Glow Getter: Unlocking Radiant Skin with the Power of Dry Brushing

I don’t know about you Savvy snowbirds…but my skin is so dry! It’s feels like sandpaper. I am licking my lips non-stop! I hear people complain about humidity in Florida but boy is it good for keeping your skin dewy fresh!!

I have been reading a lot about the benefits of dry brushing and thought I’d give it a go.

The hardest part is remembering to do it before I get into the shower. Half the time I am part way through my shower and I realize I’ve forgotten and I make that face. You know the one I mean? You shoulder’s slump, you look up, your mouth gapes open and you moan “Uhg” LOL..did you just try it? 😂

For active women of a savvy age 😉 , dry brushing can offer several positive benefits for their skin and overall well-being.

1. Exfoliation: Dry brushing helps exfoliate the skin by removing dead cells from the surface. This can leave the skin feeling smoother and softer, promoting a more youthful appearance.
2. Stimulates Circulation: Dry brushing stimulates blood circulation, which can improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. Better circulation may result in a brighter complexion and healthier-looking skin.
3. Lymphatic Drainage: Dry brushing is believed to support the lymphatic system by encouraging lymphatic drainage. This can help remove toxins and waste products from the body, reducing inflammation and promoting detoxification.
4. Cellulite Reduction: While the evidence is anecdotal, some people believe that dry brushing can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by promoting lymphatic drainage and breaking down fat deposits under the skin. If this isn’t reason enough then I don’t know what is! 😆
5. Energizing Effect: The act of dry brushing can have an invigorating effect on the body, similar to a light massage. Many people find that it helps them feel more awake and energized, especially when done in the morning.
6. Stress Relief: Dry brushing can be a relaxing self-care ritual that allows women to take a few moments for themselves each day. The repetitive motion of brushing can help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being.
7. Improves Absorption of Skincare Products: By exfoliating the skin and stimulating circulation, dry brushing can help improve the absorption of moisturizers, serums, and other skincare products. This allows us active, savvy aged gals, to get more out of their skincare routine.
8. Promotes Healthy Glow: Regular dry brushing can promote a healthy glow by encouraging cell turnover and revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. This can enhance confidence and self-esteem, which are important for women at any age.

There are a lot of great videos on exactly how to dry brush. Apparently there are rules on where to start and which direction you should go. I’m not at that point 😂 I give my body a once over with the brush and then hop in a warm shower. I am trying to avoid hot showers right now. After my shower, once I am dry I do reach for an all over body moisturizer. It really does feel amazing!!
