Benefits of dry brushing:
Detoxifying the skin
The mechanical action of dry brushing is excellent for exfoliating rough, dry skin. Dry brushing unclogs pores in the exfoliation process. It also helps detoxify your skin by increasing blood circulation and promoting lymph flow/drainage. Also, by unclogging pores, it’s easier for the body to sweat and eliminate toxins in your system.
Stimulating the nervous system
Dry brushing can make you feel good since it has the additional benefit of stimulating your nervous system. It can also leave you feeling invigorated like a massage often does. Giving your skin a more radiant glow.
Removing dead skin cells can help make your skin smoother and softer. It can also give your skin a brighter appearance.
Gentler on your skin than scrubbing in the shower
Hot water inflames your skin and even strips away oils, fats, and proteins that keep your skin healthy. This can cause redness and itching. Brushing your skin while it is dry allows you to exfoliate and increase blood circulation without robbing it of moisture the way the hot water in your shower can.

Giving your skin a more radiant glow
Removing dead skin cells can help make your skin smoother and softer. It can also give your skin a brighter appearance temporarily.
Avoid using a dry brush on your face since the skin is more sensitive than on the rest of your body.
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.
Using a natural bristled brush, start from the feet or ankles and work your way upward in long, fluid strokes on limbs.
Next, move the brush in a circular motion on your torso and back.
Since this process can be a little too much for sensitive areas like the abdomen, breasts and neck, lighten up the pressure as needed.
A few overlapping swipes per area is all you need. If you go over the same area for too long, you can cause irritation or bleeding.
Dry brush once a day and shower immediately afterward.
