How To: Dry Brush for Exfoliation

You always need to exfoliate your skin to rid yourself of dead skin cells.  One technique to employ to exfoliate is dry brushing.  You may have heard of it, but never got into it because you weren't sure what it entailed.  Well, here is a great and simple start to dry brushing:

1.  Find a body brush with soft and natural bristles.  You don't want something with really stiff bristles; you don't want to scratch yourself!

2.  Start at the ankles, brushing upwards.  Brush over each spot seven times, always brushing towards the heart:  you're also promoting circulation!

3.  Work over your entire body - avoiding those areas with thinner skin like the chest and face.

Feel free to do this every day!  This helps keep dead skin cells from building up and helps keep your skin glowing!
