How do you dry brush for beginners?
When dry brushing the body, brush the limbs and torso. Start at your feet, move up the legs, then work from arms to chest. Every brush motion should be directed towards the heart. Start by brushing the skin gently until it becomes conditioned to tolerate a firmer hand.
How often should you dry brush?
When should I dry brush? Dr. Engelman suggests dry brushing every day to see results. She recommends dry brushing to her patients, but cautions that it's possible to over-exfoliate if you're using extreme pressure on sensitive skin.
