General Rules of Dry Skin Brushing
Always use a natural bristle skin brush.
Perform on Dry Skin only.
Generally stroke upward in one movement.
Light strokes repeated 7 times.
Adjust pressure to your comfort levels.
Best to follow brushing with some form of hydrotherapy i.e. shower or bath
Don’t brush more than you need to. Over doing it does not mean better results.
Steps of Dry Body Brushing
Start at soles of feet, stroking body brush from toes to heel, follow each brush stroke with a soothing sweep of the other hand.
Continue on top of foot from toes to ankles and then up the leg, ensuring to cover entire leg.
Move to buttocks, starting at top of buttock, brush down to the gluteal fold (where buttock joins the leg) and sweep back again to top.
Then from base of buttock sweep upward to outside of hip and work up the back and over the shoulder.
Brush abdomen, hands, arms and chest, ensuring to avoid breasts and genitalia area.
A slight reddening of the skin (erythema) is normal, it is the blood circulation responding to the skin brushing.
Hygiene is important with dry skin brushing, as so much dead skin cells sloughs off and works it’s way into the brush bristles. Therefore, if brushing daily, clean brush every 3-4 days and if brushing approximately three days a week, clean the brush once a week. To clean your dry skin brush, wash in hot soapy water and leave in the sun to dry. For an even greater clean wash bristles in an antibacterial soap in hot water and soak in disinfectant for 5 minutes, rinse and leave in the sun to dry. (Please note: these are hygiene steps for your personal body brush, which you use at home)
If you body brush daily it is recommended to replace it with a new brush every 4-6 months.
Make sure to consider all bristle types before you purchase your next brush because you may
find you want a firmer/ softer bristle or different brush shape, depending on your situation.
