Lymphatic Contour Face Brush.
Why you need this:
There are three things that your lymphatic system does: it keeps your cellular fluids in balance, it enhances your immune system, and it helps with the absorption of dietary fats. It does this by moving lymphatic fluid (lymph) through a network of vessels, filtering it, and then returning it to your bloodstream, where it is eliminated. Your lymphatic system spans nearly every organ and system of your body.
How does it all work:
The process starts in your lymphatic capillaries, which are located throughout the space between your tissues. These lymph capillaries are wider than your blood capillaries and collect fluid when pressure is exerted on them. From there, this fluid enters the lymphatic vessels, which have one-way valves that prevent backflow.
Pressure from muscle contraction and respiratory movement (deep breathing) moves the lymph along the vessels until it reaches the lymph nodes. Here, lymph is filtered of bacteria, proteins, and cellular debris and is then dispersed into your bloodstream.
How does all of this affect your skin:
Your lymphatic system keeps you healthy and fights infections in your body. Since it is responsible for removing excess fluid, bacteria, and cellular debris from your body, if it is not functioning properly, lymph will build up in your tissues, causing swelling and stagnation. Your lymphatic system is directly linked to your skin, so any issues tend to appear as a host of skin conditions.
Why use this brush as a lymphatic massage for your face:
Doing a bit of lymphatic drainage massage daily goes a long way toward the health and appearance of your skin. It is recommended that one should spend 5 minutes daily, ideally first thing in the morning, performing massage moves. This will sculpt your face, help clear away acne and irritation, and generally contribute to a healthier, glowing complexion.
The two most important things to know when performing this kind of massage, whether with your hands or a with a tool are to use an extremely light touch and to always move in the direction that your lymph drains. Your lymph vessels are very delicate; if you use too much pressure when massaging them, the fluid will not drain properly, and if you massage against the lymph flow, it will cause the fluid to back up.
This brush has a precision contour design that fits the curves of the face precisely to stimulate key lymphatic and drainage channels, improving facial circulation. The rises in the brush act as acupuncture pressure points to aid in the drainage process and soothe the tendons in the face.
It has gentle, ultra-soft bristles crafted with durability that glide smoothly across the skin.
