Dry brushing the skin is a favorite holistic practice for so many reasons, including the relaxation aspect, the pick-me-up before a shower, and the fantastic exfoliation benefits. No matter what you love about dry brushing, there’s always something new to learn about this ancient ritual. Let the following tips be a helpful beginner’s guide.
A Facial Dry Brush Is Gentler Than a Body Dry Brush
You need two separate brushes for dry brushing face and body. A handheld brush for the face has finer, smaller, super-soft bristles (hairs) to protect the integrity of the more delicate facial and neck skin. You still get impactful exfoliation benefits with a gentle facial dry brush. If you make facial dry brushing part of your regular skincare routine, you may experience:
Better skincare product absorption
Brighter, clearer complexion
Reduced appearance of puffiness
Smoother skin texture
Reduced look of blackheads, inflammation, and milia (little white blemishes/bumps)
A Body Dry Brush Is Only for Your Body
A full-body dry brush has firm bristles and is designed for the proper amount of exfoliation and body coverage. Don’t exfoliate your neck and face with a dry brush for the body. The benefits of body dry brushing are numerous; here are a few:
Smoother, less dry- and flaky-looking skin
Reduced appearance of cellulite
Boost of energy
Increased circulation to help cold feet and hands
Soothing of itchy areas like a good back scratch
Helpful Dry Brushing Tips
People love dry brushing because it’s a gentle form of exfoliation, not to mention myriad other benefits. You can find specific directions on how to use dry brushes most effectively, but here are a few pieces of expert advice and tips you can adhere to:
Dry brush on dry skin, not wet skin: If you dry brush on wet skin, the bristles won’t sweep as well and you won’t get the same results as you would on dry skin.
Dry brush before hopping in the shower: It’s a personal preference, so don’t get hung up on the “right” way to do it, but many like to dry brush the body before hopping in the shower because you can easily rinse off those dead skin cells after exfoliating with a dry brush.
Dry brush the face AFTER cleansing: Wash off any makeup, dirt, and impurities with an oil cleanser or your preferred natural cleanser and pat your skin dry. Then, gently dry brush your face. If you need to sweep any remaining dead skin cells from the surface, you can always rinse with a natural toner and cotton pad.
Dry brush once a day or less: You may get optimal results if you dry brush once a day, but if you have sensitive or inflamed skin, you can dry brush once or twice a week.
Dry brushing is just one way to take good care of your skin naturally. Everything you put on your skin afterward matters just as much—from the non toxic deodorant you use on your underarms to the face serums made with only clean, pure ingredients from nature.
