DRY BRUSHING: WHY YOU SHOULD START DOING IT

You’ve probably heard the term before, but do you actually know what dry brushing is? No, I don’t mean brushing your hair when it’s not wet, either. If you’d like to know how to get smoother and brighter skin, keep reading!

Dry brushing is a fabulous way to exfoliate your body and improve circulation. You want to use a brush that looks like one you hang in the shower, but has stronger bristles made from cactus. When you dry brush regularly, your body lotions and creams will absorb better into the skin, resulting in longer-lasting moisture.

Another amazing benefit of dry brushing? Your skin will actually become firmer. When you dry brush every other day, your circulation will improve dramatically, causing more blood to flow to your cellulite-prone areas. Your skin tone and texture will be much smoother, too!

Not sure what to do? Start at your feet and work your way up the backs of your legs to your neck using gentle, sweeping strokes in an upward motion. The best time to dry brush is right before you shower so you feel invigorated and refreshed. Also, if your skin is feeling sore, you’re pushing too hard – lighten up!
