All About Dry Skin Body Brushing

Dry Skin Brushing is a very important element of your Body Wrap Treatment. Dry Skin Brushing before the Body wrap will remove all the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, it will increase blood circulation, stimulate the sweat glands and open up the pores. The Body Wrap Formula will be able to penetrate quicker and more effectively. You will see a greater inch loss!

YOUR SKIN IS YOUR LARGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT ELIMINATIVE ORGAN!!!

The skin plays a vital role in ridding the Body of Toxins and Impurities that are potential sources of illness. It has been estimated that the skin eliminates over one pound of waste per day. Dry Skin Brushing stimulates the sweat glands, opens up the pores, and increases blood circulation to the underlying organs and tissues in the Body. Daily skin brushing removes the top layer of dead skin cells with its build-up of dirt and acid, and deeply cleanses the pores. Skin brushing is one of the most powerful ways to cleanse the lymphatic system. Waste material is carried away from the cells by the blood and lymph. Dry Skin Brushing works hand in hand with an internal cleansing program.

Benefits of Dry Skin Brushing

Dry Skin Brushing opens up the pores, allowing the Body to breath, and thus enhances proper functioning of the organs. Skin Brushing increases circulation, which helps to draw out the stored waste and toxins, which often result in CELLULITE build-up.

How to Skin Brush

Brushing should be done immediately before performing any body wrap treatment and should be done every day prior to showering.

Tips Before you start Use a brush with all natural fibers with a long handle so that you can reach all areas of your body, most preferably with a removable handle with strap for holding in the palm of your hand for better control in the cellulite prone areas. (see here) Always brush on dry skin. Wet or moist skin will not have the same effect and could cause your skin to stretch. Always brush toward the heart. Stroking away from your heart puts pressure on the lymph vessels and veins and can cause ruptured vessels and varicose veins. Brush in a circular motion. Brush vigorously in cellulite prone areas and more gently in sensitive areas. Avoid sensitive areas with rashes, wounds, sores, infections, insect bites, poison oak or ivy, etc. Brush each part of your body several times completely brushing the whole body. Brush everyday for at least 5 minutes, especially on the cellulite areas, preferably in the morning before showering or immediately before a body wrap. More thorough brushing will take 10-15 minutes. Increasing the dry brushing to twice a day on the cellulite areas will help to achieve quicker results. Once you start a dry brushing routine, stick to it for best results! Clean your brush every week or so in water and allow to dry in an open area to prevent mildew.

Skin Brush Routine Start at the soles of your feet. Continue up your ankles, calves, thighs, hips and buttocks - paying extra attention to cellulite areas. Then brush the stomach, abdomen, and chest (being gentle around the tender areas). Proceed to the back (handle will be needed for the hard to reach areas or ask a friend to do it!), then to back of neck. Then brush each hand working up the arm to the shoulders.

Don't forget to continue with your body wraps! Body wraps will help the dry skin brushing eliminate toxins from the skin and improve overall skin tone.
