The more you dry brush, the less sensitive your skin will be to it.
BENEFITS:Â Dry brushing is a powerful way to exfoliate and detoxify the skin. Dry brushes are typically made with firm, natural fibers that help exfoliate, invigorate and revitalize skin. The process is most known for removing dead skin cells, improving the texture of skin, and reducing the appearance of cellulite. Skin will look visibly re-energized.
MATERIALS:Â Solid wood handle, natural sisal fibres, natural rope.
This sisal fibre is derived from the agave plant. Its strength and durability make it the ideal material to help buff away dry skin and uneven skin texture.
HOW TO ENJOY:Â
1-3 Times Weekly - Before showering, gently buff your skin in an upward motion towards your heart and kidneys. Keep brush dry. After dry brushing hop in the shower or bath to clean off the skin.
Recommended Areas - For full body use.
- Give your skin a good brush by starting at your feet and working in upwards, sweeping motions towards your heart and kidneys. Spend a little extra time on your legs, bikini line and underarms for added benefit. This is a full body experience so make sure to get your entire body.
- After brushing, hop into the shower to rinse away dead skin cells.
- Recommended to combine with use of an Exfoliating Polish and Bushbalm Ingrown Treatment Oil for best results.
- Moisturize within 2 minutes of showering, as your skin will be best prepared to take on moisture. One of the Bushbalm hydrating oils is a great way to restore your skin's moisture post brushing, especially in newly shaved areas.
CARE:Â With regular use, you will need to clean your dry brush every few weeks (steps below). You should replace your dry brush every 3-6 months (or a reasonable period dependent on actual frequency of use), as dead skin cells will build up. Cleaning the bristles will help prolong the useful life of your skin brush, but the bristles will eventually soften and fall out, and you will need to replace in order to maintain the same level of benefits.
- Add water to a shallow bowl.
- Add some natural soap or tea tree oil drops into the water.
- Rub the brush into the water and soap, but avoid getting the wooden handle wet.
- After this, use another bowl with just water where you can rinse the bristles.
- Let the dry brush hang to dry completely.
FAQs:
- Can I use dry brush while pregnant? Please consult your doctor for the best advice on pregnancy. From our experience, it’s highly recommended to avoid your tummy, as during pregnancy you are looking to moisturize the skin as it expands. Dry brushing would exfoliate and is likely to cause irritation on the tummy. However, dry brushing other areas of your body is recommended to increase circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage. Again, listen to your body as during pregnancy you may have extra sensitive skin and dry brushing won’t be encouraged.
- Will this help me with razor bumps? To combat razor bumps it’s recommended to work on preventing them entirely. One method is to use a dry brush, usually made with more gentle jute material, to help draw out hairs in your skin. This can lead to better hair regrowth leading
to less razor burn and irritation.
- Can I use this dry brush on my face? It’s not recommended. To understand what option is best, look for face-specific dry brushes, as body brushes made of sisal or Jujutete will likely cause too much irritation to the face.
- Can I only use this dry brush before a shower? Try dry brushing before you begin a workout and you’ll find that it will help open up your pores and intensify the detox effect. Whether you are doing a HIIT class, running, spinning, or just headed to the gym, get out your dry brush a couple of minutes before you start the workout, and get the full benefit of sweating and detoxing your skin. Not ideal to brush damp, sweaty skin, so head straight to the shower after your workout and use your preferred exfoliating scrub as needed.
- Can I use the dry brush in the shower? No. Only allow your dry brush bristles to get wet when you need to clean them from regular use. Using the brush wet will not provide any of the benefits that dry skin brushing does.
END OF LIFE:Â With proper care your dry brush should last a reasonably long time. When it is no longer useful dispose of as biodegradable and compostable household waste.
