The physical act of using a Kent bath brush will reduce muscle tension and help you to relax from a stressful day. When you take a body brush and use it gently to massage your skin, you improve blood circulation throughout all your body. Any bath or shower can become a meditation or a relaxing spa.
Exfoliating the skin helps break the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing new cells to surface and create a youthful glow. It is also going to clear out any dirt and bacteria deep within your pores that your cleanser may have missed. Clearing out pores minimizes their appearance and makes you less vulnerable to breakouts on your skin.
Dry brushing stimulates your nervous system, which can make you feel extremely revitalized and relaxed, much like a massage does. The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and it excretes a third of the body’s toxins. Dry brushing helps to unclog pores and excrete toxins that have become trapped in the skin which improves your overall texture, light reflection, and luminosity.
Hot water inflames your skin and strips away the oils, fats, and proteins that keep your skin healthy. This can cause redness and itching. Brushing your skin while it is dry allows you to exfoliate and increase blood circulation without robbing it of moisture the way the hot water in your shower can.
Therefore, choosing between dry or wet exfoliation might be a matter of personal preference.
Please consider that skin that is broken or has cuts, sores, sunburns, or scrapes should not be brushed at all. Avoid using a dry brush if you have skin conditions such as eczema, acne, or excessively dry skin. If your skin gets inflamed easily, it’s better to avoid any harsh exfoliating action. This means that you may have to stick with gentle, wet brushing. Brushing is generally safer for those with oily and normal skin than for those with dry skin.
