How to do it
- Choose a soft, natural-bristle body brush.
- Start at your ankles with light, slow strokes upwards.
- Work up to your thighs, using gentle pressure only.
- Shower and moisturise afterwards.
Easier version
Brush only your lower legs for a minute.
Safety note
Ask your doctor or lymph therapist whether this suits your legs, and which technique and pressure to use. Use gentle pressure and stop on irritated, broken or sore skin.
Why women include it
Some women include dry brushing as a short ritual before their shower and enjoy how their skin feels. Notice how your legs feel and log it.
