A quick guide to the essential head-to-toe accessory to getting the most out of your brush.
The body
Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s much-talked-about brand, arrives in France at Oh My Cream. Among the leading products is the body brush, which is combined with the toned silhouette of the 51-year-old actress. On Instagram, he shows it off, praising the effects “instantly and long-term.” This accessory is also available in the market in different shapes and materials. “It’s a really old routine inherited from the Nordic countries. The goal is to stimulate the lymph that transports immune and cellular waste,” explains Melanie Huynh, founder of Holidermie, which offers three models in sisal silk, wood and jute. For this practice fan, it’s best to do it in the morning, before his shower.
“The idea is to reactivate the lymphatic system after lying down all night. We move from the bottom up towards the heart to follow the blood flow. Except at the level of the stomach, where it should be done clockwise.” From the tops of the legs to the backs of the arms, including the thighs and hips, all areas are affected except the neck. “We’re supposed to be more of a touch than a brush, aren’t we?
not in the scrub. Sure, we’re going to exfoliate dead skin, but?
the primary goal remains to drain. And we will also act against cellulite by moving the tissues.”

The face
A practice that also acquires faces. So the Aesop brand included it in its treatment, which is available in three formats (35, 60 or 75 minutes). And at home we can also have this reflex. “Dry brushes will bring lightness and vitality. And are perfect for offering a second skin effect, especially in spring, explains face specialist Sylvie Lefran. But be careful, the face remains very fragile, and it is better not to abuse it. We should also avoid it with inflamed skin that has acne or rosacea.”
Meanwhile, technology is taking over facial brushes to complete the basic cleansing steps. Foreo and its Luna 4 promise to remove 99% of impurities and other traces of makeup while stimulating blood and lymph circulation. As a result, with baby skin. “When used well, these accessories can provide strength that you don’t have in your hands and boost through vibration,” adds the facialist.
Hair
As for hairbrushes, they enter the campaign with more technical and desirable options. At La Bonne Brosse we are campaigning to restore their use at bedtime. “Thus, we clean the hair of dirt and spread the fat concentrated in the roots along the length. This allows the shampoos to be released,” explains Flor de Robert, co-founder. Another accessory that has become necessary in the bathroom is brushes for the scalp.

“But here we are more part of the concept of massage,” explains Sylvie Lefran, who envisioned the protocol with Maison Hädenn. “The scalp needs to be oxygenated and rested to promote regrowth. It is a muscle that accumulates tension. As a result we see
poor blood circulation and oxygenation of the hair bulb causes problems with hair loss and lack of shine”. For beautiful skin or shiny hair, we re-apply the simple yet effective brush gesture.
