It’s best to perform dry brushing right before a shower or bath, with completely dry skin.

What are the benefits?

It is thought to exfoliate and smooth the skin, plus increase circulation, detoxify and encourage lymphatic drainage.

How often should you practice dry brushing?

It depends on the sensitivity of your skin, but generally no more than once or twice a week.
