dry brushing
Bristle skin massage
Dry brushing is a skincare practice of brushing the body with a stiff-bristled brush before bathing, intended to exfoliate dead skin and stimulate circulation.
Devotees credit it with improving skin texture and reducing cellulite, though evidence for deeper benefits is thin.
In painting, dry brushing is a technique using minimal paint on a brush to create textured, feathery strokes: She dry-brushed highlights onto the landscape.
