  intro: "Dry brushing doesn't require much. A brush with firm, natural bristles and a handle long enough to reach your back. That's the tool. The cadence question is where most people overthink it: two to four times a week is the practical range for most body skin. Daily is usually too much. Once in a while is fine but won't feel like a habit. The ritual works when it fits your routine without being a commitment. This page covers what to look for, what to skip, how often to use it, and the easy signs that it's time for a new brush.",

    body: "Natural bristle (sisal, boar, cactus fibre) holds its shape and creates the mechanical contact that sweeps surface flakes. Synthetic bristles are often too soft to do much, or too sharp. A long handle reaches the back without contortion. Stiff enough to feel purposeful; soft enough that it doesn't scratch — that's the range you're buying toward.",

  myths: [
    { m: "An expensive brush is always a better brush.",
      t: "Price doesn't predict bristle quality. The test is whether the bristles hold their shape after several uses and whether they feel firm but not scratchy. You can find that at most price points." },
    { m: "You should brush every day for best results.",
      t: "Daily brushing gives diminishing returns and often adds irritation. Two to four times a week is the sweet spot for most skin. Daily is more than needed." },
    { m: "Replace the brush every year.",
      t: "Replace it when the bristles splay, soften significantly, or hold a smell that washing doesn't fix. That might be six months. It might be two years. The brush tells you." },
