Several times a week I head to the wet and dry sauna with my dry brush and essential oils and dry brush my arms and legs. Do you know why I do this?
Detoxing on a regular basis isn’t just a wellness trend—it’s a crucial for maintaining health. Over time, our bodies are exposed to toxins from the environment, food, and even household products. Without routine detoxification, these toxins cloud our cells, making them sluggish.
This can lead to symptoms like brain fog, slower reflexes, low energy, and stubborn weight gain.
If you've ever felt like your body isn’t responding as quickly as it used to or that you’re constantly fatigued, it might be time to add a simple detox practice to your routine. One of the easiest and most effective methods is dry brushing with essential oils—specifically using Cell-Lite Magic Oil.
What Is Dry Brushing and Why Should You Do It?
Dry brushing involves using a natural bristle brush on dry skin in upward, circular motions. This simple technique has been practiced for centuries and provides multiple health benefits:
- Stimulates the Lymphatic System: Dry brushing promotes lymphatic drainage, which helps your body eliminate toxins more efficiently.
- Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells: Say goodbye to dull, dry skin! Dry brushing sloughs off dead skin, leaving your skin radiant and soft.
- Boosts Circulation: The brushing action increases blood flow, helping your skin look more vibrant.
- Supports Cell Detoxification: Paired with essential oils like Cell-Lite Magic Oil, dry brushing can amplify your detox results.
Why Use Essential Oils for Detoxing?
Essential oils are potent plant extracts that can penetrate the skin and work at the cellular level. When you add Cell-Lite Magic Oil to your dry brushing routine, you’re not just improving the texture of your skin—you’re giving your cells a deep clean. This powerhouse blend is known to:
- Break down stubborn cellulite by improving circulation.
- Support the lymphatic system in eliminating toxins.
- Nourish the skin with moisturizing, detoxifying essential oils.
How to Dry Brush with Cell-Lite Magic Oil
Ready to get started? Follow these simple steps:
- Start with Dry Skin: Dry brushing is most effective before a shower when your skin is dry and your pores are primed for detoxing.
- Apply Cell-Lite Magic Oil: Cover the parts of your body you'll be dry brushing with Cell-lite massage oil.
- Brush in Circular Motions: Start at your feet and brush upward toward your heart using gentle, circular motions.
- Focus on Detox Areas: Pay extra attention to areas like your thighs, stomach, and arms where toxins often accumulate.
- Hydrate and Shower: After brushing, hop in a warm shower to rinse away any exfoliated skin and toxins. Follow up by hydrating with more Cell-Lite Magic Oil.
Detox and Sauna: A Winning Combo
If you have access to a sauna, consider combining your dry brushing routine with sauna sessions. Saunas promote sweating, which helps your body eliminate toxins more efficiently. Applying Cell-Lite Magic Oil before entering the sauna enhances this effect, giving you a deeper, more effective detox.
Real Benefits of Regular Detoxing
Consistent detoxing through dry brushing can result in:
- Clearer skin
- Improved mental clarity
- Better energy levels
- Reduced appearance of cellulite

But someone needs to talk about it because it affects 1 in 20 people and half the population over 50! Other people at risk are: pregnant women, the overweight, those who sit a lot, and those with low fiber diets. So that covers most of the population, right?
So what can be done about it?
First, the obvious,


Well, I’ve been noticing that my jaw line is starting to sag, so I applied something I learned from a friend who attended Beauty School.
She applied and her hooded eyes were lifted! I saw it first hand on her!
I’ve been applying Myrrh and Pachouli to my neck, jaw and face and I can seriously tell a difference.
I added Patchouli since it helps the body naturally produce more collagen.
Myrrh has a TON of benefits, but I’m so happy to learn why Queen Esther and the ancient royalty used these two in their beauty regimen!!
I make up a little serum with Jojoba and Castor oil and then add my essential oils. Castor oil is too thick alone in my opinion and Jojoba oil is just perfect for absorption.

My daughter, Annalise Hiley, ran an HTMA test on me and the results showed that I would benefit from some intentional physical detoxing. She recommended a few supplements (most of which were sitting in my cabinet but I had not been taking
) along with dry brushing, and sitting in the sauna.

I'm already very active, so I didn't need to ADD exercise. I do that daily. I simply don't sweat very easily and the results showed in my HTMA.
Dry brushing is a simple practice, but doing it correctly can maximize its benefits and minimize any potential irritation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to dry brushing:
Materials Needed:
- A natural-bristle brush with a long handle (to reach your back).
- (optional) Cel-lite massage oil to increase the effectiveness of the dry brushing. This massage oil has cypress for circulation, juniper for both cleansing and muscle strength and citrus oils for cleansing the receptor cites of cells.
Steps:
Choose the Right Time: Dry brushing is typically done before showering. I personally do it in the steam room and or sauna.
Start at Your Feet: Begin with the soles of your feet. Use firm, small strokes upward or make circular motions.
Move Upward: Continue brushing up your legs with long, smooth strokes. Always brush towards your heart, which is the direction of lymphatic flow.
Brush Your Torso: After your legs, move to your midsection. For your stomach, use circular, clockwise motions. Brush your back in long, upward strokes.
Arms and Hands: Move to your hands and brush upward towards your shoulders. Again, use long strokes and always brush towards the heart.
Neck and Chest: For the chest and neck, use softer, lighter strokes as the skin in these areas is more sensitive.
Avoid Sensitive Areas: Don’t brush over cuts, infections, rashes, or any areas with broken skin. Be gentle on softer areas like the breasts and inner thighs.
Shower: After brushing, shower to wash away the dead skin cells that have been loosened.
Moisturize: Apply a natural oil or your favorite moisturizer to nourish your skin after dry brushing.
Tips:
- Brush Gently: The pressure should be firm but not painful. Avoid scrubbing too hard.
- Frequency: Start with once a week and gradually increase to 2-3 times per week if your skin tolerates it well.
- Clean Your Brush: Regularly wash your brush with soap and water to keep it clean.
Dry brushing should feel invigorating but not uncomfortable. If you experience any irritation, reduce the frequency or pressure, and always follow up with plenty of water, add a pinch of gray or pink salt for hydration and after your shower re-apply the cel-lite massage oil! to re-moisturize the skin.
I've had my beautiful Aria for well over a decade! And it literally brings me joy every single day! It's beautiful to watch and it has a strong diffusing pump.
Over the last 12 or so years, I have only had to replace the ultrasonic mist maker twice. When I replace it, the diffuser begins to pump like it's brand new! If you have an an Aria and it's not diffusing big puffs, simply change the ultra sonic mist maker disc.
Order the mister HERE (Read to the bottom to see the new price and the best deal on the Aria)
Simple Maintenance for Longevity
How to Keep Your Diffuser Pumping Like New
Once you have the new disc, remove the old one from the center of your diffuser. Keep the ring that holds the disc in place. Discard the old disc. Replace it with the new one. Secure the new disc in place with the metal ring.
Now use and enjoy your diffuser like you always have!
Essential Cleaning Tips
Keeping Your Diffuser Clean for Optimal Performance
It's important to clean the inside of your diffuser with a toothbrush or a diffuser brush occasionally. Keeping it clean will help extend the life of your disc.
I clean mine with the Thieves hand foaming soapbecause it's gentle and effective on stains. I use this brush to get the details cleaned.
Be careful not to get water into the motor. If you get water in the motor, there's no hope for the diffuser as far as I know.
Water Quality and Maintenance
Why Distilled or Purified Water is Best for Your Diffuser
If you keep your diffuser clean, use low mineral water like distilled or purified, and change the disc out about every 5 years, your diffuser should last you a very long time!
