Jan 16, 2024by Nathalia Mosquera

Welcome to Day 21 of our 30-Day Glow-Up Challenge! Today, we introduce you to the practice of dry brushing, a simple yet effective technique for exfoliating skin and boosting circulation. This age-old practice not only enhances skin health but also contributes to overall well-being.

What is Dry Brushing?

  • Purpose: Dry brushing involves using a dry, stiff-bristled brush to gently brush the skin in specific patterns.
  • Benefits: It exfoliates dead skin cells, improves lymphatic drainage, stimulates blood circulation, and can even help reduce cellulite.

How to Practice Dry Brushing

  • Tools Needed: A high-quality dry brush with natural bristles.
  • Technique: Start at your feet and move upwards towards your heart using gentle, upward strokes. Use circular motions on your abdomen and armpits.
  • Duration: Spend about 5-10 minutes dry brushing your entire body before showering.
  • Frequency: 2-3 times a week is sufficient for most people.
