The massage therapist I went to started with the feet ...and brushed them up towards the heart...then moved to legs...then back, then arms...then neck..everything moving towards the heart. She spent about 15 min total...and it was heaven. She said it wakes the body up to accept massage better!

I watched some youtube videos. Basically you start from your feet and work your way up.

The point of brushing your skin is to help flush toxins out of the body. Skin is the body's largest organ and therefore has the potential to contain the most toxins. Brush from feet/legs in an upward fashion toward abdomen. Brush top of body downward toward abdomen. This will help the toxins reach the liver and the liver will do the rest! If you prefer a wet/damp massage in the same way with a warm and damp wash cloth. Your body will love you for it. :)

Marian- check out some of the videos on YouTube by searching "dry brushing." Basically, you just start at your neck and go to your toes using long strokes and always towards your heart. Best to do it before a shower. Enjoy!

The most I've ever done for mine is to make sure I rinse it thoroughly with hot water after each use, making sure that all of the cleanser that I used is rinsed out completely. After that, I squeeze it and hang it to dry. I also agree with the first poster that a mild soap or vinegar should work as well. Also, something to consider is that the bristles are supposed to be naturally antimicrobial according to the company. As a side note, I've also been wondering how often the brush should be replaced if anyone has any thoughts on that.

I've never used the brush for dry brushing. I can say that the brush gives a good "brushing" with liquid soap and water and it does enhance the circulation. Eventually, with use the bristles do soften. The brush is thick w/bristles and it's comfortable to hold. Personally, I like the bristles to soften and they do w/water, soap and use. However, if you are in the habit of dry brushing w/soft bristles, these are not soft at first, but, they will soften w/use. I hope I have been helpful.

I wet the brush a little and put a small amount of my facial soap on it. Rinse face with a cool washcloth and use buffer sponge dry to smooth and you are good to go!

We use ammonia and a toothbrush. Pour some on the plates and brush it through. then rise them off and allow to air dry. We have done this for years.

Yes. You wet your disposable wash cloth with no rinse body wash and wipe your self w it. No need of soap. This may dry your skin if you use this for a long time. Apply moisturizer after. Hope this was useful.

You can use any facial cleanser/moisturizer just apply it to the bristles, you won't need very much, then put it against your skin and turn it on.

I would try a soft bristled brush like a dish scrubber. The instructions say no machine wash but nothing about dry-cleaning, you could always ask your dry cleaner and see what they say. Our local cleaners is always very helpful and won't take anything they don't feel comfortable with returning in a useable state.

When I received it I immediately cut the soap into bar-sized pieces and wrapped them in saran wrap. I store it in a cool, dry place. I break off a chunk and rub it in my hands to create a rich lather, then apply it to my body/face. There are rough pieces in the soap, which is why I do it this way. I've also read that breaking off pieces and putting them in a used shampoo bottle or body wash bottle, and adding water to melt it makes a nice body wash.

You can use it dry, with water or oil. I would suggest using water. Its less messy.

Just dip a wet toothbrush into the powder and brush your teeth. Rinse really well. Best to do this at night before you go to bed!!

Here's my daily process - take your lather bowl and fill it with warm to hot water and let the brush sit in there while you fill some portion of the sink with warm/hot water. Afterwards empty out nearly all the water. You just want a thin film of water on the bowl. Then shake out the excess water from the brush. Swirl your brush around in the soap. I usually do it for somewhere between 1-2 minutes and alternating between counter-clockwise and clockwise. Then take that lathered up brush and swirl it around in the bowl. It'll take another 1-2 minutes until the soap gets all nice and lathery. You don't want it looking "wet" - that means you stopped too early or left too much water in the bowl. Then apply to face.

Per the directions: Spray on and massage into surface with a clean microfiber or similar cloth. Wipe with a clean terry towel or another microfiber cloth. In practice, just spray and rub around with a clean cloth, then wipe dry with another cloth to buff up the sine. We always use microfiber cloths, but an old towel or cotton t-shirt should work well too.

I clean all my "good" brushes the same way. Using tepid water, I swirl it in a mix of liquid dish soap, like Dawn and water. Not a LOT of soap, just enough to make it really sudsy. If the dried makeup doesn't come out, go ahead and rub some concentrated Dawn right on the bristles. It doesn't hurt the brush at all. Rinse it really well and lay flat to dry. It fluffs right up again and doesn't lose any hair from being washed. If you use hot water, you could compromise the glue, so keep it warm and don't baby it! You can use shampoo too, but dish soap works faster and better. Good luck. I love the brush and hope you do too. I clean all my "good" brushes the same way.
