Dry brushing has become a beloved beauty ritual, with Pinterest noting a 41% spike in related pins back in 2015. As skincare experts recommend, this simple practice can transform dull skin into a glowing canvas. Here's what it is and how it works its magic.
What Is Dry Brushing? It's a gentle exfoliation technique using a brush with soft, natural bristles on completely dry skin. By stimulating blood flow, it leaves your skin softer, smoother, and more radiant—a staple in many professional beauty routines.
How to Dry Brush Properly
Brush your dry skin before showering, always directing strokes toward your heart. Begin at your feet and ankles, working upward through legs, arms, abdomen, and neck. From the neck, brush downward over your upper back. Keep pressure light to protect delicate skin—and skip the face (opt for a facial-specific brush instead).
