Fast, effective,
numerous health benefits, believe me!
You may be
thinking why do I need to add something else to my already busy morning routine
or after long day at work? Let me assure you, the extra five minutes this
takes is well worth the investment.
Think back to
your human biology class (minus the traumatizing exam) and answer these
questions: What is the largest organ in the body? What is one of the most
important elimination organs in the body, playing a large role in daily detoxification?
What organ receives a third of all the blood that is circulated in the body?
When the blood is full of toxic materials, what organ will reflect this with
problems? What organ is the last to receive nutrients in the body, yet the
first to shows signs of imbalance or deficiency?
Answer for all: The Skin!
The benefits of dry skin brushing include:
Increasing the
circulation to the skin could possibly reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Cellulite is toxic material accumulated in your body’s fat cells.
Dry body
brushing helps shed dead skin cells (and encourages new cell renewal), which
results in smoother and brighter skin. It
It assists in
improving vascular blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. By releasing
toxins, it encourages the body’s discharge of metabolic wastes so the body is
able to run more effectively.
Dry skin
brushing rejuvenates the nervous system by stimulating nerve endings in the
skin (and it feels pretty great, too!).
It helps with
muscle tone and gives you a more even distribution of fat deposits.
Dry skin
brushing helps your skin to absorb nutrients by eliminating clogged
pores.
The directions are pretty simple:
Start on dry
skin before bathing.
Work in gentle
circular, upward motions, then longer, smoother strokes.
Always
begin at the ankles in upwards movements towards the heart - the lymphatic
fluid flows through the body towards the heart, so it's important that you
brush in the same direction.
Your
back is the only exception to the preceding rule; brush from the neck down to
the lower back.
After
you've finished with the ankles, move up to the lower legs, thighs, stomach,
back and arms. Be cautious of softer and sensitive skin around the chest and
breasts, and never brush over inflamed skin, sores, sun-burnt skin, or skin
cancer.
Ensure
you shower to wash away the dead skin cells and impurities.
Tip:
alternating temperatures in the shower from hot to cold will further invigorate
the skin and stimulate blood circulation, bring more blood to the outer layers
of the skin.
Then
follow it up with a slick moisturizer to nourish the skin (personally, I'm a
fan of coconut oil.
For
additional polishing and achieve super smooth skin why not pamper yourself with
