Skin Brushing Tips

Treatments are always done on dry skin to achieve the best results.

Start with a firm, natural bristle dry brush. There are various types of natural fiber body brushes that are widely available.  This brush should be kept dry and not used for bathing.

This pleasurable easy treatment will quickly become an addicting way to start your day- easily fitting into one’s beauty or grooming regimen just prior to your bath or shower.  This method is an invigorating exfoliation that promotes circulation and it will leave your skin smooth and silky.

Vary the pressure to your comfort or requirement. Pay particular attention to thin and sensitive areas, cellulite-prone areas, and rough areas such as elbows and knees.
