Yes, We Are Recommending This Dry Brush From Goop Don’t @ Us
WHAT: Goop G.Tox Ultimate Dry Brush
WHY: To be honest, we like Goop. We like “GP.” In many respects, Goop paved the way for some conversations women weren’t having on a national level until they came out, guns blazing, talking about vaginas.
Did they recommend a $4500 Hermès skateboard, a misspelled embroidered Gucci chair, and a $100,000 “self-heating” bathtub on their gift guide this year? They did. Do we still pore over every product they recommend? We do.
And so, reader, we need to tell you, in our exhaustive search to bring you the very best, most functional, most affordable, most lovely-to-use dry brush on the market, we must recommend the one from none other than our friends at Goop.
First, to answer the question on all of our minds: does dry brushing even fucking do anything? In a word: yes. But there isn’t any functional evidence that it “detoxifies” the body, gets rid of cellulite, or minimizes spider veins.
So what can it do?
Really, really exfoliate the shit out of your skin. Rubbing coarse-haired bristles on dry skin helps intensify the friction of the exfoliation, thereby upping the radiance of your skin in a visible way. Try brushing your legs, arms, back, shoulders, butt, right before a shower; go through all your regular ablutions, and then assess your skin in the light. It will almost glow.
Another science-backed result of dry brushing is its stimulation of sensory nerves, which can be a lovely way to give yourself that “wake up” moment in the morning, particularly for those of us who tend to draggggg. Though read HERE why we refuse to buy into the cult of becoming a “morning person.” Refuse!
For us, a $25 product that takes all of 3 minutes to use, feels dreamy in the hand, and gives us noticeably smoother, softer skin, is a no-brainer.
Ok, this has been a lot of equivocating to show you we like Goop but also feel a certain ambivalence toward their business model while also recommending their products so we’re very, very tired.
