SKIN BRUSHING - ENHANCING YOUR HEALTH

As the largest eliminative organ, the skin plays a vital role in ridding the body of toxins and impurities. Many health practitioners recommend dry skin brushing to open up the pores of the skin and clean out the lymphatic system. When the pores are not clogged with dead cells and the lymphatic system is cleansed, the body is able to carry out its important function of eliminating toxins and waste material.

How to Skin Brush

The best time to dry skin brush is right before your morning shower or bath. Remember to brush when the skin is dry, since the skin may pull and sag if it is brushed wet. Begin by gently brushing with one-stroke movements. The skin should not become red. If it does, you are probably brushing too hard. The basic principle is to brush from the outermost points of your body (hands and feet) towards the center. Start by brushing from your feet to your abdomen, then from your hands up your arms towards the heart. Brush across your upper back and down the front and back of your torso. Cover the entire surface of your skin.
