I started dry brushing a little over a year ago. When I do it consistently every day before showering I've noticed real results. When I do it maybe 2-3x per week, not so much. What results can you expect? Some dry brushing claims include:
- Opens the pores on your skin
- Sloughs off dry skin
- Promotes tighter skin, cell renewal and blood flow
- Helps release toxins and aids in digestion and kidney function
- Gives your skin a glowy, smooth complexion
I know some people believe it also helps with cellulite. I'm not sure I've noticed that, but hey anything can help in that department!
How to dry brush:
Here's the key... the brush needs to be dry! Sometimes I'm in such a rush that I forget and I've already jumped in the shower. Brush only toward your heart with long sweeps. Don't go back and forth, scrub or do any circular motions. For my arms, I tend to just hold them up and brush down toward my heart. Scrub everything! At first it feels a little weird, but once you get into the habit, you'll love how it feels.
What I've noticed:
When I dry brush regularly, my skin really is smooth and after a shower, putting on lotion, really does give it that glowy look. In fact, my boyfriend commented a few times how soft my skin is that I finally told him I think it was the dry brushing. That is always a good sign something is working when someone notices!
Have you tried dry brushing? What results have you seen?
