Bearback Dry Brush Instructions
Dry brushing is a simple yet effective technique for exfoliating your skin, promoting circulation, and lymphatic drainage. Here's how to use your Bearback Dry Brush for a rejuvenating experience:
Brushing Technique:
- Start Dry: Ensure your skin is completely dry before brushing.
- Gentle Strokes: Begin brushing with long, gentle strokes towards your heart. This helps stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
- Focus Areas: Start at your feet and brush upwards in sections, covering your legs, buttocks, back, abdomen (in a circular motion), chest, and arms. You can use your dry brush handheld or attached to the handle for extended reach.
- Light Pressure: Apply light to medium pressure. Avoid brushing over irritated or broken skin.
- Brushing Frequency: It's recommended to dry brush 2-3 times a week.
Additional Tips:
- Brush Cleaning: After each use, clean your brush with mild soap and water. Let it air dry completely before storing.
- Post-Brushing: After dry brushing, take a warm shower to remove dead skin cells. Apply a moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
- Listen to Your Body: If you experience any discomfort or irritation, stop brushing and consult a dermatologist.
Here are some extra pointers to maximize your dry brushing experience:
- Morning or Night: You can dry brush in the morning for an invigorating start or at night for a relaxing routine.
- Brushing Direction: Always brush towards your heart to promote lymphatic drainage.
- Sensitive Skin: If you have sensitive skin, start with short brushing sessions and gradually increase the duration.
- Relax and Breathe: Focus on your breath and relax your body while brushing.
By following these steps and tips, you can incorporate dry brushing into your self-care routine and enjoy its potential benefits for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
