Dry brushing is a massage technique used to promote circulation, detoxify and exfoliate the skin. The process involves massaging the skin with a dry body brush made of either natural bristles or synthetic materials. Experts suggest starting at the lower extremities and working your way up to the neck using circular or long fluid strokes. Take care when brushing sensitive areas to avoid damaging the skin; a few passes over an area is plenty to achieve maximum exfoliation. In fact, using specialty brushes like a Dry Facial Brush on the face, neck and chest are a perfect alternative to traditional dry body brushes for delicate skin. The best time to dry brush is before taking a warm shower and always follow up the process with a mild skin moisturizer.
