Dry brushing involves running a bristled brush over dry skin
Beauty experts and medical professionals describe dry brushing as an Ayurvedic practice that uses a bristled brush on dry skin to move the lymphatic system.
The technique and its origins
The act involves running a bristled brush across the body while working against gravity. Users typically move toward their torso on limbs to help circulate fluids. This method is commonly performed on the body rather than the face.
Reported health benefits
Proponents claim the practice physically exfoliates skin and eliminates strawberry skin. They also say it increases blood flow and potentially diminishes the appearance of circulation. Functional health doctors and medical professionals support these claims alongside celebrity endorsements.
Popular product examples
Several brands offer specific tools for this routine including options with copper bristles or natural materials. Prices for these brushes range from twenty-five dollars to sixty-nine dollars depending on the handle length. Some products are designed specifically for comfortable handling during the exfoliation process.
