Popular Q&A's for Dry Body Brushing

1. What are the benefits of dry body brushing?

Dry body brushing offers multiple benefits: it removes dead skin cells for smoother, brighter skin; stimulates the lymphatic system to help eliminate toxins; improves blood circulation for a healthy glow; may reduce the appearance of cellulite; and provides a moment of mindful self-care. Many users also report increased energy and improved wellbeing when practiced regularly.

2. How do I properly dry brush my skin?

For best results, brush on dry skin before showering. Always brush toward your heart using gentle, upward strokes. Start at your feet and move upward along your legs, then brush from hands toward shoulders. Use circular motions on joints and gentler pressure on sensitive areas. Brush for 3-5 minutes, then shower to wash away exfoliated skin cells. Follow with moisturiser.

3. How often should I dry brush?

Most people benefit from dry brushing 2-3 times per week. Those with sensitive skin may prefer just once weekly, while others enjoy it as a daily practice. Listen to your body and adjust frequency as needed—your skin should feel invigorated, not irritated, after brushing.

4. What types of dry brushes do you stock?

5. How do I care for my dry brush?

To keep your brush clean and extend its lifespan, clean it weekly by washing the bristles with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and shake out excess water. Allow the brush to dry completely with bristles facing down before using again. Replace your brush every 12 months depending on usage and wear.
