What speed should the rotary brush be set to for someone with dry skin?

• A. Fast and aggressive
• B. Slow, steady rotation with a softer brush
• C. Medium speed with a standard brush
• D. High speed for better results

Answer: (B)

For someone with dry skin, setting the rotary brush to a slow, steady rotation with a softer brush is appropriate because it is gentle and reduces the risk of irritation. Dry skin can be sensitive, and using a fast or aggressive speed could exacerbate the condition by removing too many natural oils or causing micro-tears in the skin's surface. A softer brush helps to exfoliate gently while still providing hydration and encouraging cell turnover without causing further dryness or damage. This method also allows for more controlled application, ensuring that the client receives the benefits of the treatment without discomfort, which is essential in skincare protocols, especially for those with compromised skin barriers.
