#1 What is dry body brushing?
As the name suggests, dry body brushing is the use of a natural bristle body brush to brush the body while dry. Essentially exfoliating the body before hitting the showers.
The benefits claimed by dry body brushing varies on who you speak to. Some claim that brushing helps to reduce cellulite, leaves the body feeling energized, and improves drainage of the lymphatic system. Although we can’t vouch for those benefits, our one month trial instantly left our skin feeling smoother on the first go!
