It was my doctor who first brought body brushing to my attention and I found that a lot of the sites online either assumed you knew the basis or weren't thick..which is where I came a cropper..
Thus, I've composed the noob's guide to dry body brushing going on my own experiences..
Before I start, I must say that I've only been brushing for two weeks but I've got the hang of it pretty quickly.
What it is and how you do it.

| The body brush. |
You get a dry, tough looking brush and brush your dry body with it. By dry, I mean when it's not wet..anyone can do this but I find it more beneficial for those with dry skin.. The general consensus seems to say that you should brush towards your heart..something which I found difficult to do the first few times as I always rub my moisturiser and shower gels on in the opposite direction. The bristles look tough but they're really quite soft when you get them on your skin.
