Before your first session
Pick a calm time
Most people brush right before showering. Set aside two to five minutes so you can move slowly and evenly across your body.
Skin should be clean and dry
For dry brushing, your skin and the bristles must both be fully dry. No lotions, oils, or wet skin during a dry session.
Slip your hand through the strap
Pass your fingers under the elastic strap with the bristles facing your skin. The strap holds the brush in place so your wrist stays relaxed.
Start with light pressure
The bristles will feel firm at first. Use a soft touch on your first session. You will build comfort and tolerance over a week or two.
Always brush toward your heart
Body brushing follows the natural flow of your lymphatic system. Long, upward, sweeping strokes from your extremities toward your chest help support circulation and drainage. Avoid scrubbing back and forth, and avoid downward strokes on your limbs.
How to dry brush
Dry brushing is your everyday routine. Skin is dry, brush is dry, no soap, no water. Done before showering so loose dead skin can rinse away.
Start at the soles of your feet
Use short, firm strokes on the soles. Then move up the legs in long upward sweeps. Spend a little extra time on rough spots like knees and ankles.
Move up the legs and hips
Sweep from ankles to thighs. Five to seven strokes per area is plenty. Lighter pressure on the inner thigh, firmer on the outer thigh and buttocks.
Belly in clockwise circles
Use gentle, soft circular strokes around the belly button, moving clockwise. This follows the natural direction of the digestive tract.
Hands to shoulders
Start at the back of each hand and brush up the arm toward the shoulder. Cover the inside and outside of the arm.
Back, chest, and neck last
Brush the back upward where you can reach. On the chest and neck, use very light strokes downward toward the heart. Skip the face.
Rinse off in the shower
Finish with a warm shower to wash away loose skin cells. Pat dry, then apply a body lotion or oil while skin is still slightly damp.
How to wet brush in the shower
Your brush also works wet, paired with your favourite body wash for a softer, more lathering exfoliation. Wet brushing is gentler than dry and a good fit if your skin is on the sensitive side.
Wet your skin first
Step into a warm shower and let your skin soften for a minute. Apply a small amount of body wash directly to the bristles.
Brush in the same direction
Follow the same pattern as dry brushing. Long upward strokes on the limbs, clockwise circles on the belly, gentle downward strokes on chest and neck.
Rinse the brush thoroughly
When you finish, rinse the bristles under running water until no soap remains. Squeeze out excess water with your hand.
Air dry, bristles down
Tap the brush gently on a towel, then place it bristles down on a dry rack. Never store damp. This is the most important habit for boar bristle longevity.
How often should you brush?
Per week. First two weeks while skin adjusts.
Per week. The most common, sustainable rhythm.
Per week. Only with light pressure on resilient skin.
Minutes. Cover the whole body in one short routine.
What to expect
Smoother texture
Removes flakes and dull, dead surface cells. Skin feels softer and looks more refined within the first few sessions.
Boosted circulation
Bristles and massage nodules wake up the surface, leaving skin warm, lightly flushed, and noticeably more awake.
Better lotion absorption
With a fresh canvas, your body oil or moisturiser sinks in instead of sitting on top.
Smoother look on cellulite
Regular massage may help the appearance of dimpled skin over time. Best results show after four to six weeks of steady use.
Lymphatic support
Sweeping toward the heart aids natural drainage, which can leave you feeling lighter and less puffy.
Two minutes of calm
Beyond the skin benefits, dry brushing is a quiet pre shower ritual that simply feels good.
How to care for natural boar bristles
Boar bristles are a natural fibre, much like good hair. Treated well, they will keep their firmness and shape for many months. Treated poorly, they soften, splay, or develop odour.
Quick clean (every 1-2 weeks)
Tap the brush bristles against a hard surface to release loose skin and dust. A clean dry comb run through the bristles works just as well.
Deep clean (monthly)
Mix warm water with a small drop of mild soap or shampoo. Dip just the bristles, not the wood. Swish gently for 20 seconds.
Rinse and squeeze
Hold under running water until it runs clear. Press the bristles into a clean towel to remove most of the moisture. Do not wring or twist.
Air dry, bristles facing down
Place on a towel or rack with the bristles pointing down so water drains away from the wood. Drying time is usually 12 to 24 hours.
A few don'ts: never store the brush wet in a closed bag, use alcohol, bleach, or harsh detergents on the bristles, or share it with others.
Quick fixes
Important precautions
Frequently asked questions
Are boar bristles ethical?
Our boar bristles are sourced as a by product of food production. No animals are raised solely for bristles. Boar hair has been used for centuries in fine grooming brushes because it is firm, hollow, and gentle on skin in a way synthetic fibres struggle to match.
Can vegans use this brush?
Boar bristles are an animal fibre, so this particular brush is not vegan. If you prefer a plant based option, look for sisal or cactus bristle brushes.
Should I dry brush before or after a shower?
Before. Dry brushing lifts dead skin and increases circulation, then the shower rinses everything away. Following with body lotion or oil while skin is slightly damp seals in moisture.
Can I share my brush with my partner?
We do not recommend it. A body brush is a personal hygiene item, similar to a toothbrush or razor. Each person in your household should have their own.
Does it really help with cellulite?
Body brushing can soften the appearance of cellulite by stimulating circulation and exfoliating the surface. It does not eliminate cellulite, which is a normal feature of skin. Expect subtle smoothing, not dramatic transformation.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, with two adjustments: start with wet brushing in the shower, and use very light pressure for the first two weeks. If skin reacts with persistent redness or itching, pause and consult your dermatologist.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
Many people do, but always check with your doctor or midwife first. Avoid the abdomen and use light pressure on the legs and arms only.
How is this different from a loofah?
A loofah is a wet sponge for soaping up. A body brush is a dry tool for stimulating circulation and lymphatic flow as well as exfoliating. They serve different purposes and can be used together if you wish.
What if the bristles flatten over time?
Light flattening is normal and the bristles will keep working well. If they look badly splayed or matted, soak the bristles in warm water for two minutes, comb through with your fingers, and air dry bristles down. After 9 to 12 months of regular use, replace the brush.
Can the brush get wet?
The bristles can. The wooden disc should not be submerged. Keep water exposure to the bristle side only, then dry bristles down.
