3 Reasons to Embrace Dry Brushing This Winter

Winter is almost upon us, and soon, it will become frightfully cold out there. Between the cold outside air and dry indoor heating, your skin will most likely experience dehydration. This means there is much to be done to nurture and protect your skin. You must cleanse away dead cells so new cells can grow, creating healthier, smoother, silky, soft skin. Many people swear by dry brushing—taking a brush and gently sweeping it over the body regularly to keep your skin soft, smooth, and radiant.

Dry Brushing Face

Dry brushing may sound unusual initially, but much like swapping traditional to non toxic deodorant, it becomes second nature once you become accustomed to it. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without dry brushing!

What is Dry Brushing?

Dry brushing is an ancient technique and wellness treatment aimed at helping your skin and body. Dry brushing has many benefits, and it’s easy to do!

Here’s how to do it:

• Most dry brushes aren’t meant to get wet, so it’s best to dry brush before your shower when your skin is dry.

• Take your dry brush and gently massage your body in circular motions, starting at your feet. Apply slight pressure throughout and adjust to your preference.

• Make your way up the body, from your calves and thighs (don’t forget the backsides) up to the lower back, abdomen, and chest. Finish with your arms, moving from the hands, shoulders, and neck.

• Avoid dry brushing face skin using a body dry brush as your skin may be too sensitive; opt for a facial dry brush instead as they have gentler bristles.

Take your time and lighten pressure if dry brushing irritates your skin. After each use, tap the brush to remove old skin cells and debris, and check your brush’s care instructions on how to clean it properly. Post-shower, follow up with a moisturizing body butter or natural body oil to nourish your new skin.

Why Dry Brush in the Winter?

Dry brushing should be done year-round, but winter is the perfect time to start, as dry skin rules the cold winter. This is your sign to make room for dry brushing in your routine because this simple practice is the extra step that delivers revitalized winter-proof skin.

• Excels at Exfoliation

Dry brushing is another form of exfoliation or removing some of the dead skin cells from its surface. Removing the dead cells that give your skin a dry, lackluster look can significantly improve its appearance, giving it an enhanced glow.

• Increases Circulation

Dry brushing your skin helps increase circulation and promote blood flow so skin cells can turn over and renew. Poor blood circulation can result in blotchiness, dark spots, and slow scar healing. Regular dry brushing can result in a more even skin tone and improved skin texture.

• Promotes Detoxification

The mechanical action of dry brushing can help your body detoxify by increasing blood circulation and promoting lymphatic drainage. Dry brushing also helps unclog pores and stimulates your nervous system, helping you feel invigorated and refreshed.
