Dry Body Brush

Rooted in ancient rituals of self-care, dry brushing has many benefits and is best practiced prior to bathing/showering or sweating (typically in a sauna). Our dry brush is eco-friendly. It has firm bristles and is made with wood.

Delicately stimulating the lymphatic system, our brush gently exfoliates, leaving your skin with a renewed glow. Feel revitalised as blood circulation is awakened with each stroke.

The Benefits of Dry Brushing:

Lymphatic Support: Promotes lymphatic drainage, helping to remove toxins and waste products from the body. This may also reduce bloating and overall detoxification.

Exfoliation: Helps remove dead skin cells and promotes smoother and softer skin. Helps to unclog pores, reducing acne and ingrown hairs.

Improved Circulation: Stimulates blood flow to the skin which can improve circulation and assist in reducing the appearance of cellulite and promote a healthy glow. This can also leave you feeling energised after dry brushing.

It can also enhance the absorption of skincare products and encourage relaxation and mindfulness. A beautiful morning ritual which can take only 5 minutes.

The Steps:

Preparation:

Ensure your skin is completely dry, ideally before showering, preferably in the morning. Check that your dry brush is clean and free from any dirt or debris.

Undress:

Get comfy by undressing completely or wearing minimal clothing to allow for direct contact with the skin.

Start with your feet:

Begin at your feet, gently brushing upwards towards your heart to follow the natural flow of lymphatic fluid and blood.

Legs and buttocks:

Continue with long, sweeping motions up your legs, including your thighs and buttocks. Be mindful to avoid any cuts or sensitive areas.

Back and abdomen:

Move on to your back and abdomen, always brushing towards your heart. If reaching your back is a challenge, enlist a helping hand.

Arms and hands:

Switch to your arms and hands, starting from your fingertips and working upwards. Keep that flow going towards the heart.

Chest and neck:

Handle the chest and neck with care, as the skin here is more sensitive.

Duration:

Enjoy 5-10 minutes of gentle brushing all over your body. No need to press too hard; firm but gentle strokes do the trick.

Shower:

After brushing, hop in the shower to rinse off those exfoliated skin cells and released toxins. Opt for a natural soap and lukewarm water.

Moisturise:

Post-shower, treat your skin with a nourishing, natural moisturiser for that extra hydration and comfort. We love our whipped tallow balm, applied on wet skin.

Helpful Tips:

• Keep your brush clean with mild soap and water to maintain hygiene.

• Practice dry brushing 2-3 times a week for optimal results, avoiding overdoing it to prevent skin irritation.

Now you're all set to indulge in the wonders of dry brushing!
