HOW TO DRY BRUSH ?
All you need to dry brush at home is a brush with natural fiber bristles. You should also look for one with a long handle to help you reach every part of your body.
Your Step-by-Step Guide:
- Start with dry skin: Always brush before showering or bathing, never on wet or moisturized skin.
- Work from extremities toward your heart: Begin at your feet and move upward with short, gentle strokes. For arms, start at your hands and move toward your shoulders.
- Be gentle: Use light to medium pressure—your skin should become pink but never red or irritated.
- Avoid sensitive areas: Skip any areas with broken skin, rashes, or other irritations.
- Keep it brief: 3-5 minutes is all you need for a full-body session.
- Follow with hydration: After showering, apply body oil or moisturizing skin cream or balm.
Consistency is key to experiencing the full benefits of this practice.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DRY BRUSH ?
BRUSH CARE
It’s best to rinse your brush after you have completed your brushing routine. Dry it in an open, sunny area to prevent mildew. Clean your brush once a week using soap and water. Avoid sharing your brush with anyone. This can help prevent the risk of infection.
WHEN TO BOOK A PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT
While your at-home routine will help maintain your skin’s health and appearance, professional treatments offer concentrated benefits that can’t be replicated at home. Consider booking a Healing Touch body treatment:
- At the change of seasons (especially transitioning into winter or summer)
- Before special events when you want your skin to have that extra glow
- As a monthly maintenance ritual to deeply nourish your skin
- Excellent before tanning
- Whenever you need a wellness reset for both body and mind
