HOW TO DRY BRUSH ?
All you need to dry brush at home is a brush with natural fibre 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
This is really important if you over exfoliate !!
There are many other concerns. Do not compromise your skin by over-exfoliating!
You do not want to compromise your epidermis by over exfoliating. Those with tumors or unusual lumps, like melanoma or other cancers, are at higher risk for infections and discomfort, including severe back acne. Open wounds can lead to infections and slow healing, especially if someone has reduced sensation. It’s important to be cautious and watch for migraines or headaches, depending on their severity.
