Popular Q&A's for Body Brushes & Scrubs
1. What are the benefits of dry body brushing?
Dry body brushing is an invigorating ritual with a multitude of benefits. It helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve circulation. It can also stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps to detoxify the body and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Plus, it just feels great and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
2. How do I dry brush my body correctly?
Start with dry skin before showering. Using a natural bristle body brush, make long, sweeping strokes towards your heart, starting from your feet and working your way up. Use gentle pressure and avoid sensitive areas. After dry brushing, shower to rinse away dead skin cells, and follow with a moisturiser to hydrate your skin.
3. What are the benefits of using a natural body scrub?
Natural body scrubs offer a deeper exfoliation than dry brushing, using gentle ingredients like sugar, salt, or coffee grounds to buff away dead skin cells and reveal smoother, brighter skin. They also help to improve circulation and can leave your skin feeling soft, supple, and revitalised.
4. How do I choose the right body brush or scrub for my skin?
If you have sensitive skin, opt for a body brush with softer bristles or a gentle body scrub with fine exfoliating particles. For normal to dry skin, you can choose a brush with firmer bristles or a scrub with coarser particles. Consider your preferences for scent and texture when choosing a body scrub.
5. Can I use a body brush or scrub on my face?
It's generally not recommended to use a body brush or scrub on your face, as the skin on your face is more delicate. Choose a facial exfoliant specifically designed for the face to avoid irritation.
