Before applying a body oil it is good to prepare the skin so that its effect is multiplied. The dry brushing technique has been used since ancient times by various cultures, if we go back to its origins we could find that the ancient Egyptians were its pioneers. It also appears as part of the Ayurvedic ritual and it is known as garshana garshana, whose function is to activate the energy in order to release toxins and cleanse the body of dead cells and is especially indicated for imbalances of the kapha body. kapha. In Ayurveda, it is accompanied by the technique of abyangha abyangha, which is a body massage that provides warmth and nourishment to the body.
Does this ancient technique really work?
If we compare dry brushing with wet exfoliation, a technique that has subsequently been incorporated into the world of beauty, it is more effective, because it works the body in a more complete way, from the inside out. It makes sense that before applying a product, the skin must be cleansed of impurities and this is achieved by eliminating the toxicity that we accumulate.
The correct use of the dry brush not only stimulates blood micro-circulation, but also reactivates the lymphatic system, eliminating the lymph that we accumulate and releasing more toxins and dead cells than with wet exfoliation. The massage is applied by exerting more pressure on the areas where the skin is thicker and softening where the skin is thinner.
In addition, incorporating this daily routine stimulates the production of natural oil, restoring smoothness and softness to our skin and preventing the appearance of cellulite.
