Step-by-Step Guide for Dry Brushing Your Face
Step 1: Start with a Clean, Dry Brush and Face
Make sure your face is completely clean and dry. Use a clean, dry brush specifically designed for facial dry brushing.
Step 2: Begin at the Chin and Neck
Start at your chin and gently brush downward along your neck towards your lymphatic drainage ducts. These ducts are located just above your collarbones.
Step 3: Jawline and Ears
Move along your jawline, starting from your chin and brushing towards your ears. Then, follow the brush down your neck towards the lymphatic drainage points.
Step 4: Cheeks and Temples
From the center of your face, gently brush outwards towards your temples. Use gentle strokes to avoid irritation on the sensitive skin around your cheeks.
Step 5: Around the Mouth and Nose
Carefully brush around your mouth in small, gentle strokes. Starting from the bridge of your nose, brush downwards towards your cheeks, again being mindful of the sensitive areas.
Step 6: Under Eyes and Brow Area
Begin at the middle of your brow and brush along your brow line, moving towards your temples. Then, gently brush under your eyes, starting from the outer corners and moving inward towards your nose.
Step 7: Forehead
Brush your forehead in upward and outward strokes, starting from the middle of your forehead and moving towards your temples.
Step 8: Brush Down the Neck
Finish by brushing everything down from your face towards your neck, following the natural lymphatic flow back to the lymphatic ducts near your collarbone.
Step 9: Cleanse Your Face
After completing the dry brushing routine, wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dead skin cells and impurities that have been lifted by the brush.
For best results, follow with a toner and moisturizer to lock in hydration. Dry brushing is a gentle, yet powerful way to support your skin’s natural detoxification process, leaving your complexion looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
