Dry body brushing is more than just a new beauty trend or fad—it’s a self-care ritual that is reflected in ancient wellness practices. At Mwerre, we believe in supporting skin health with natural and sustainable methods. Here’s everything you need to know about dry body brushing and why it’s the perfect complement to our artisan soap range.

What is Dry Body Brushing?

Dry body brushing involves gently sweeping a natural-bristle brush over skin in specific motions. This technique is designed to exfoliate, stimulate circulation, and promote overall skin vitality and cellular renewal.

Benefits of Dry Body Brushing

• Exfoliates Dead Skin: Removes dry, flaky skin encouraging skin wellbeing for a smoother, softer feel.
• Boosts Circulation: Encourages blood flow, giving your skin a healthy-looking glow.
• Supports Lymphatic Drainage: Helps move lymph fluid, assisting your body’s natural detox processes.
• Preps Skin for Nourishment: Allows for deeper absorption of natural oils, botanicals and moisturisers.

Our Sustainable Body Brushes

Mwerre’s ‘EcoMax’ body brushes are handmade from biodegradable materials like sisal fibres, jute, and sustainably sourced wood. Options include:

• Jute Face/Body Brush – for sensitive areas such as the face and decolletage.

How to Dry Brush: Step-by-Step

1. Choose the Right Brush: Opt for a brush with natural bristles and a handle for harder to reach areas.
2. Start at the Feet: Using gentle, upward strokes, begin at the soles of your feet and move toward your heart.
3. Brush in Long, Sweeping Motions: Use long strokes on limbs and circular motions on joints. This should take up to 5 minutes.
4. Be Gentle: Apply light pressure, especially on sensitive areas. Use a gentle bristle brush on sensitive areas.
5. Shower Afterwards: Rinse away exfoliated skin and follow with a nourishing soap, like Mwerre’s Clay & Ochre bars.
