What is the best way to clean the Pathway Dry Brush?
The Pathway Dry Brush is meant to stay mostly dry, since moisture can damage the natural bristles and make them wear out more quickly. The best way to clean it regularly is to tap or gently brush the bristles against your hand or a clean towel to remove any skin cells.
Every few weeks, you can give it a deeper clean by lightly spritzing the bristles with a little Cleanse, then let it dry bristle-side down in the sun. If you do need to rinse it, keep it quick, use minimal water, and make sure it fully air-dries before using again.

Do I need to use the Pathway daily?
Daily use is ideal for supporting detoxification and circulation, but even occasional use can provide benefits. Adjust usage based on your body’s needs and sensitivity.
-
Should I use Pathway if I or my child has open wounds or severe skin conditions like eczema, TSW, or staph infections?
Dry brushing should be avoided on areas with open wounds, severe eczema flare-ups, or active infections such as staph. Brushing these areas could cause irritation or worsen the condition. Instead, focus on brushing unaffected areas to stimulate overall lymphatic flow and drainage, which can still support healing indirectly. Always consult your healthcare provider for guidance tailored to your condition.
-
Can I use it on sensitive skin?
Yes! For sensitive skin, use a light touch or reduce frequency. Always listen to your body, and if irritation occurs, discontinue use on sensitive areas.
-
How long should I brush each session?
Just a few minutes per day can have a significant impact. Consistency matters more than duration, so establish a regular routine that feels comfortable for you.
-
Can children use the Pathway Dry Brush?
Yes! Establishing dry brushing as a habit in childhood is so beautiful. Use light pressure and ensure brushing avoids any areas with skin conditions or open wounds.
