The Art of Body Brushing
We are thrilled to introduce our newest addition to the Skin Wellness family: the GROUND Body Brush. From Ayurvedic teachings to the Ancient Egyptians dry body brushing is a self care practice with deeply historical roots. It is a ritual that has stood the test of time in regards to its benefits to both the body and mind. Let's delve into the wonders of dry body brushing as we discuss why we at GROUND love it so much.
Made from Tampico Bristle and FSC Beechwood, the GROUND Body brush is an effective tool to help improve energy levels and overall well being. Regular brushing also helps to improve skin health and texture while also stimulating blood flow, and improving lymphatic circulation.
EXFOLIATION TOOL
Body brushing helps to exfoliate dead skin cells and encourages the skin's natural renewal process. By promoting cellular turnover in this way, it can be really helpful for smoothing the skin and avoiding ingrown hairs. Regular use of our Ground Body Brush can work wonders for your skin. The combination of bamboo and cactus bristles provides the perfect balance of exfoliation and stimulation, helping to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote a smoother, more even skin texture.
LYMPHATIC CIRCULATION
The increased blood circulation and lymphatic drainage that dry brushing promotes leave the body feeling revived and rejuvenated. Incorporating dry body brushing into your routine can greatly enhance your lymphatic circulation. This practice effectively activates and invigorates the lymphatic system, ensuring optimal functionality when maintained as a consistent habit.
UPLIFTING & INVIGORATING
Dry body brushing is not just about improving your skin; it also has a positive impact on your energy levels and overall well being. The act of brushing stimulates nerve endings, providing an invigorating sensation that awakens the senses and promotes a sense of vitality.
