Body brushing
If the hectic pace of life in Dubai is getting to you, then maybe you should consider indulging in three to five minutes of body brushing first thing in the morning with a natural bristle brush. It will stimulate blood and lymph flow, encourage new cell growth and have detoxifying effects. Founder of Detox @ Your Door, Michelle Reynolds says that technique is important. She suggests, "...start at the feet and using long, light, brisk movements sweep up the legs. The abdomen should be brushed in a circular motion. All brushing should be in the direction of the heart for best results."
