Dry Skin Brushing – Step By Step Guide On Caring For Your Dry Skin

In order to keep your skin clean and healthy, you should try to regularly indulge in dry skin brushing. Constant skin brushing can help to improve your skin health and it helps to stimulate lymph and blood circulation for the removal of impurities under the skin surface. This has the effect of enhancing the overall surface circulation of the skin.

Steps To Skin Brushing

1. The body has to be totally dry and naked.

2. Using a natural fiber brush or loofah sponge, brush skin once or twice in the same direction, across every surface of the body except the face.

3. Do not scrub, massage, or rotate the brush on the body; just sweep it across the skin in long smooth strokes in the direction of the heart.

4. Brush up the arms from hands to shoulders, up the legs from feet to hops, down the back and torso, up the bullocks, down the neck, and across the shoulders.

The ideal time to indulge in dry skin brushing is before you go for a shower. The skin will experience a warm reddish glow, and you can feel the circulation increasing to those areas brushed.

What Sort Of Skin Brush To Use?

The brush size should be about the size of your hand with a moderately soft natural vegetable fiber bristle. Nylon or synthetic fibers are not recommended as they are quite sharp and can hurt your skin.

The brushes usually are about 5″ long and 3″ wide. They also have a 12″ to 14″ handle that attaches to the brush for applications to those hard to reach spots. You can easily purchase these skin brushes from cosmetic stores or health food stores. Better still, try to get it on ebay :) Brushing Prevents Skin Aging
