This is my first time experiencing using a dry brush. I’d never even heard of one before. I had a total knee replacement and even after 2 months of recovery time my operated leg was still super scaly even putting lotion on it. Every day flakes were all over my sheets and it was embarrassing to have my PT and others see my leg. Plus the color of my leg was very red since all the capillaries were at the surface and the pores were trapped shut from all the dry skin so the toxins couldn’t get out of my leg. A friend of mine who is a PT suggested a dry brush. This picture is after using it just one time. You can see the color is now almost normal. It feels so much healthier and is glowing. I chose Goop brand because I’ve listened to Gwenyth and she impresses me with her quality. There are $9.99 brushes out there, but I wanted to be sure I got a high quality brush since my leg has been slow to heal. It is extremely well made. The bristles are softer than I expected, but stiff enough to get the exfoliation going. Cheaper ones complained the bristles were painful and abrasive. I sure didn’t want that. There is a warning not to use it over sores or scars so just remember that and steer clear of those areas. I don’t take it anywhere near my scar. Highly recommend this brush and looking forward to seeing how much better my leg will look and feel after a few more treatments.
