Here are my dry brushing steps by steps:
Start before you shower and before your skin gets wet…of course do not get the brush wet.
Scrub in gentle circular motions starting at your ankles and work your way up.
Always brush toward your heart. In ayurvedic teachings, they say the lymphatic systems flows through your body toward your heart. MORE INFO
The back is the only exception, brush from your neck to your lower back.
Then, shower and finish with a good moisturizer. I love using coconut oil. I also like to add in my favorite essential oil such as rosehip, lavender, or tea tree oil.
