Dry Body Brush by Iris Hantverk

$43.00

 

The Dry Body Brush by Iris Hantverk provides a luxurious bathing experience, with oak and horsehair for the best comfort and durability. A handle is attached to this bath brush which makes it easy to use while performing daily cleaning rituals. Horsehair is very soft and flexible but strong and durable too, which makes it the best material for bathing brushes. When combined with good soap, the body brush creates a soft and comfortable lather that ensures thorough cleaning without irritating the skin.

It measures 39 cm long, 4 cm wide, and 7 cm high so as to cover wider areas during use for maximum comfort. On top of that, it only weighs 130 g thus making it lightweight enough for easy handling.

For the longevity of the brush, always ensure that it dries well after every use. To do this, hang or stand it with its horsehair downwards so that water drips off easily from the wood part which is more vulnerable to moisture. In addition, sprinkle cornstarch onto the dry brush once per week rubbing against any excess oil or dirt, then shake away the rest of the amount left behind.

A Guide To Using A Dry Body Brush

Using a dry body brush can have many benefits from exfoliation to circulation. This article will cover the benefits of dry body brushing, and how to use a dry body brush correctly. Whether you're new to dry body brushing or want to improve your technique this guide has it all.

 

What Are The Benefits Of Dry Body Brushing?
 

Exfoliation

One of the benefits of using a dry body brush is exfoliation. Dry body brushing removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin which can leave your skin smoother and more radiant. By removing these dead cells, you also prevent clogged pores and reduce the risk of acne. Regular exfoliation with a body brush will leave your skin feeling fresh and new.

Improved Circulation

Dry body brushing stimulates blood flow and circulation. The brushing motion increases blood and oxygen to the skin's surface which can help healthier-looking skin and the body's natural healing process. Circulation can also give you more energy throughout the day.

Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system is responsible for removing toxins and waste from the body. Dry body brushing stimulates lymphatic drainage by moving lymphatic fluid. This can reduce bloating and detoxification. Brushing in the direction of the lymph flow helps the body’s natural detox process.

Cellulite Reduction

Results may vary from person to person but many users have reported a reduction in cellulite after regular dry body brushing. The stimulation from the body brush can break down fat deposits and improve skin texture. Combining dry body brushing with a healthy diet and exercise will give you better results.

Stress Relief

Dry body brushing can be quite therapeutic. The gentle brushing can help release muscle tension and calm the mind. Add dry body brushing to your self care routine to wind down after a long day.

 

How To Use A Brush For Your Body
 

Choose The Right Body Brush

Choosing the right dry body brush is key to good dry brushing. The Body Brush by Iris Hantverk is an excellent choice for a luxurious bathing experience. This brush is crafted from oak and horsehair, providing both comfort and durability. The handle on this bath brush makes it easy to use during your daily self care routines.

Horsehair is soft and flexible but also strong and durable, perfect for body brushes. With good soap this dry body brush creates a soft and gentle lather, so you get a good clean without irritating the skin. The brush is 39 cm long, 4 cm wide, and 7 cm high so you can cover more area for maximum comfort. Weighing only 130 g, it is lightweight enough for easy handling.

Start At The Feet And Work Upwards

When dry brushing, start at your feet and work your way up to your heart. This helps to increase circulation and lymphatic drainage. Start at the feet, use long strokes, and work your way up to cover all areas of your body. 

Use Light Pressure

For best results use light pressure. Too much pressure can irritate the skin and make it uncomfortable. Gentle and consistent strokes are more effective in exfoliating the skin and stimulating circulation without harming it. Adjust the pressure according to your skin sensitivity and comfort level.

Brush In The Direction Of Lymph Flow

To get the most out of your dry body brush, brush in the direction of the lymph flow. This usually means brushing towards your heart. This way you support the natural flow of lymphatic fluid and detoxification. Brushing in this direction will ensure you're promoting lymphatic drainage and making your brushing routine more effective.

Pay Attention To Sensitive Areas

Dry brushing can be very beneficial for self care but be gentle on your body. Sensitive areas like the stomach and inner thighs are more delicate, so adjust your technique accordingly. Use lighter pressure in these areas to avoid irritation and discomfort. Be gentle on sensitive spots to keep the experience positive and soothing. 

How Often Should You Do Dry Body Brushing?

Dry brush two to three times a week to get the most out of it. This frequency will give you consistent exfoliation and circulation without overloading your skin. Adjust according to your skin's response and personal preference. Consistency is key to getting the best results from your dry body brush and healthy skin.

 

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects of Using Dry Body Brushes?
 

Skin Irritation

While dry body brushing is good for you, be aware of skin irritation. Overbrushing or using a body brush with too-hard bristles can cause redness or discomfort. To avoid irritation, use gentle strokes and choose a body brush with soft flexible bristles for your skin type.

Infection

Poor hygiene or a dirty brush can cause infection. Always make sure your dry body brush is clean and dry before use. Clean your body brush with mild soap and water and dry thoroughly.

Allergic Reactions

Some people may be allergic to the materials used in body brushes. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort stop using and consult a healthcare professional. Choose a body brush made from hypoallergenic materials if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

 

Can Anyone Try It?
 

Pregnant Women

Pregnant women can use a dry body brush but it's best to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new skincare routine. Pregnant women should use gentle pressure and avoid sensitive areas like the belly.

People With Skin Conditions

If you have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis consult a dermatologist before using a dry body brush. They can advise if dry body brushing is suitable for your skin type and give you recommendations.

People With Certain Medical Conditions

People with certain medical conditions like varicose veins or chronic skin conditions should also consult a healthcare professional before using dry body brushing. They can tell you if dry body brushing is safe for you and your condition.
 

Dry body brushing is a simple yet effective practice and by choosing the right dry body brush, such as the Body Brush by Iris Hantverk, and following proper techniques, you can enhance your skincare routine and promote overall well-being. Remember to be gentle, and be mindful of any potential risks. Incorporate dry body brushing into your routine with care, and enjoy the rejuvenating effects it brings to your skin and body.
