DRY SKIN BRUSHING

It is well known that the skin is the largest organ in the body, and is responsible for one-fourth of the body’s detoxification each day, also making it, one of the most important elimination organs!

Why skin brush?

Toxicity can gather beneath the skin’s surface from such common influences such as improper pH levels in body soaps and skin products, plus synthetic fibers worn next to the skin.

Benefits of skin brushing

• Strengthens the immune system

 How To Do Skin Brushing:

Buy a natural, non-synthetic, long handled bristle brush or use skin brushing mittens. Brush skin before showering or bathing, at least once a day. Do NOT wet your skin. Having dry skin and a dry brush is essential for the best results. Use long stokes all over the body, always brushing towards the heart. Brush the soles of your feet first, because the nerve endings there affect your whole body. Next brush your ankles, calves, and thighs, then brush across the stomach and the buttocks and lastly brush your hands and up your arms. Do lighter strokes over and around your breasts, but do not brush the nipples. Brush each part of your body several times vigorously. Always skin brush upwards towards the heart. Do circular counter-clockwise strokes on your abdomen.

Now take a warm bath or shower, which should always be followed by a cool rinse at the end to invigorate blood circulation.

TIP : Wash your brushes every few weeks in water and allow to dry in the sun
