"I love brushing my body every day," model Miranda Kerr writes on Instagram. The 37-year-old discovered dry brushing a long time ago and made it an integral part of her morning beauty routine. Why? "It improves blood circulation and serves as an exfoliant." A body brush and a few minutes in the morning are all it takes.
For a firmer and more radiant complexion
Dry brushing is a natural treatment that was practiced as early as the mid-19th century. The dry skin of the body is brushed from bottom to top in a circular motion with a natural brush. This stimulates blood circulation and lymph flow. Slag is removed and the body is naturally detoxified. The result is a radiant complexion.
This effect is supported by the peeling property of dry brushing. Dead skin cells are removed from the bristles, dirt is removed from the pores. Overall, the complexion looks finer and tighter over time.
So it is really brushed
Since dry brushing gets the body going, it makes sense to use the brush especially in the morning. The user can individually decide how often the treatment should take place. Three to four times a week for five minutes each is a good guide. Please note: always brush from bottom to top. Starting at the feet along the legs, over the hips and behind to the arms. Again, start with circular movements on the hands and finally work up to the chest. Irritated spots should be left out.
After the routine, wash off the dissolved, dead skin cells in the shower. A body cream then provides the skin with the necessary moisture.
