their routine to help:

• Exfoliate dry or flaky skin ✨
• Support general skin health 🧴
• Stimulate the surface of the skin before bathing 🚿
• Encourage circulation in the superficial tissues 🔄

Important reminders for people living with lymphedema ⚠️

• Always brush very lightly — the lymphatic system sits just under the skin and does not require pressure. 🪶
• Never brush over broken skin, rashes, infections, or open wounds. 🚫
• Avoid areas that are irritated, inflamed, or recently treated.
• Dry brushing should never replace compression, proper therapy, or medical care. 🩺
• If you are unsure, ask your certified lymphedema therapist (CLT) before adding it to your routine.

For many people, dry brushing is simply a small self-care practice that can complement a broader skin-care routine.
