Any Bella Santé massage may begin with dry brushing from head to toe. Dry brushing is an ancient practice that gently exfoliates the skin and awakens the body before massage begins. When paired with massage, this dry brushing massage leaves skin feeling refreshed, balanced, and silky smooth.
This ritual enhances the overall massage experience by preparing the skin to better absorb the nourishing products applied during treatment. Guests receiving dry brushing will also go home with a complimentary dry brush to continue the practice at home and maintain results between visits.
What Is Dry Brushing?
Dry brushing is a simple, centuries-old technique that uses a natural-bristle brush on dry skin, typically before massage or bathing. The brush is gently swept across the body in specific motions, helping to exfoliate the skin and stimulate surface circulation.
At Bella Santé, dry brushing is offered as part of the spa experience and is often incorporated into a dry brushing spa ritual before massage. This body brushing massage technique helps remove dead skin cells and prepares the skin to better absorb the moisturizing products used during the massage that follows. The result is skin that feels smoother, refreshed, and cared for long after your visit.
Dry Body Brushing Benefits for Skin
When incorporated into a body brushing massage, dry body brushing offers both immediate and long-term benefits for the skin and body:
- Gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and leaving skin smooth and refreshed
- Supports healthy circulation by encouraging blood flow throughout the body
- Helps keep pores clear and prepares the skin to better absorb moisturizing products used during massage
- Supports lymphatic flow, which plays a role in the body’s natural detoxification process
- Awakens nerve endings, promoting relaxation while helping reduce muscular tension
- Contributes to improved skin tone, clarity, and overall texture over time
- Enhances hydration when paired with massage, leaving skin soft and nourished for days after treatment
