Dry Skin Brushing

Detoxification is the underlying principal behind ancient healing practices. You may not realize it but you skin is an organ designed to aid in detoxification of bodily systems. Did you know 25% of all toxins are released through the skin? Always use a natural bristle brush for dry skin brushing. Both classic and functional natural bristles do not scratch the skin like synthetic bristles. While this type of brush offers gentle deep pore cleansing as a bath brush, brushing wet skin does not offer the same therapeutic effects as dry skin brushing. It is recommended to choose either dry or wet use for the brush. Once the bristles become wet they are no longer suited for the purpose of dry skin brushing. Cleaning a dry brush is recommended at least once a week using rubbing alcohol and a cotton cloth.
