Skin Brushing – Radiant Natural
Skin Care

Natural skin care is always the best skin care! One way to take care of it from the inside out, is to do regular skin brushing.Skin brushing is an excellent way to clean and detoxify your body. The gentle friction that is applied during skin brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, thereby supporting the spleen. When done on a regular basis, skin brushing improves skin tone and smoothness. Skin brushing makes your skin radiant!

Skin brushing helps slough off the old skin cells that accumulate which reveals a newer, fresher skin superficially. This is known as exfoliation, which is also the basic principle for products such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids, (AHA's) and Renova. Regular exfoliation helps promote natural skin regeneration thus providing natural skin care!

Skin brushing should be done on dry skin for about 3 minutes prior to showering or bathing. You will need a medium to long handled soft, natural bristled brush to use in skin brushing, which you can buy easily and cheaply at your local Walmart or over the internet.

What does lymph do for us? It helps fight infection by helping the body produce antibodies to bacteria and provide immunity. Its very important that we have our lymph flowing freely! Natural skin care is easy if you do regular skin brushing.

Steps to Skin Brushing

1. Brush the lower body first! Start with the soles of the feet, as well as the top and sides of the feet, using long, sweeping strokes. Sweep the brush up the sides, back and front of the legs, concentrating on the thighs and buttocks. End the strokes on the top inside of the leg, adjacent to the groin. 2. Raise one arm up in the air, which allows gravity to help drain the lymph to the armpit. Sweep down the arm using gentle strokes, and draw the brush down towards the armpit. 3. Brush the torso next. When brushing the abdomen, you should follow the natural progression of the colon tract. (This will also aid the elimination process!) Start your strokes on the right bottom side of the abdomen and brush up the right hand side of the abdomen to the inside of the hipbone. Then sweep the brush from right to left across the top of the abdomen to the inside of the left hipbone. Then gently sweep the brush down the abdomen just inside the hip on the left side, towards the leg. Then brush from left to right on the lower abdomen above the pelvic bone. End the stroke on the right side bottom, where you started. Repeat this several times.

4. When working on the breast area, be sure to be extra gentle. Always brush lightly and aim for the armpit.

Your skin will become more resilient with time and you will be able to use more vigorous strokes after a few weeks. This technique should be done daily for about two to three months, until you have thoroughly cleansed your lymphatic system.

Maintain skin brushing once a day but then reduce it to twice a week after the initial first few weeks. While you are using this technique, it may also be beneficial to visualize the toxins being eliminated from your system. As you are purifying your system, you may notice large amounts of mucus in the stools. This is quite normal and is a good sign that you are clearing away toxins that are harmful to your system.

With natural skin care your skin will look great! Naturally!
