What is Dry Brushing?

Dry brushing is a therapeutic technique that involves using a dry, stiff-bristled brush to rub your skin in a particular pattern. The brush strokes are typically made in long, sweeping motions, starting at the feet and working up the body towards the heart.

Dry brushing is thought to have a variety of benefits, including exfoliating dead skin cells, improving circulation, stimulating the lymphatic system, and reducing the appearance of cellulite. Some people also find it relaxing and invigorating.

To try dry brushing, you’ll need a dry brush with stiff bristles. You can start at your feet and brush in long strokes towards your heart. You can also use circular motions on your abdomen and back. It’s recommended to avoid sensitive areas, like your face or any areas with cuts or wounds.

Dry brushing is generally safe for most people, but if you have sensitive skin or certain medical conditions, it’s best to consult with your doctor before trying it.
