You get:

A solid Bian stone tool with both smooth and combed edges, used for:
- Gentle lymphatic drainage strokes
- Working on fascia and tight tissues
- Supporting circulation and collagen-friendly stimulation
- Reducing the look of puffiness and smoothing the appearance of cellulite over time - How-To Guide for Dry Brushing & Lymphatic Drainage
A clear, step-by-step guide that shows you:
- How to dry brush safely (and where to start)
- How to use your Bian stone for lymphatic massage
- How to work on specific areas: legs, arms, belly, hips, back, and more
- How to build a simple weekly ritual you’ll actually follow
Loose skin, puffiness, and stubborn “texture” on the legs, hips, and arms often aren’t just about skin alone. They’re about circulation, lymphatic flow, muscle tension, and how your tissues are being treated day after day.
This toolkit brings all the pieces together:
- A dry brush to wake up the skin and surface circulation
- A Bian stone to support lymphatic flow and fascia health
- Magnesium Balm to support relaxation, skin elasticity, and fluid balance
- Recovery Balm to help calm overworked muscles and tender areas
Instead of chasing a single “magic cream,” you get a simple, neurologist-designed routine that works with your body, not against it.
As Dr. Doug puts it:
“If you want your skin to look better, you have to care for what’s happening under the skin-muscles, lymph, and circulation. This toolkit is built for that.”
For Skin Tightening & Smoother-Looking Cellulite
- Support the appearance of firmer, more toned skin on thighs, hips, arms, belly, and glutes
- Use dry brushing + Bian stone + Magnesium Balm to help:
- Encourage lymphatic flow
- Reduce the look of puffiness
- Support elasticity and bounce in the skin - Ideal for post-weight loss, postpartum, or anyone wanting a more lifted, “held together” feel
For Lymphatic Drainage & Fluid Retention
- Use the dry brush and Bian stone in a heart-directed pattern (feet/legs → heart, neck → heart) to:
- Help your body move stagnant fluid
- Support natural detox and lymph movement
- Relieve that “puffy, heavy legs” feeling after travel or long days standing
For Muscle & Joint Recovery
- Magnesium Balm:
- Apply to calves, thighs, hips, back, and shoulders after workouts or long days
- Helps muscles feel more relaxed, less tight, and more ready to move again - Recovery Balm:
- Perfect for focused areas like knees, ankles, plantar fascia, elbows, and low back
- Many people use it for day-to-day overuse aches and workout recovery
For Abdominal Discomfort & Bloating (Supportive, Not Medical Treatment)
- With Magnesium Balm and your Bian stone, you can perform gentle, clockwise belly massage to:
- Support digestive comfort related to gas and bloating
- Encourage calm and softness in the abdominal wall - This is not a treatment for medical conditions—but many people love it as a comfort ritual.
Step 1: Dry Brush (1–5 minutes)
1. Start on dry skin before your shower or bath.
2. Using the Premium Round Dry Brush, use light-to-moderate pressure and short strokes:
- Feet → up the legs toward the hips
- Hands → up the arms toward the shoulders
- Lower belly → up toward the ribs and then over toward the left side (following colon direction)
- Back and hips → toward the center of the body
3. Always work toward the heart to support lymphatic flow.
4. Choose Gentle bristles for sensitive skin / beginners, Deep Exfoliation for more seasoned brushers.
Step 2: Shower (Optional but Recommended)
- Rinse off with warm (not super hot) water.
- You can pair this ritual with Charcoal Soap if you want extra detox-supportive cleansing.
- Pat skin dry—don’t scrub aggressively with a towel.
Step 3: Magnesium Balm Application (5–10 minutes)
1. Full-Body Ritual
- Scoop a small amount of Magnesium Balm and warm between your hands.
- Start at the feet and work up the legs toward the heart using long, upward strokes.
- Apply to hips, glutes, and belly, using gentle circular or upward motions.
- Finish with arms, shoulders, and neck, always moving toward the heart.
2. Abdominal Massage (for comfort)
- Apply a thin layer of Magnesium Balm to the belly.
- Use gentle, clockwise strokes following the path of the colon (right side up, across, down the left).
- Spend about 3–5 minutes on this area for a calming, de-bloating ritual.
Step 4: Bian Stone Gua Sha (Targeted Work)
1. Apply a bit more Magnesium Balm to areas you want to focus on—thighs, hips, back of arms, belly.
2. Use the smooth edge of the Bian stone for lymphatic strokes:
- Light pressure, long strokes toward the nearest lymph basin (groin, underarms, collarbones).
3. Use the combed edge for fascia and cellulite-prone zones:
- Shorter strokes in one direction
- Keep pressure moderate, not painful
4. Limit each area to a few minutes to avoid overworking the tissue.
Step 5: Spot Treat with Recovery Balm
- Apply Recovery Balm to:
- Knees, ankles, and plantar fascia
- IT bands, hips, lower back, and shoulders
- Any area that feels especially sore or overused - Use 1–3 times per day as needed during intense training or when your body feels inflamed and overworked.
Frequency
- Dry brushing + magnesium + gua sha: 3–5 times per week
- Recovery Balm: As needed (often daily) during training cycles, heavy work weeks, or post-travel

Frequently asked questions
No topical kit can promise to erase cellulite or loose skin. What this toolkit is designed to do is support healthy circulation, lymphatic flow, and skin elasticity, which can help your skin look smoother, less puffy, and more toned over time—especially when combined with movement, hydration, and overall healthy habits.
Everyone is different. Many people notice that their skin feels softer and less puffy within days, and see more visible changes in tone and texture with consistent use over weeks to months.
If you have varicose veins, lymphedema, blood clot history, or any circulatory condition, you should talk with your doctor before starting dry brushing, gua sha, or aggressive massage. You may still be able to use the balms, but your clinician can guide what’s safe for you.
Many people with sensitive skin use our balms and tools, but dry brushing and gua sha add mechanical stimulation. Start slowly, use a Gentle brush, avoid broken or irritated skin, and always patch test balms first. If irritation occurs, stop and consult your healthcare provider.
Many expectant and new moms are interested in skin tightening and lymphatic support, but you should always consult your OB or midwife before starting new products or manipulative techniques (like gua sha or aggressive dry brushing) during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Most people do a full tightening + lymphatic routine 3–5 times per week, and use Magnesium and Recovery Balm daily (or as needed) for muscle comfort.
