Getting Back Into Dry Brushing

After my first two years in Connecticut, when the humidity (which I never, ever seemed to get used to) made my skin constantly dry and itchy and splotchy, I started using a dry brush for exfoliating purposes and to basically just “buff” myself. And it definitely worked like a charm.

When I moved back home to the prairies four years later, my dry skin woes were seemingly cured by the change in climate and so I forgo the body brush. I didn’t know much about the multiple benefits of body brushes at the time (here’s a good piece on those benefits, if you’re curious) and viewed it as only a dry skin problem solver; so when Canadian company Prana Brush invited me to try out their dry brush, I was pretty keen to be involved and get back into the habit of dry brushing.

The product is innovative among other dry brushes because it utilizes ion-charged copper bristles made from a high-quality alloy of copper and zinc, coupled with humanely sourced boar bristles, which have a whole host of benefits associated with them. I won’t hum on with all the details because Prana has a super informative website that covers them …

I’m now been using my Prana dry brush daily each morning (as they recommend) for a week and can honestly say I’ve loved the experience! My skin feels smooth and invigorated and making the five or so minutes it takes me to use it into part of my morning routine has been easy and actually offers a nice little morning energizer. I’m really happy I was given the opportunity to try out the dry brush and will definitely be keeping up with my usage from now on!

If you’re interested in trying out Prana’s dry brush, head to their website or find them on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest with the handle @pranabrush and hashtag #pranabrush. Happy brushing!
