Renew You Dry Brush

Step 1: Dry brushing is most effective on dry skin, so make sure your body is completely dry before you start. You can use your dry brush before or after showering, whichever you prefer.

Step 2: Start with the feet - Start brushing the feet with upward strokes towards the heart. Use firm but gentle pressure as the goal is to exfoliate the skin and improve circulation, not to scrub the skin too hard.

Step 3: Move up the legs - Continue brushing in long, smooth movements up the legs, always brushing towards the heart. Work on the entire leg, front, back and sides. Be extra careful on sensitive areas.

Step 4: Continue with the arms - Start from the fingers and brush towards the heart. Brush the entire arm, including the forearms.

Step 5: Brush your upper body - Brush your stomach and chest in upward strokes, working towards your heart.

Wet the bristles of your dry brush thoroughly under lukewarm water. Avoid getting a lot of water on the wooden part of the brush as this can damage it over time.

Apply a small amount of mild soap to the bristles. An unscented liquid soap or mild baby shampoo is perfect for this.

Gently massage the bristles with your fingers.

Rinse the soap thoroughly out of the bristles under lukewarm water and make sure all the soap is washed away.

Gently press a clean towel against the bristles to remove excess water. Remember to be careful to avoid damaging the brush.

Finally, let the brush air dry. It's best to dry the brush with the hairs facing down so that all the water can drip off and evaporate.
