It is important to rest your muscles. Your body needs recovery time. Try to rest the next day, or take your workout lighter if you are sore. Good luck!

Is it THAT important to dry brush before a shower?

Question by Arielle L: Is it THAT important to dry brush before a shower?
I would like to add dry brushing to my health routine, and almost all sources recommend doing it daily before a shower... However, my skin dries out easily so I shower every other day or every two days (I sponge bath the areas that need to be washed daily) so I was wondering, is it more important to dry brush on a daily basis, or before a shower? Thanks.

Yes, it is very important before a shower in order to rinse off the dead skin cells. It is also important to shower every day using a mild natural-based soap. If your water has a lot of chlorine, you may want to try to find a shower head water filter to remove the chlorine. Use a good natural moisturizer after showering while your skin is still damp. This should help your dry skin tremendously.
