Is dry brushing better than scrubing your skin when taking a bath? and how?
Is is because it's getting rid of dead ski?, so does scrubbing the skin. I use moroccan black soap, soak a little then scrub with a moroccan cloth. tons of dead skin falls off everytime. Is this enough or does the dry brushing do more? thank you |

Not an expert, but I believe that dry brushing helps to exfoliate the skin gently, and also encourages the circulation more so than scrubbing the skin (depending on what you use). Some scrubs have harsh things in them that scratch the surface of the skin and damage it in the process, whereas dry brushing uses natural fibres that simply remove dead cells.
If your finding that doing what your doing helps your skin, then I'd say keep it up - its only if your not doing any exfoliation would I recommend that you try dry brushing.
I know for me that dry brushing on my body gives my skin a great glow and feels like a more thorough exfoliation process than using a scrub (although I do love salt scrubs, they don't give me the soft skin dry brushing does).

I dry brush to stimulate the lymph glands and it also can help the appearance of cellulite. There are many articles on dry brushing and the benefits throughout different cultures.
Many spas offer a dry brush and massage treatment these days.
I just like the routine of it before my bath, it has become a daily habit. |

AnnieR great re dry brushing, but I believe the original question is: How is Dry Brushing Different from scrubbing? You do the dry brushing, can you talk about its comparison to scrubbing?

Dry brushing has a specific pattern to be followed to stimulate lymphatic stimulation and remove toxins as AnnieR mentioned.
A side effect of dry brushing is removal of dry skin (aka light exfoliation), whereas scrubbing removes surface oils and results in greater exfoliation, but is not specifically designed to stimulate lymphatic circulation.
They are really 2 very different things...I would recommend googling dry brushing (keywords: dry brushing lymphatic) and you will quickly see what I mean. |

Thanks Bethany-I guess I didn't elaborate enough to clear that up.
Sorry TheresaMary- I am a minimalist poster sometimes!
Has-I use a buffpuff occasionally on my face and body in turn with my Clarisonic, but I do still dry brush. Very different in the terms of what I am trying to achieve, mentally and physically. One cleans (scrubs) and the other is more of a massage/stimulation/meditation for me. It seems to give my skin a glow rather than just clean it. Although both rids the body/face of dead skin as people have commented, brushing is also more for toxin removal and stimulation.
It is also kind of hard to explain for me as I feel you almost have to experience the relaxation of it for me. At night when i remove my makeup, I can be in a hurry. But it seems more of a treat to take my time and do a drybrush all over.
There are so many articles, I thought it might make very interesting reading as the benefits can be too many to list in a simple post. Plus then you can learn techniques as well!
