As you age, your lymphatic system slows down just like every other system in your body, and this compromises your immune system.

How to Dry Brush Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best way to start dry brushing is to begin at the bottom and work your way up. For example, begin at the soles of your feet and ankles and move the brush in a circular motion.<\/p>\n

From there, work upwards to your calves and knees. Strokes here should be long and even as if you were shaving your legs.<\/p>\n

Continue to move upwards to your thighs and hips and continue back in a circular motion. When you reach your neck and…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
