• How Does it Work? It goes without saying that dry brushing exfoliates the skin by removing dry, dead skin, but it works wonders for the inside of your body too.
• In a similar vein to massaging, dry brushing kickstarts your lymphatic system and helps remove toxins from your body.
• It also unclogs your pores so your skin can breathe easier and the process smooths out the appearance of cellulite too.
• Most professionals suggest doing it pre-shower So standing in your shower before you turn on the water might be the perfect time and place to do it.

Start at the bottom and work your way up using long sweeping motions towards the heart. Brush over the same areas several times, but avoid scrubbing.

On your tummy you can use circular, clockwise movements.

Once you’re brushed from your toes to your top – be careful of the more sensitive areas like your stomach and chest.

Have a shower, pat yourself dry and moisturise with a cream or oil.

TEMEAYE dry skin brushing tips:

Start out gentle: Make sure that the dry brushing is done softly in the initial stages so that soreness is avoided.

Application of a little more pressure can be done as your skin gets used to dry brushing.

Use on dry skin: Make sure to brush completely dry skin only. Shower after skin brushing to remove exfoliated skin.

Wounds: Do not do any skin brushing over cuts, wounds or rashes.

Brush towards the Heart:

The brush strokes should move towards your heart.

This improvement in blood circulation is why so many people feel extremely refreshed after an energetic session of dry brushing.

The Body Brush Tips and Advice:

• When selecting a body brush, the shape is important because it will determine where on your body you can reach. A brush with a small handle is great for easily accessible parts of your body, such as your arms and legs. However, you will have to bend in order to reach your lower half. However, a body brush with a long handle is ideal for reaching your back, or the bottom half of your legs if you have trouble reaching that area.
• The bristles of the body brush are key. You don’t want to get anything too soft, as that will not provide you with the benefits you need. However, bristles that are too stiff may irritate and hurt your skin. Opt for something in the middle in terms of firmness. Bristles can be made from natural material.

Fun Fact

• When brushing your skin, it’s best to brush towards the heart. This means that if you’re brushing your arms, you should start near your fingers and brush towards your shoulder. It’s best to use small and firm brush strokes. You can also use a circular motion where you have more room, such as on your back or stomach. Be sure not to press too hard, as this can hurt your skin. If you break the skin or cause any irritation, it’s best to take a break till your skin heals.
