Lymphatic drainage massage is a procedure that is recommended for almost everyone, regardless of gender or age. The main goal &ndash; normalize lymph circulation, as a result of which the body is freed from toxins, which leads to a decrease in swelling and improved blood circulation.

Lymphatic drainage is one of the main procedures for body shaping and in the fight against cellulite. As a result of the removal of toxins, metabolism improves, skin irregularities (&ldquo;orange peel effect&rdquo;) are eliminated, and body weight decreases. Lymphatic drainage is usually done in the salon, and you can follow simple recommendations to maintain the effect.

Want to exfoliate your skin while reducing puffiness and increasing circulation in the process? Try&nbsp;dry brushing. Just as it sounds,&nbsp;dry brushing&nbsp;is the process of running a thick-bristled brush over your skin when dry. The process itself is also fairly simple: brush your skin using long, upward strokes, starting at your feet, while slowly moving upward toward your heart. Glowing skin, here you come.&nbsp;

A Lymphatic Drainage Paddle

If you have sensitive skin and think dry brushing might be too harsh for your skin, opt for a&nbsp;lymphatic drainage paddle&nbsp;instead. While it essentially has all the same benefits&mdash;increases&nbsp;circulation,&nbsp;reduces puffiness and water retention, and aids in&nbsp;digestion, a paddle is much lighter on the skin. Instead of rubbing the tool directly on your&nbsp;skin, you should slather your body in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/drinking-extra-virgin-olive-oil-beauty-health-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oil</a>&nbsp;first, making it easy for the paddle to glide along your body. Also similar to a dry brush, the lymphatic paddle process works in almost the same way. Start at the bottom of your body, gliding the tool in upward strokes toward your heart.&nbsp;

Legs Up the Wall Pose

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/heidi-klum-has-million-dollar-insurance-for-her-legs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legs</a>&nbsp;up the wall pose is by far the easiest lymphatic drainage hack&mdash;all you have to do is lie down against a wall and elevate your legs at an angle. If positioning your body at a 90-degree angle feels like too much, you can move backward as much as you like, as long as your legs remain elevated above your heart. And how exactly does this help? According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/legs-up-the-wall-weight-loss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Healthline</a>, "Elevating your legs can help&nbsp;improve circulation&nbsp;by reducing pressure in the leg veins and redirecting blood flow back toward your heart. This can also help with lymphatic drainage and fluid buildup to help reduce leg swelling." Stay in the position for anywhere from five to 20 minutes, and you'll instantly feel lighter and less&nbsp;inflamed. Plus, you can do it anywhere. Oh,&nbsp;and&nbsp;it's free.&nbsp;

Gua Sha &amp; Facial Rollers

@lesamapoles

While dry brushing and a lymphatic paddle might work for your body, these methods are too harsh for the face. The solution?&nbsp;Facial rollers&nbsp;and&nbsp;gua sha. Not only will these tools help sculpt the cheekbones, giving you a jawline from the gods, but they will also help reduce puffiness and water retention, giving you an overall more snatched look.&nbsp;

Infrared Sauna Blanket

@heathealer

Why get a gym or spa membership to use an&nbsp;infrared sauna&nbsp;when you can just have the next best thing at home? An infrared sauna blanket. While you might feel like an alien wrapped up in tin foil, these at-home&nbsp;devices&nbsp;have crazy benefits. Notably, the heat from the device causes a deep sweat, pushing out toxins and improving circulation in the process, per&nbsp;<a href="https://www.byrdie.com/infrared-sauna-blanket-5209537" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Byrdie</a>.

@livingwithlandy

You've probably heard this health hack hundreds of times throughout the course of your life: drink more&nbsp;water. And while it really might sound counterintuitive, drinking more water will actually help reduce water retention in the body, per&nbsp;<a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/13-ways-to-lose-water-weight#TOC_TITLE_HDR_9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Healthline</a>. But what if water is just too boring and not tasty enough? Try throwing in fruit, like some lemons or berries, and add an herb, like mint or basil, for a refreshing and hydrating summer&nbsp;drink.&nbsp;
