The mechanical action of dry brushing is wonderful for exfoliating dry winter skin. It also helps detoxify by increasing blood circulation and promoting lymph flow/drainage. Dry brushing unclogs pores in the exfoliation process. It also stimulates your nervous system, which can make you feel invigorated afterward. Made from beech wood, naturally oiled, and FSC® certified, this brush features bristles made from natural, sustainably sourced horse-mane hair and a cotton string. All materials have been selected with a commitment to ethical and cruelty-free practices.
