How to Dry Skin Brush
• Always use a light pressure
• Skin must be dry to do a brush.
• Brush sensitive areas lightly. You know you’re brushing too hard if it hurts.
• Brush areas like your legs and arms with a firmer touch.
• Use circular or long brushing strokes depending on the area of the body.
• Lightly brush each area with just a few strokes. This should be enough to give that area a reddish or pink color.

Don’t:

• Brush wet skin or your face.
• Brush cut, sunburned, irritated, or bruised areas.
