We work so hard on our bodies, toning our muscles, shaping our rears, shedding extra fat. With all that hard work happening in the gym sometimes its a challenge to continue that mentality out of the gym. Sometimes you’re so tired after a big sweat session you can barley shower let alone find energy to apply a moisturizer. That extra bit of attention could really make all the difference though.
Enter DRY BRUSHING:
Some of you may have herd of this concept before, and are familiar with exfoliation. Most people will exfoliate their face once a week but the truth is your whole body could use a good exfoliation every once and a while. Dry brushing has been long known to host a number of health benefits such as improved circulation, stimulating lymph drainage, stimulating hormones, and firming the skin.
