Get Invigorated with Dry Skin Brushing

First Listed December 15, 2009

Dry skin brushing is a great way to invigorate your skin and entire being. It feels wonderful and is a great energizer to start your day. You use a gentle natural bristle brush (I found an amazing one which I’ll tell you about in a little bit) on dry skin before you shower. Below are some benefits and an easy routine you can use. Email me if you have any questions.

Dry skin brushing has lots of benefits.

Here are a few:

  • aids in eliminating dead skin cells
  • increases circulation
  • invigorates the body
  • it’s easy and feels good!

Here’s a few tips:

  • use light pressure
  • get a good natural bristle dry skin brush
  • go from shoulders to feet or feet to shoulders (avoid face)
  • brush before you shower on dry skin
  • brush towards the heart
  • wash your brush each time you use it with warm water and a mild soap
  • check with your physician if you have any medical conditions or concerns prior to dry skin brushing
  • avoid sensitive areas and broken skin

And here’s a simple dry skin brushing routine:

  • brush bottoms and tops of feet in circular motions
  • brush up each leg one at a time
  • brush top and bottoms of hands
  • brush up each arm
  • brush your back, abdomen (I brush in clock-wise, circular direction here) and shoulders
  • take a nice warm shower
  • end with a cool rinse if you desire
  • use a natural body oil to massage on your wet skin before patting dry to lock in moisture and finish off your dry brushing routine
  • stand for a moment and just feel how good you feel and enjoy!
  • sometimes I even add a drop of Lavender to my brush before I start my dry brush routine – this totally enhances the experience!

I’ve been on a search for the perfect dry skin brush and I finally found it! You can use it for dry skin brushing and also as a body cleansing brush with your favorite natural soap bar.
