Use a soft bristle brush and start at your feet, brushing towards the heart to follow the flow of lymphatic fluid. Brush from your fingertips up towards your shoulders, again towards the heart. Use small strokes and gentle pressure. Avoid the facial area and areas of skin irritation. Incorporate dry skin brushing into your routine before showering or bathing.
