GOOD TO KNOW The brush off
Keep your skin feeling fabulous at all times
Dry brushing increases blood circulation and removes surface dryness. Start at your feet and gently brush upwards in a circular motion towards your heart. Include your arms, but avoid the face, chest and neck. Shower afterwards to rinse off your skin. Can be repeated daily or weekly – your call. TRY 1 G. Tox Ultimate Dry Brush, $30, Goop. 2 Exfoliating Body Brush, $47, Voya.
