The Art of Dry Brushing: A Luxurious Ritual for Radiant Skin

Dry brushing is more than a beauty trend—it's an ancient wellness ritual that revives the skin, awakens the body, and brings intention into your self-care routine. At Mimi Michelle Wellbeing, we believe that honoring your well-being begins with simple rituals that connect your body to the healing gifts of nature.

What is Dry Brushing?

Dry brushing is a technique that involves gently brushing the skin with a natural bristle brush, typically before showering. It helps exfoliate the skin, stimulate circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage. More than that, it's a way to slow down, reconnect, and give your body the love it deserves.

Why We Love It

• Natural Exfoliation: It removes dead skin cells and reveals smoother, more radiant skin.
• Lymphatic Support: The brushing motion encourages movement in the lymphatic system, helping your body detox more efficiently.
• Energizing Wake-Up: A quick dry brushing session in the morning can invigorate your senses and boost your energy.
• Improved Circulation: Increased blood flow supports a healthy glow from the inside out.

How to Dry Brush: The Mimi Michelle Way

1. Start at your feet and brush upward toward the heart in long, smooth strokes.
2. Always brush toward the center of the body—this follows the natural flow of your lymphatic system.
3. Use gentle pressure on sensitive areas and firmer strokes on tougher skin.
4. After brushing, hop in the shower to rinse off dead skin cells.
5. Finish with a nourishing oil, bath salt soak, or hydrating ritual healing bar.

When Should You Dry Brush?

We recommend dry brushing in the morning to energize your day and stimulate your system. Aim to do it 3-4 times a week for best results.

Pair It With Your Rituals

At Mimi Michelle Wellbeing, our dry brushing ritual pairs beautifully with our Lux Bath Tea Soaks, Glow & Brightening Body Scrub, or your favorite ritual healing soap bar. It’s the perfect way to prep the skin to fully absorb all that nature's luxuries have to offer.

Final Thoughts

Dry brushing is one of the most grounding and beautiful ways to show your body love. Whether you're new to the practice or revisiting it, make it your own. Set the tone with calming music, soft lighting, and herbal infusions that transport you deeper into your self-care journey.

Because when we slow down and nurture ourselves, everything else in life flows better.
