A Minimalistic Approach
The Lymphatic Brush focuses on a modern and minimalistic approach to skincare that prioritizes our internal health.

  • Brighten the complexion and improve the vitality of the skin from the inside out.
  • Clear cellular waste and increase nutrient absorption.

Cecily Braden has revolutionized "bristle" face and body brushes with the introduction of The Lymphatic Brush. The patented design features a unique bristle pattern and density combination that grips the skin in a precise way targeting the superficial lymph vessels to manually propel fluids and stimulate lymph flow.

The ergonomic contoured shape of The Lymphatic Brush ensures proper contact with the surface of the skin and accurate alignment with the lymph nodes and lymphatic pathways.

Although they appear the same, the small and large brush bristles differ slightly to provide appropriate pressure from head to toe. While you can safely interchange them, it's recommended to use the appropriate brush for each area to achieve the maximum benefits.

What is Lymphatic Drainage? 

The Lymphatic System: The Unsung Hero of our Body

The lymphatic system is the sewer system of our body. It irrigates our tissue; filters and flushes excess fluid and cellular waste from the spaces between our cells, providing a clean environment for them to function and receive the nutrients they need. 

It maintains fluid balance, facilitates our regenerative processes and is the foundation and function for our adaptive immunological responses. If it stops functioning, you will die within 24 hours. Sounds dramatic, but it’s true.

The lymphatic system is the unsung “lift-sustaining” hero of the body and works in conjunction with the circulatory system to support and maintain the overall health and functioning of all our organs.
It’s the answer to healthy, clear, glowing skin. If you want to lose weight, stop bloating and minimize the appearance of cellulite....

“The lymph system is the origin of life. Youth, life and death are dependent on lymph and its renewal. We live in lymph; our tissues are washed in lymph. It supplies us with the life-giving nutrients necessary for body development.” — Dr. Vodder Handbook
