While it feels wonderful to slough off dry skin with sugar, salts, oats and other emollient oils, it pays to bear in mind that the skin actually has a delicate barrier. This sensitive acid mantle can be easily disturbed by the excessive use of products or harsh exfoliants. But exfoliation is a good thing. And here&#8217;s where the marvel of scrubbing mitts and the ancient art of dry brushing can really bring your skin into its own, natural healing element.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is dry brushing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just about 1\/3 of all body toxins are eliminated through your skin &#8211; your body&#8217;s largest excretion organ. Dry brushing becomes an effective technique for eliminating toxins because of its stimulating effect on the\u00a0lymphatic system.<\/p>\n<p>You see, the lymphatic system is in charge of collecting, transporting fatty acids and cells through the blood and getting rid of any waste build up in our cells. When the lymphatic system gets blocked up, the toxins can&#8217;t be released and they build up, which can lead to inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Dry brushing supports this by removing the dead skin cells that can cause the blockage and further\u00a0stimulating the circulation further.<\/p>\n<p>Like many good, holistic habits, dry brushing also finds its roots in Ayurveda. A 5000-year-old Hindy practice to be more precise, known as <em>Garshana. <\/em>Garshana\u00a0or skin brushing invites the practitioner to use either a medium bristle brush, silk glove or rough sponge and brush or dry massage the skin in upward and circular strokes towards the heart to stimulate the aforementioned lymph drainage systems.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a gentle, delicate practise, considerate of sensitive skin barriers while effectively exfoliating and detoxing the body.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Magic mitts worth trying<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1.
