If you’ve ever craved smoother skin, a natural glow, or a deeper connection with your body, dry brushing might be your new favorite ritual.
Rooted in ancient practices and loved in modern wellness circles, dry brushing is more than just exfoliation — it’s a powerful tool to support lymphatic flow, energise your body, and bring a moment of mindfulness to your day.
What Is Dry Brushing?
Dry brushing is exactly what it sounds like — brushing your dry skin using a natural-bristled brush in upward, sweeping motions. But this isn’t just a skincare step. It’s a ritual that awakens the body, stimulates circulation, and helps your lymphatic system move with ease.
Your lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like your heart — it relies on movement and muscle contractions to keep fluids flowing. That’s where dry brushing shines. It’s a simple, effective way to show your lymph some love.
What Are the Benefits?
Done regularly, dry brushing can:
Gently exfoliate dry, flaky skin
Encourage lymphatic drainage and detox support
Boost blood circulation
Improve skin texture and tone
Help reduce puffiness and water retention
Leave you feeling revitalised and uplifted
It's like a reset button for your skin — and your energy.
When & How To Do It
When?Aim for 2 to 4 times a week, ideally in the morning before you shower or bathe. That’s when your body is ready for a little activation and your skin can benefit most.
How?
Start with completely dry skin
Use long, gentle strokes toward the heart
Begin at your feet and move upward
Use circular motions on joints and belly
Avoid broken or sensitive skin
Rinse off in the shower and follow with your favourite body oil or lotion
