BENEFITS OF DRY SKIN BRUSHING

1. Opens pores, removes toxins and dead skin.  This helps to eliminate uric acid crystals, catarrh and various other acids in the body.
2. Increases blood circulation.
3. Helps to stimulate hormone and oil-producing glands.
4. Helps to take load off other organs by helping the eliminating system.
5. Helps in rejuvenating the nervous system.
6. Helps improve muscle tone and preventing fat deposits.
7. Improves complexion.
8. Improves overall health which helps against premature aging.

Skin brushing should be done at least once a day.   Skin-brush as soon as you wake up to freshen the body and before retiring to relax it.

A long-handled natural brush is best.  Never use a synthetic brush.

Brush skin lightly to begin with; as the skin becomes toned you may brush heavier.

Start at the bottom of the feet using a rotary or circular motion; then proceed to the legs, arms, back, abdomen and chest.  Women should avoid doing the breasts.  Never wet brush.  Always brush towards the heart.  Brush your skin until it gets a red flow.  Skin brushing should take about ten minutes.

A shower should always follow skin brushing.  This will remove uric acid crystals along with any dead skin that has been loosened.

Always start your shower with warm water and end with cold.  Once the water is cold do not stay in any longer.

When the water turns cold let it hit your legs first, do not let it hit your heart or head first as this can cause a slight shock to the body.

Baths can be unsanitary.  When the pores open they allow the toxins to be reabsorbed.  Showers are best.  Shower after a bath to rinse off.

Natural soaps should always be used, but do not soap the entire body down.  Areas to be soaped are the underarms and groin region.  Rinse soap off thoroughly to avoid clogging of pores.

SKIN BRUSHING TIPS

1. Every Two weeks wash your brush with natural soap and let dry in the sun.
2. Never share your brush
3. Never brush irritated or infected areas of the body.
4. Brush scalp regularly to remove dead skin and to help promote hair growth.
5. If you brush facial skin, be very gentle and better still, buy a facial skin brush.
6. Too much soap will decrease your body oil.  No oil = no interaction with sunlight to form Vitamin D.
7. Always shower after skin brushing.

The Skin is the largest elimination organ of the body.
