    Ready for a summer detox? 

    Lymphatic drainage has become all the rage with vibration plates going viral on TikTok, massage spots like The Tox and Ricari Studios earning a spot in consumers’ regular self care routines and more supplements, topicals and tools hitting the market.

    The lymphatic system works to remove toxins in the body and may become stagnant due to an array of factors including illness, dehydration, lack of movement, poor diet and more. Additionally, when the lymphatic system isn’t working properly, it may lead to swelling, inflamed skin, a weakened immune system, fatigue and other issues. When the lymphatic system needs to be worked out, most people may notice puffiness, bloating or fluid retention, which can be addressed with manual massage, devices and other methods.

    While there are a slew of options for lymphatic drainage massages and intensive treatments on the market, these can get expensive, particularly with regular use. Now there are plenty of devices, supplements and topicals on the market that can be used daily to support the lymphatic system without breaking the bank.

    Here, a look at 10 products to support lymphatic drainage, detoxification and smoother, more sculpted-looking skin from home.

    The Hyperice Normatec Legs use seven levels of air compression to address swelling, circulation and recovery. The brand recommends using the zip-up boots for 20 to 60 minutes per session.
