Shop body brushes, including a vegan dry body brush, Garshana dry body brush, silicone body cups and exfoliating mitts. Pair with a body scrub in the shower and follow with a body oil or body lotion.
The Benefits of Dry Body Brushing
Dry body brushing is an old Ayurvedic practice known as Garshana, and it's still one of my favourite wellness practices. These are three of my favourite benefits.
Smoother skin
The firm sweeping strokes exfoliate dead skin, so your whole body feels smoother. It can also help with keratosis pilaris, the rough little bumps on the backs of the arms and thighs, because it helps keep the follicles clear.
A healthy-looking glow
The sweeping motions bring blood flow to the surface, which gives the skin a beautiful healthy-looking glow. Dry brushing is also traditionally used to get the lymphatic system moving.
Less visible cellulite
There is research to back this up. A five-week study at the University of Sunderland compared dry body brushing against exercise and an anti-cellulite cream, and dry brushing was the winner, with a 25.8% improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
