Proper lymphatic movement ensures the healthiest aging possible, both through the removal of cellular waste and by assisting with nutrient delivery to cells and tissues. This lymphatic fluid beneath the surface of our skin mirrors our own movement. If we are tense, stressed, or inflamed, our lymph system can become stagnant. When lymph isn’t flowing effortlessly, the result can show up on our skin as dull, depleted, puffy, or congested, eventually leading to chronic concerns like acne, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation.

Lymph tools and manual massage can be used whenever time allows to enhance your Laurel Skin products, creating even more profound results. Utilizing The Lymphatic Brush or other manual lymphatic massage techniques can help support the skin’s natural filtration system, removing excess fluid and cellular waste that can contribute to acne, rosacea, puffiness, dark circles, and skin sensitivities.

LYMPH COMPOUND
Lymph Compound is a concentrated topical supplement for puffiness, lack of contour, and stagnation in the face and neck. Therapeutic whole-plant extracts of conifer trees and organic herbs support the skin’s pathways of movement and detoxification, helping stagnant fluid and metabolic buildup move through the tissues. As fluidity returns, skin appears clearer, less puffy, and naturally more contoured and defined.

THE LYMPHATIC BRUSH by Cecily Braden
Cecily’s patented brush design provides an easy and ergonomic way to incorporate lymphatic drainage into your skincare ritual, making it an effective companion for those wanting to bring even more attention to their lymph system. As the first brush of its kind, it is the original innovation upon which the many versions that followed were modeled.

The contoured shape and unique bristle pattern ensure proper alignment with lymphatic pathways, targeting the superficial lymph vessels residing just under the skin to support lymph flow and “clear the clutter”. The Lymphatic Brush is not a dry brush, a makeup brush, or a cleansing brush; the soft, gentle bristles won’t scratch, irritate, or damage fragile or sensitive skin.

RITUAL
The final destination for the lymphatic fluid of the face and neck are the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct, both nestled underneath the collarbones at the base of the neck. Imagine the head and neck functioning somewhat like a funnel: as the fluid descends from the face to its endpoint, it travels down a narrowing pathway in the neck. It’s important to start all facial lymphatic work at the neck to aid in clearing the pathway and creating space for drainage from above.

GENERAL TIPS:

  • Start with clean skin and a clean brush; skin may be dry or slightly damp with a light misting of Elixir.
  • Brush movements are almost always directed downward and/or outward from the midline of the head, following the natural lymph pathways of the face and neck.
  • Always use gentle pressure, just enough to maintain contact between the brush and skin, while engaging the underlying tissue.
  • Repeat each of the strokes mentioned below 5-10 times; finish all strokes on one side of the face and neck before repeating on the other side.

    NECK:
    1. Begin at the base of the neck and perform short, downward brush strokes towards the collarbone.
    2. Gradually move higher along the side of the neck, continuing to overlap the downward brush strokes towards the collarbone as you go.

    JAWLINE:
    1. Begin at the chin and brush along the jawline, moving out towards the ear. The natural contour of the brush should fall above and below the jawbone.
    2. Perform 1-2 drainage strokes down the side of the neck towards collarbone.

    CHIN + CHEEK:
    1. Using the narrow side of the brush, sweep downward on chin from mouth to jawline.
    2. Continue using the narrow side of the brush to sweep downward along the side of the nose towards jawline.
    3. Brush outward from the side of the nose towards the ear.
    4. Brush downward in front of ear towards jawline.
    5. Perform 1-2 drainage strokes down the side of the neck towards collarbone.

    EYE AREA:
    Use extra light strokes around delicate eye area to avoid pulling on the skin.
    1. Begin at the inner corner, underneath the eye and brush outward towards the temple.
    2. Brush along brown bone, outward towards the temple.
    3. Brush downward in front of ear towards jawline.
    4. Perform 1-2 drainage strokes down the side of the neck towards collarbone.

    FOREHEAD:
    1. Begin between the brows and brush upward on the forehead, moving towards the hairline.
    2. Continue brushing the forehead with upward strokes towards the hairline as you move outward towards the temple.
    3. Brush from center of forehead outward towards temple, then downward in front of ear towards jawline.

    FINISH:
    1. Always finish with extra drainage strokes down the side of the neck towards collarbone to irrigate, move, and cleanse the lymph pathways.
    2. Continue with your Laurel Skin ritual as normal: Hydrating Elixir, Compound, Serum, Balm. We recommend 4-6 drops of Lymph Compound pressed into the face and neck.

    CLEANING YOUR BRUSH:
    Cleanse your brush with warm water and a small amount of gentle cleanser, then let it air dry. Do not leave the brush soaking in water.

    Life Underneath
    Just beneath the skin’s surface flows a life-giving current known as our extracellular matrix. This consists of helpful nutrients like electrically charged minerals and polymers like hyaluronic acid. It also contains anything we don’t need, like cellular metabolic waste and excess proteins and lipids – all floating in a sea of fluid.

    In order for our capillaries to diffuse nutrient-rich blood to our skin cells, those nutrients have to travel through that sea of fluid. If that fluid gets bogged down by inflammation, excess, or stagnation, that will show up externally in the skin as dullness, edema, puffiness, or acne. If the nutrients can’t get to their final destination, that can show up as accelerated aging, weakened elasticity, and more chronic conditions.

    Our lymphatic system is what keeps this excess fluid moving out of our extracellular matrix by filtering it and returning it to the circulatory system. When we support lymphatic movement, we are actually nourishing our tissues, clearing waste, and helping keep skin vibrant. Moving through a connected network of vessels, the lymph system acts as a clearing pathway, carrying waste out and making more space for nutrient delivery. Supporting lymph through daily habits can have a meaningful impact on skin health and longevity. We explore that connection more deeply in this entry in our Apothecary Pages.
