    I just looked at a couple videos on YouTube. The brushes look similar to the one we use on our horse. I guess next time I go to the barn I'll have to " borrow" Kota's brush.

    My skin gets the "lift heavy things and sweat like a *kitten* in church" treatment at least 4 times a week.

    My skin gets the Insanity routine. I used to work in the skincare industry so I'm a bit of a princess when it comes to that. My skin workout routine:
    AM and PM
    Body Brush with Elemis brush
    Use Salux Cloth with homemade soap
    Use homemade body lotion during the day (with vitamin c added) or homemade body butter at night
    Wax/Epilate if needed

    On my rest days (like today)
    Take a hot epsom salt, milk, and lavender flower bath
    Use homemade scrub
    Use homemade mud mask for 15 minutes
    Use homemade body butter

    I assume you don't have kids. If you do, you are the luckiest mommy in the world!! I'm jealous. :)

    I've been doing this for many, many year for keratosis - little tiny dry bumps on the backs of my arms & legs. Dry brushing will keep them away. Didn't know about these other reasons!!!!
    wow, I have those bumps in the back of my arms and never knew there was a name for it! thanks for sharing!

    I have gotten rid of those bumps by using a Buff Puff type scrubbie in the shower daily, then moisturizing. Makes perfect skin there where the dry bumps were.

    They aren't really dry skin, they are tiny little deposits of keratin at the base of the hair follicle. The brushing (or a buff puff & I've even used a scotch scrubber too) loosens the little plugs. Then a good moisturizer, I use coconut oil. The problem is you have to do it ALL the time or they come right back! :tongue:

    Makes sense!
    They do come back, however, I've noticed the better the circulation there, the less problem I have. Weight lifting seems to help me. Also a natural moisturizer...one with natural oils in it.

    Can I do this with a dry loofah?

    My aging skin gets extremely dry. I exfoliate in the shower then slather myself with baby oil and moisturizer on top, but the idea of topping up with a dry loofah in between appeals to me. Just for the scratch alone, if nothing else.
