Dry Body Brush

Dry body brushing is a simple self-massage with a dry brush. The mechanical action of dry brushing exfoliates the skin, keeping it smooth and supple. It helps increase blood circulation and ease lymph flow/drainage. Dry brushing releases flaky skin and unclogs pores. It also stimulates your nervous system, which is why you’ll feel invigorated afterward.

• Exfoliates and brightens the skin, keeping it supple, smooth and healthy, with a luminous appearance.
• Helps detoxify by increasing blood circulation, activating the lymph flow and easing drainage.
• Combats effectively puffiness and water retention.
• Unclogs the pores and purifies the skin, ridding it of dead skin cells and flakiness.
• Stimulates the nervous system, which is why you'll feel invigorated afterward.

We recommend using the brush with softer jute fibre for sensitive skins. Never brush over skin that is broken, which includes cuts, scrapes, lesions, sores or burned skin, including sunburns. Don’t ever brush over areas of infection, redness or general irritation, inflammation, cellulitis or skin cancer. Stop dry brushing if skin becomes irritated or inflamed. Not recommended for use on your face.

Brushing the skin while it is dry allows you to exfoliate and increase blood circulation without robbing it of moisture, as the hot water in the shower can. Use gentle but firm, long sweeping strokes without too much pressure. Start brushing at the bottom of your feet, always moving upwards towards your heart. A body brushing ritual should last around 3–5 min. Dry body brushing each morning awakens and energises your body. For a more relaxing and calming session, body brush in the evening using slow strokes. Follow-up with Laska’s rich body butter for a voluptuous finish to your ritual.

The best time to dry brush is just before a shower. Then you can wash off any dead skin cells and flaky skin. Be sure to apply lotion afterward to put moisture back into your skin for full comfort.

After each body brushing, lightly run your palms over the bristles to remove any remaining skin particles left on the brush. Wash the brush with warm water and a gentle soap. Don’t soak and leave the whole brush in water. Rinse the brush and shake out excess water. Hang it from the cord with the bristles pointing down whilst drying. Do not leave your brush in water or a damp environment for extended periods to prevent the development of fungus or mould.

Body brushing is а traditional health ritual used worldwide for millennia by Egyptians, аncient Greeks, Japanese and American Indians. It is part of the traditional Indian Ayurvedic treatment called „Garshana“.
