Make your skin more beautiful by dry brushing

If we are to believe Pinterest, dry brushing will be one of this year's beauty hype. Pinterest saw a 41 percent increase in the number of pins about dry brushing in 2015. But what is it and how can it make your skin more beautiful?

What is dry brushing? Dry brushing is the dry brushing of your skin. You use a special brush with soft bristles for this. Because you brush your skin and stimulate blood circulation, your skin would become softer and more radiant.

How does dry brushing work?
Brush your dry skin, for example before taking a shower. The idea is that you brush towards your heart. You start at your feet and ankles and slowly brush up through your arms and stomach to your neck. Brush down from your neck. Just like you brush your upper back down. Don't brush too hard, you don't want to damage the skin. Skip your face. If you want to clean your face with a brush, do so with a special facial brush.

Advantages of dry brushing

  • You remove dead skin cells, making your skin look less dull.
  • You give yourself a mini-massage while brushing, so it can very well become your relaxing moment of the day.
  • You stimulate your lymphatic system and circulation.
