Hand-held body brush, perfect for exfoliating to achieve soft, smooth and glowing skin. › Suitable for all skin types › Made of luxurious walnut wood and 100% natural vegan sisal bristle › Diameter of brush: 100mm / Length of bristles: 30mm Dry body brushing gives your body a boost by smoothing your skin, removing unwanted dry areas and cellulite, increasing circulation and stimulating drainage from your lymphatic system. This Ayurvedic technique uses a bristled brush to buff the skin, removing dead skin cells so your skin appears healthier and products such as moisturisers are absorbed more easily. With better circulation and lymphatic system function, your skin will feel softer, smoother and more youthful. HOW TO USE 1. Start at your feet and move up your body using long sweeping strokes upwards with medium to firm pressure. Start at the back of the foot and ankles and use your hand to smooth over the skin after brushing up towards the hip. 2. As you brush, imagine the lymph fluid moving up your body where it will re-enter your bloodstream around your chest area. 3. Use circular motions towards the heart to aid circulation with some emphasis on your stomach to aid digestion. Brush every area of your body that you can reach except your face. For hygiene purposes and enhanced circulation, brush your arms after your feet, legs, and midsection. Be sure to always brush upward towards your armpits. When brushing the arms, brush from the hand, stroking in the direction from the hand towards the elbow and shoulder. EXTRA TIPS For energising benefits, incorporate body brush in your daily ritual before showering, morning and night. Use light pressure in areas where your skin is thin and firmer pressure on thicker skin, like the soles of your feet. Take special care of sensitive areas of your body. Avoid brushing if you have sunburn, broken or irritated skin, moles, acne or other skin conditions. For best results, we recommend moisturising your body with your favourite Sodashi body products when it is damp to seal in the excess water. AFTERCARE Once you finish brushing, take a lukewarm shower to wash away the dead skin cells (brushing is fantastic to combine with steam or sauna sessions too). Use a gentle body wash, avoiding exfoliators as the body brushing has already done the job. Dry off with a soft towel and consider adding body lotion or body oil to moisturise your skin. Notice how your skin accepts the lotion/oil readily and feels smooth and supple. The skin may look pink, but it should never be red or sting. The pinkness is a positive sign of increased circulation. To remove dead skin cells from the brush, wash it after every use with shampoo. Allow it to dry facing down to ensure the water does not sit on the wood, which can cause discolouration.
