The dry brushing massage is a special technique where the skin is massaged with a natural bristle brush using circular or sweeping motions. It stimulates circulation, promotes lymphatic flow, and removes dead skin cells, making the skin appear smoother and firmer.

Bristles move over the skin and may remove loose dead skin cells. The diagram does not depict toxin removal.

Questions & answers

Häufige Fragen

What does dry brushing mean?

Dry brushing means moving a brush over dry skin without water or massage oil. Its main features are mechanical stimulation of the skin and removal of loose skin flakes. Brushing in the shower is a wet variation.

Can brushing permanently remove cellulite?

There is no reliable evidence that it can. Exfoliation may temporarily make the skin feel smoother, but it does not permanently remove the connective tissue structure behind cellulite dimples. Detoxification through brushing has not been established either.
