Dry brushing is a fantastic way to kickstart your day, offering a multitude of benefits that can transform your daily routine. The positive impact it can have on your well-being is truly remarkable. Personally, we find it to be a delightful pre-shower ritual, and it's essential to note that dry brushing is most effective when performed on dry skin. We encourage you not to feel overwhelmed by the process – it's all about promoting fluid elimination, and you can find helpful guidance in the above HOT HAVEN informative video, which provides a step-by-step breakdown of the technique.


The Ultimate Dry Brushing Routine (typically taking around 1 to 3 minutes):

  1. Lymph Node Activation: Begin by stimulating your lymph nodes. Focus on the areas inside your ankles, behind the knees, in the groin, under the armpits, and at the neck.

  2. Grab Your Dry Brush: Next, take hold of your dry brush, and remember the golden rule: brush upward along your limbs and downward along your torso.

  3. Start at the Ankle: Begin at your ankle and gently work your way upwards towards your knee.

  4. Thigh to Groin: Repeat the same circular motion from your thigh to your groin, ensuring thorough coverage.

  5. Tip: Pay special attention to your thigh and hip area, applying a bit more pressure if needed to help break up fascia, potentially aiding in the reduction of cellulite.

  6. Move to Your Arms: Shift your focus to your arms, brushing from your wrist up to your shoulder in upward strokes.

  7. Torso Care: Finally, address your torso by brushing in a downward motion. This technique helps release toxins and facilitates the elimination of excess fluids from your body.

By following these simple steps, you can create a quick and effective dry brushing routine that contributes to your overall well-being.

Last but not least to conclude with your shower, we find it invigorating to finish with a refreshing cold rinse. This two-step approach can significantly enhance your immunity and elevate your energy levels. The advantages become evident once you've tried it. As we have emphasized before, the key here is consistency, and let us assure you that sticking with this routine will yield remarkable results over time.
