About the product
Make sure your skin is dry, and always start with the thighs (from the knees to the groin), then brush from the ankles to the knees, and finally all the way up the legs (from the feet to the groin).
Next, move on to the arms (from hands to underarms), then end with clockwise circular motions over the stomach.
Don’t forget to always finish your movements in the direction of the nearest grouping of lymph nodes (popliteal fossa in the elbow area, inguinal lymph nodes near the pelvian area and axillary lymph nodes in the underarm area), and towards the heart.
Tap the brush on a towel to clean it, then take a quick shower.

Ion-charged body brush
Most of us are familiar with the benefits of hair brushing (stimulates circulation, encourages the flow of nutrients to the scalp, helps to keep hair bulbs healthy, leaves hair soft and shiny, etc.). But when it comes to brushing the body, the benefits are not so well known – despite the fact that dry body brushing has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and has long been popular in Nordic countries.
What are the benefits of dry body brushing?
Dry brushing boosts circulation, detoxifies the body by stimulating lymphatic drainage, exfoliates, and is also known to help tackle cellulite and tone the skin. The first few times you dry brush, it’s recommended that you go lightly, to give your skin time to get used to it. You should always brush upwards, and take a bath or shower afterwards. You can dry brush your body every day for two weeks as an «intensive treatment» and then, two to three times a week as a maintenance regime. Much like «Ishnaan» (cold water therapy, i.e., taking cold showers), it’s a practice that you get used to quickly, and you soon feel the benefits.
The Absolution Energizing Brush
At Absolution, we always love to do a little more, go a little further… So you won’t be surprised to know that the Absolution body brush is a little bit special. It’s made with both natural bristles and copper bristles. The molecular structure of the copper bristles helps to naturally create anions (negative ions), which are needed to balance out the positive ions that bombard our bodies all day long. Negative ions accelerate the delivery of oxygen to cells and tissues. This helps to explain why a long walk by the sea has health benefits. The sea air is rich in negative ions, which improve our mood, energy levels, the quality of our sleep, concentration, and tissue oxygenation. Negative ions may also strengthen our resistance to stress. So why not incorporate a five-minute dry brushing ritual into your health and beauty routine?
