Le brossage à sec : mode d’emploi

Why adopt dry brushing?

Because in just a few minutes, this simple gesture stimulates, drains, and exfoliates the skin. Practiced every day before showering, this ritual offers numerous benefits:

  • It activates blood and lymphatic circulation, for lighter legs and better elimination of toxins. It's the ideal gesture for anyone who suffers from water retention or heavy legs when the temperatures rise. Quick and easy to perform, dry brushing provides an immediate feeling of lightness!

  • It gently exfoliates the skin and acts like a scrub, removing dead cells from the skin's surface. The result: softer skin and improved cell regeneration.

  • It improves skin texture: Dry brushing helps break down fatty deposits and reduce the signs of cellulite and orange peel skin by improving lymph circulation. To see all the benefits, a balanced diet is of course key!

Dry brushing: the right way

A few simple rules to get the most out of the practice:

  • The movements are always carried out from bottom to top (going up towards the heart).

  • Start with the feet and gradually move up: legs, stomach, arms.

  • Brush on dry skin only, without oil or cream.

  • Use slow, firm movements with light pressure.

  • Use a brush with soft bristles that are gentle on all skin types, even the most sensitive: the Brush & Glow body brush has been specially designed to combine effectiveness and softness.

When and how long?

1 to 2 minutes a day is enough to see results quickly, provided you're consistent. The best time? Just before your shower and on dry skin.

Good to know

  • Avoid brushing if you have very reactive, irritated or damaged skin or if you have skin prone to eczema or psoriasis.

  • Clean your brush regularly: rub it gently with your hand or with a towel

  • Use light pressure, especially on sensitive areas such as the stomach or décolleté.
