Detoxify Your Skin with Dry Skin Brushing

Dry skin brushing is a form of detoxification for the skin that can help rid it of many harmful toxins that reside under the surface.

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in the body? The skin is also one of the most important organs of elimination and is responsible for ¼ of all of the detoxifying that your body does on a daily basis.

Dry skin brushing is a simple technique that is exactly as the name implies- you brush your skin (yes your skin!) with a dry natural bristle brush. It may sound strange and when you first do it, it may feel strange too but it will also feel good. Plus it is good for your body in so many ways!

What is so good about dry skin brushing?

Dry skin brushing aids the lymphatic system in cleaning out toxins that can lead to skin eruptions, boils, eczema and a whole list of other skin disorders. It is a form of natural healing that can be done by anyone. Dry skin brushing gets rid of dead skin cells that can clog pores. The result is increased cell renewal, better circulation and skin that looks and feel invigorated and more alive!

If you have cellulite and hate it (who doesn’t?!) then dry skin brushing can help to stimulate the cells in this area. The action of the brush can improve the texture of the skin as well as to firm and tighten it. The fatty deposits that lead to the development of cellulite can be broken up with regular use of dry skin brushing in order that they do not accumulate. This helps to slow down the process of aging. You can say goodbye to expensive cellulite creams that don’t work thanks to dry skin brushing!

Dry skin brushing must be done in a gentle manner so as not to damage the surface layer of the skin. That is why a natural bristle brush is recommended as opposed to a synthetic one that can scratch the skin.

As if that was not enough, dry skin brushing strengthens the immune system and it also strengthens the skin. It makes it much more difficult for bacteria to find its way into the skin. Dry skin brushing also improves muscle tone and the way in which the cells work together. This simple procedure which can be done once or twice a day before you shower also has a positive effect on the digestive system.

With all that dry skin brushing has going for it you must be wondering why this is the first time you have ever heard of it?
