Skin Brushes

Brushing the skin helps unplug the pores, increase its ability to absorb nutrients, increase circulation to the skin cells resulting in a better metabolic cellular exchange and polish it as well.  Healthy skin needs to ‘breathe’.  Rid it regularly of dry skin cells and the body will react by producing new skin cells more rapidly.  Your skin will immediately feel silkier and on the long term will look healthier, loosing that dry, pasty appearance.

How to Use Your Dry Skin Brush

• Start at your feet and always brush toward your heart. Use brisk circular motions or long, even strokes.

• Brush all the way up your legs, then over your abdomen, buttocks, and back. If you have cellulite on your hips and thighs, concentrate their a little longer. For complete dissolving of cellulite, brush for 10 minutes daily for several months.

• Brush lightly on sensitive areas like breasts and more firmly on areas like soles of the feet.

• When you reach your arms, begin at your fingers and brush up your arms, toward your heart. Brush your shoulders and chest down, always toward your heart.

• Avoid brushing anywhere the skin is broken or where you have a rash, infection, cut or wound.

• Finish by taking a shower and if you choose, use cold/hot therapy to further stimulate the lymphatic system and improve circulation.

• Dry off vigorously and massage pure plant oils into your skin such as almond, sesame, avocado, coconut, olive or cocoa butter.
