How to Use TERRA-TORY's Luxurious Body Brush to Exfoliate—Two Rituals, One Tool
At TERRA-TORY, every product is designed with intention. From the grain of a botanical bar to the bristle of a body brush, we believe self-care is most powerful when it’s slow, nourishing, and ritualistic.
Our luxurious body brush is more than just a bath tool—it’s an invitation. A moment to reconnect with your body. A ritual to awaken your skin. And there are two ways to use it, depending on what your body needs that day.
1. The Dry Brush Ritual (Before the Shower)
Invigorating. Detoxifying. Ancient.
Dry brushing is a timeless ritual practiced across cultures to stimulate the lymphatic system, exfoliate dry skin, and bring blood flow to the surface. It’s best done on dry skin, just before a warm shower or bath.
How to:
-
Step into a quiet space. Before the water runs, before the steam rises—begin.
-
Using gentle pressure, start at your feet and brush upward toward your heart. Use long, sweeping strokes on the limbs and small, circular motions on joints.
-
Brush in the direction of lymph flow—toward the center of your body.
-
Be mindful around sensitive areas. Let the brush glide—not scrape.
-
Once finished, step into the shower and rinse away the dead skin cells and buildup the brush helped loosen.
Why Dry Brush?
It exfoliates deeply, increases circulation, and helps the skin detox. Over time, it can soften the appearance of rough patches and awaken dull skin.
2. The Wet Brush Ritual (In the Shower with Soap)
Lather. Massage. Polish.
This is your moment to slow down. To infuse touch with intention. Using our soap bar with the brush in-shower transforms daily cleansing into a sensory act of self-care.
How to:
-
Wet your body and the brush.
-
Lather your favorite TERRA-TORY soap bar directly onto the brush, or massage it onto your skin and then use the brush to spread and work in the lather.
-
In circular motions, brush across the skin—focusing on areas that feel rough or dry.
-
Use firm but gentle pressure—this is not a scrub; it’s a massage.
-
Rinse and feel the softness emerge.
Why Wet Brush?
Combining the cleansing properties of our plant-based soaps with the gentle exfoliation of our brush allows for a smoother skin texture, deep pore cleansing, and a calming sensory experience. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin that prefers a gentler exfoliation method.
Which Ritual Is Right for You?
There’s no right or wrong way—just what your skin and spirit call for.
-
Dry brushing is great in the morning. It energizes and preps the body for the day ahead.
-
Wet brushing is ideal for evenings or days when you crave softness, steam, and a nourishing cleanse.
You can alternate between both rituals throughout the week—or simply do what feels best in the moment.
Care Instructions for Your Brush

The TERRA-TORY Way
We believe skincare doesn’t start with products—it starts with presence. Our body brush is a tool, yes—but it’s also a reminder to treat yourself with care. To slow down. To touch your own skin lovingly.
It’s more than exfoliation. It’s a return.
