How to Use the Body Brush
- Dry Brushing Technique: Dry brushing is typically done before a shower or bath and is a powerful method for exfoliating and stimulating the skin. Here’s how to use your body brush for dry brushing:
- Start at the feet: Begin by brushing the soles of your feet, using long, sweeping motions toward the heart. This promotes lymphatic drainage and improves circulation.
- Work your way up: Brush in long, upward strokes along the legs, arms, and back. Use circular motions for the belly area to stimulate circulation and digestion.
- Use light pressure: For best results, use gentle pressure that allows the bristles to effectively exfoliate the skin without causing irritation. Focus on areas like elbows, knees, and thighs, where skin tends to be rougher.
- Focus on the lymphatic system: Always brush towards the heart to encourage lymphatic flow and detoxification. This helps reduce puffiness and promotes skin health.
- Wet Brushing Technique: The Oval Wet/Dry Body Brush is also suitable for use in the shower or bath. When wet brushing, it helps to exfoliate and cleanse the skin while you bathe.
- Use with your favorite body wash or scrub: Wet the body brush and apply your preferred body wash or exfoliating scrub. Gently massage the brush in circular motions all over your body.
- Exfoliate: Focus on areas with rough skin, such as the elbows, knees, and feet, to remove dead skin cells and promote smoother, healthier-looking skin.
- Rinse and hydrate: After using the body brush in the shower, rinse your skin with cool water to close the pores and finish with a nourishing moisturizer to lock in hydration.
- Frequency of Use: For dry brushing, it is generally recommended to do it 2-3 times a week. Wet brushing can be done daily, especially as part of your regular bathing routine, to maintain soft, smooth skin.
- Aftercare: After using the body brush, it’s important to hydrate your skin. Apply a nourishing body oil, lotion, or cream to replenish moisture. You can also use products from Holistic Emporium such as natural butters and oils like avocado oil or shea butter for deep hydration.
