Dry brushing as a grooming ritual

Morning routines help you enter the day with calmness and a good attitude, and evening routines calm you down and prepare you for sleep. What treatments you do and what cosmetics you use depends on your individual needs. We suggest that you include dry brushing in these daily moments of self-care. See why it's worth it.
Why is it worth creating daily rituals for yourself?
Daily rituals are conducive to stopping and devoting some time to yourself. Time so much needed not to lose what is most important in the heat of tasks and affairs - care for your body and your head.

Introduce brushing into your daily grooming practices
Care rituals are not only applying more cosmetics and introducing nutrients into the skin. It is a holistic self-care - caring for cleansing the body from the outside and inside, taking care of your peace and finding at least a few moments of breath during the day. Dry body brushing fits perfectly into this idea - during the massage you focus on yourself, on the structure of your skin, you make repetitive movements. After the massage you feel relieved and relaxed. The skin is pleasantly tightened, smoothed - you immediately feel that its condition has improved.

Is brushing the new self-care trend?
Dry brushing has a very long tradition. It is an ancient practice, originating from Ayurveda , where it is called Garshana. Literally translated, it means "rubbing". According to this old medical system, this massage is a ritual that cleanses the body of toxins. It promotes the removal of cellular waste from the body, as well as lymphatic cleansing. It is performed without the use of oils or balms.
The assumption of Ayurveda, which is about 5000 years old, is to maintain a balance between body, mind and spirit. Only then does a person feel good and healthy. This balance can be disturbed by lack of sleep, lack of exercise, improper diet, as well as the accumulation of toxins in the body. Among the Ayurvedic healing methods are yoga, meditation, aromatherapy and massage.
Dry brushing is therefore not a novelty or a temporary trend in cosmetics. It is a practice thanks to which you can help cleanse the body, give it energy, and at the same time firm the body and make it gain a beautiful color.
