Steps of Dry Facial Brushing
How to Dry Brush the Face
Use gentle upward movement to lift the facial muscles and lightly curve brush down to finish with a light brush stroke. It is in an upside down U shape. Light pressure up and soft stroke down.
Starting from left to right side of face, work your way up the face from chin, lips, cheeks, nose and forehead.
Be careful never to stretch the skin. The first couple of months be extra gentle, the sensation should be pleasantly stimulating.
Stop immediately if it doesn’t feel good or your skin has an allergic reaction.
At first the whole procedure should only take about 30 seconds, gradually increase the time to one, two and finally three minutes for a great massage to the face.
Hygiene is important with dry skin brushing, as so much dead skin cells sloughs off and works it’s way into the brush bristles. Therefore, if brushing daily, clean brush every 3-4 days and if brushing approximately three days a week, clean the brush once a week. To clean your dry skin brush, wash in hot soapy water and leave in the sun to dry. For an even greater clean wash bristles in an antibacterial soap in hot water and soak in disinfectant for 5 minutes, rinse and leave in the sun to dry. (Please note: these are hygiene steps for your personal body brush, which you use at home)
