USE
FOLLOW THE VIDEO IN THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION OR FOLLOW THE ILLUSTRATION BELOW TO SEE BRUSHING DIRECTIONS.
Made from FSC-certified beech wood with a full-grain leather strap and natural, soft horsehair cut from the mane. Carefully balanced in terms of softness and firmness to be both effective and gentle on all skin types and ages.
All our dry brushes have a firmness, bristle type, bristle density and bristle length specifically developed for Karmameju.
Run your thumb through the bristles to remove all skin particles after use. Tap off any excess skin particles against a hard surface.
For easy and effective cleaning, we recommend looking after your dry brush with TINY cleansing tool for dry brushes, which effectively removes dirt and dead skin cells from all types of Karmameju dry brushes.
Alternatively: Wash the bristles every 2–3 weeks with a mild soap, such as our sulphate-free SWISH shampoo. Allow the brush to dry away from direct heat, with the bristles facing downwards and, if possible, hanging from the leather strap. We do not recommend sharing your dry brush with others.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not use the brush if you are allergic to horsehair. Do not brush if the skin is wet or damp. Take care not to brush too hard, avoid areas with irritated, sensitive or damaged skin, and take extra care around raised moles and grazes. It is normal for the skin to redden slightly. Loose bristles may occur.
Dry brushing has been practised for centuries all over the world and across a wide variety of cultures. It is a simple, easy and cost-free way to revitalise your beauty routine – as well as your skin and energy levels. Regular dry brushing produces visible results quickly. Read on to learn more about the many benefits of dry brushing.
Boost your energy
For many people, feeling tired, listless and drained of energy is the rule rather than the exception. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Lethargy, exhaustion and a general lack of energy may be due to the lymphatic system being blocked, functioning at reduced capacity or simply having succumbed to stress and harmful environmental influences. By stimulating the lymphatic system with dry brushing, you can get the system working properly again.
Stimulating the function of the lymphatic system
The lymphatic system plays an essential role in our blood circulation, and one of its primary functions is to filter the blood. A complex network of lymphatic vessels carries a clear fluid called ‘lymph’ around the body, filtering, draining and recycling it along the way. A healthy lymph flow is therefore extremely important for a well-functioning and efficient lymphatic system.
Cleansing and detoxification
The lymph nodes, which are distributed throughout the body along the lymphatic pathways, filter and cleanse the lymph fluid, send clean blood cells out into the body and break down bacteria and waste products. As well as cleansing and detoxifying, the lymphatic system recycles digested fats and proteins and sends them out into the body, where they help to boost energy levels.
Go deeper
Lymphatic vessels lie just beneath the uppermost layer of skin, and they send lymph fluid into the body’s deeper lymphatic vessels. Any blockage in the superficial lymph vessels results in blockages in the deeper lymph vessels, so dry brushing is an excellent method for stimulating the entire lymphatic system by working only on the surface.
For all ages
Anyone can dry brush, and it is beneficial for both young and old. Dry brushing will be particularly beneficial for people who lead a more sedentary lifestyle, whether due to work, old age, disability or illness.
New life Dry brushing removes dead skin cells and opens the pores, promoting detoxification and toning the skin. The gentle stimulation of the skin’s connective layers promotes the production of collagen and elastin fibres, and therefore dry brushing can even help reduce cellulite.
Even if you don’t use aromatherapeutic skincare or products for the home, nature still ensures that aromatherapy is all around us. Trees and plants release invisible plant compounds, phytoncides, which research links to lower stress levels and increased activity in the body’s natural defence cells. This is a beautiful account of forest bathing, nature’s aromatherapy and the scientific evidence behind it.
