Dry brushing your body is not only a brilliant way to exfoliate (pre-shower) but it also stimulates circulation and helps to detoxify your body. Women have been doing this for years, and if you are a part of the small handful of men that has already adopted many of our beauty secrets, you needn't read further. However, for the rest of you, Dry Brushing is an easy way to keep your skin glowing while giving your internal system a little massage.

1. Any brush will do. You can run to your local CVS, pick up a brush for 3.50 and voila! You've started your "in home spa."

2. Starting from your feet to your neck, start exfoliating in small circles, paying special attention to the naturally rough areas on your knees, elbows, etc. Remember to at least try to cover your entire body. You will feel like silk, so why leave a part out?

3. Step into the shower and rinse off.

4. When you emerge from the shower, while your body's still damp rub a dime size amount of Olive Oil on all over. Olive Oil has been a in-home staple for women throughout history and will serve you well too. Its antioxidant powers alone will have you feeling like a new man, indeed.
