As the body’s largest organ, skin plays a vital role in wellness as well as beauty. Healthy skin is an outward reflection of how one feels. Moreover, some skin care treatments influence the vital biological systems, helping to achieve a more balanced emotional and physical state. One simple, yet often underrated skin treatment that spa clients can benefit from is dry brushing, also known as body brushing.
