Skin Bytes I "Glow Up: The Benefits of Dry Brushing Your Face"

Facial dry brushing might sound intense—but done right, it’s a gentle, energising ritual that can awaken tired skin, boost circulation, and give your complexion a healthy glow.

What Is Facial Dry Brushing?

Unlike body dry brushing, facial dry brushing uses softer bristles and a more delicate technique. It's a method of gently brushing dry skin in specific motions to stimulate the lymphatic system, increase blood flow, and exfoliate dead skin cells—all without water or product.

Why Try Facial Dry Brushing?

✨ Boosts CirculationEncourages healthy blood flow, helping nutrients reach your skin cells faster.

✨ Supports Lymphatic DrainageReduces puffiness and can help detox the skin by encouraging the removal of toxins.

✨ Exfoliates GentlyRemoves dull surface cells, leaving skin smoother and more radiant.

✨ Enhances Product AbsorptionCreates a clean canvas for serums and moisturisers to absorb more effectively.

✨ Brightens the ComplexionConsistent use can lead to a healthy, natural glow.

How to Dry Brush Your Face

1. Start with clean, dry skin.

2. Use a brush with soft bristles made for the face—not your body brush!

3. Brush in light, upward motions, starting from the center and sweeping outwards.

4. Always be gentle, especially around delicate areas like the eyes.

5. Follow up with hydrating serums and moisturiser to soothe and lock in moisture.

⏰ Frequency: 2–3 times a week is enough for most skin types.

Skin Bytes Tip:

Avoid dry brushing if you have active breakouts, rosacea, or sensitive skin, as it may irritate. Always clean your brush regularly to avoid bacteria build-up.

Adding facial dry brushing to your skincare ritual is a small change that brings big benefits. It’s a mindful moment and a skin-boosting step rolled into one.
