Like dry brushing the body, using it on your face can increase blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, firm loose skin, and get rid of lingering dead skin, revealing a smoother, brighter face. Unlike dry brushing the body, however, you want to use a different brush on the face. While the bristles for body brushing can be a bit rough, using a brush that's specifically made for the face and neck can help prevent any risk of irritation.

To dry brush, prep the skin by cleansing and drying your face. Start out on the chin and move upwards in a circular motion. Move outwards towards the jaw, the same way you would use a gua sha. Once done with the face, start under the chin and move downwards. When you're done, rinse off the face and brush and apply your skincare products.

Although dry brushes for the face — as well as your movements — should always be gentle, it's not always suited for every skin type. If you have problems with eczema, psoriasis, or irritation, you should speak to a dermatologist before taking up dry brushing.
