  intro: "Dry brushing is one of those body rituals that's either very useful or mildly oversold, depending entirely on how honestly you describe it. The technique itself is simple: a firm, dry brush, moved across dry skin in long strokes before you shower. Done well, it sweeps loose surface flakes off the skin, leaves a tingly warmth, and makes your moisturiser feel like it's going somewhere. Done with inflated expectations, it disappoints every time. This page is about the technique — where to begin, how to move, what to feel for, and when to stop.",

  defn: {
    h: "What dry brushing actually does",
    body: "A dry brush moves stiff natural bristles across the skin's surface. The mechanical action sweeps loose, flaking skin cells away — surface exfoliation. The bristles also stimulate nerve endings, which is why skin feels warm and tingly afterwards. That's the whole story. Nothing travels deeper than the outermost layer of skin.",

  myths: [
    { m: "Dry brushing removes toxins from the skin.",
      t: "Skin does not release toxins. Waste processing happens in the liver and kidneys, full stop. The brush removes surface flakes — that's the honest claim." },
    { m: "You need to brush toward the heart.",
      t: "There's no evidence direction affects anything except stroke length. Move in whatever direction is comfortable. Long strokes that lift away from the skin surface work fine." },
    { m: "More pressure means better results.",
      t: "More pressure means irritated skin. The goal is pink warmth, not redness. If it feels scratchy, you're pressing too hard." },
