Dry brushing the skin is as easy as it sounds. The technique involves sweeping a bristled brush across the skin, from head to toe. It's not scrubbing while you bathe. Instead both your skin and the brush are completely dry. Some people even prefer applying body oil before dry brushing. It naturally helps in exfoliating and gives you smooth and soft skin. It is relatively old beauty trend which is being revived hence, people are getting inclined towards it. Sometimes, this technique is even part of body massage packages at spas.
Benefits Of Dry Brushing
1. Exfoliates The Skin
What is better than exfoliation to remove all the dead skin! The bristles of the brush manually sweep away dull, rough, flaky skin cells and give you smooth and supple skin.
2. Increased Circulation
Massages are known to increase blood circulation in general. Using a dry brush helps it along and stimulates circulation, making the skin more radiant.
Dry brushing helps in improving circulation
3. Clears Pores
This technique helps in clearing the pores and removing all the dirt and excess oil as well. When trying it on face, use a gentler and softer brush, which is also small in size to serve the purpose perfectly.
4. Rejuvenates The Skin
Exfoliation is a great way to gently rejuvenate the skin and give it a relaxing feel and sensation, while removing all the dead skin.
