Tired of lackluster, flaky, or dull skin? That's where dry brushing steps into the picture. For centuries, dry brushing has been used to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the lymphatic system, and promote a younger-looking complexion.
You don't want to miss out on the skin-smoothing benefits of dry exfoliation. So, let's get started!
Key Takeaways
Dry brushing involves using a brush to massage your skin when it is dry.
This technique can detoxify and exfoliate the skin while removing dead skin cells. It is believed that dry brushing can also boost blood flow and improve the lymphatic system.
Dry brushing is a fantastic way to polish and exfoliate your entire body.
After dry brushing, take a shower and apply oil and lotion. This will seal in moisture and nourish the skin.
Dry brushing, at its core, is what it sounds like: massaging your skin while it is dry with a brush.
Dry brushing has gained popularity in recent years, but it has been a valued part of beauty rituals and wellness routines for centuries. Variations of skin brushing were common in many cultures, like in ancient Greece and among the Cherokee Indians.
Dry brushing in today's world involves using a bristled brush on dry skin to remove dead skin cells, increase blood circulation, and stimulate the lymphatic system. It can help with the appearance of cellulite, flaky patches, and uneven skin tone.
Let's break down the benefits of dry brushing in a bit more detail.
#1. Detoxifies and Exfoliates the Skin
Dry brushing relies on mechanical action to exfoliate the skin. This physical exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and smooth rough patches.
It's important to remove any built-up dead skin or flaky patches, as this can lead to a dull and dry appearance.
In addition to exfoliating, dry brushing can also detoxify the skin. By removing buildup and unclogging pores, dry brushing can make it easier for your body to eliminate toxins through sweat.
It also increases cell turnover, promotes radiant skin, and reveals a smoother texture.
#2. Can Improve Lymphatic Drainage
Let's continue talking about the detoxification benefits of dry brushing.
Dry brushing can be used as a form of lymphatic drainage massage, which can improve the blood flow to the surface and deep veins in your skin.
This can help move waste and toxins towards your lymph nodes.
#3. Can Boost Blood Flow
Since dry brushing can be used in lymphatic drainage and massage techniques, it's believed that it can also help with blood flow. The slight pressure and gentle massage that is involved in dry brushing can boost blood circulation and stimulate blood flow.
This helps oxygen-rich blood reach your skin and tissues, promoting overall function and improving appearance. This is also a great way to boost energy levels and ease inflammatory skin conditions.
By removing dead skin cells, improving blood flow, and unclogging pores, you'll be able to experience an improvement in the tone, appearance, and texture of your skin.
How to Dry Brush: Dry Brushing Techniques and Tips
You know the benefits of dry brushing, but do you know the techniques? Let us break down a step-by-step guide for you.
Pick your dry brush. An often overlooked step, it's important to pick a dry brush that is effective and enjoyable. For example, a softer brush is ideal for sensitive skin, while a long-handled brush is better for hard-to-reach areas.
Start at your feet and move up. Work your way up, starting at your feet before moving to your legs, then torso, then arms. Think about starting from the areas farthest from your heart, before slowly reaching your heart.
Use long strokes in a circular motion. This will act as a massage that provides all the benefits we mentioned earlier! Be cautious in sensitive areas like the breasts, neck, and stomach, and don't linger in one area for too long.
Take a shower. After you finish dry brushing, take a lukewarm (not hot!) shower to remove the leftover dead cells, debris, and bacteria.
Just be careful if you have overly dry or easily irritated skin. Tough bristles or a thorough massage can lead to irritation, redness, or sensitivity in some people. Over-exfoliation or aggressive massage can also damage your skin barrier.
Try dry brushing once or twice, see how your skin reacts, and then decide if you should keep doing it.
There are a few ways you can make the most of your dry brushing session. For starters, make sure your skin is dry and prepped. Work your way up using circular motions, and be gentle in the sensitive areas of your body. After dry brushing, take a soothing shower and apply a nourishing body lotion.
How Often Should You Dry Brush?
That's up to you!
If you have thin or sensitive skin, once a week should be satisfactory. If you have oily or dry skin, dry brushing more often, even daily, can help polish and smooth your skin.
In general, start dry brushing once or twice a week before upping the frequency until you find the sweet spot.
Do I Dry Brush Before or After Showering?
As a general rule of thumb, dry brushing is performed before showering.
It's an excellent way to slough off dead skin cells and debris, prepping your skin for the remainder of your skincare routine. That way, your exfoliating skin scrub and body wash can penetrate your pores and lift away the remaining bacteria and dead cells.
