5 Minute Quick Daily Detox Strategy (Shower Ritual)

REFRESH and DETOX DAILY with a 5 MINUTE SHOWER RITUAL

Take five minutes tacked on to the end of your regular ol’ shower to support daily detoxification. 


Detox baths are great but…
As much as I wish I had the time to take a bath regularly, I simply don’t. Sunday is my bathing self-care ritual day, so during the week, grab your dry brush and jump in! 
 
Transform your shower into a detoxifying hydrotherapy practice. 

Quick & Simple Detox Shower

1. Grab a Dry Brush and stroke the body up towards the heart in smooth brushing motions to remove dead skin cells and pre-stimulate the lymphatic system. 

2. Hop in the shower!  
Alternative hot and cold temperatures stimulate the lymph by contracting and relaxing the lymph vessels, helping it to flow.

This is really critical since unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump and so can become stagnant. 

Returning your inner-outer beauty to an inner-out GLOW. 


Hot + Cold  -  Simple Steps

Shower as usual with whatever temperature water you prefer
Turn the water temperature up slightly.  

Keep your body under the water, getting all parts wet, for 30 seconds.*

Turn the water temperature as cold as you can stand it. Again, keep your body under the water, getting all parts wet, for 30 seconds.*

Wash and Repeat 4 times.  

Cheers!
