Dry brushing is a mechanical exfoliation technique, which is also sometimes known as physical exfoliation. Physical exfoliation involves using a tool or scrub to slough off dead skin cells on your skin's surface.
When you dry brush, the bristles immediately help shed any lingering dead skin cells. This process helps remove buildup and increase cell turnover, revealing smoother skin texture and a more radiant skin tone. Before your shower, use a natural bristle brush to gently exfoliate your skin. Start from your feet and work your way up in circular motions. This technique boosts circulation, exfoliates dead skin cells, and promotes lymphatic drainage.
How to Dry Brush.
To dry brush, use a natural fiber brush with a long handle. The long handle will help you reach all areas of your body. Follow these steps:
1. Remove your clothes and stand in a tub, shower, or other comfortable area.
2. Start with your feet and move up your legs. Brush the skin with gentle pressure in small, circular motions. Focus on areas for about 30 seconds.
3. Continue dry brushing in circular motions up your body to the buttocks and back.
4. Repeat the process, starting with the hands and moving up the arms to the shoulders. While dry brushing, think about moving up the body and toward the heart.
5. If you desire, dry brush the stomach and move up to the chest, avoiding sensitive areas like the nipples or breasts.
6. After dry brushing, take a lukewarm shower to remove dead skin cells. (Hot water can dry out your skin!)
7. Follow up with a moisturize or lotion to help seal in moisture and hydrate skin.
ITS BENEFITS
* It serve as massage techniques helps put enough pressure on the skin to help improve blood flow to the surface of the skin and deep arteries
* Improved circulation helps provide oxygen-rich blood to support healthy tissues and organ function. Increasing blood flow can also help improve energy and benefit people with inflammatory conditions that limit circulation.
* May Reduce Cellulite Appearance. Dry brushing may help reduce the appearance of dimpled skin by improving blood flow—which can temporarily plump the skin. Since dry brushing is a lymphatic massage technique, it may also offer similar cellulite benefits.
* Exfoliation: The coarse bristles can brush away dry, dead cells from the skin. This can leave your skin more smooth and soft.
* Relaxation: Similar to a massage, dry brushing may make you feel relaxed. To make the most of this benefit, practice dry brushing in a dark, quiet space.
