Skin Dry Brushing - An All Natural Detox

Skin dry brushing is one of the most effective ways to detox and help the body rid itself of toxins and acidity. 

If the pores are clogged toxins get stuck inside our body and the other organs of elimination have to work much harder.

• The Liver
• The lungs
• The kidneys
• The colon

The skin is actually the largest of these organs in charge of eliminating toxins. It eliminates up to two pounds of toxins per day, as much as the colon. Therefore skin brushing is essential for your all natural detox.

Use a natural vegetable fiber dry brush for dry brushing like the one on the right. These can be found in a health food store. The bristles are hard so you simply brush your skin very lightly. 

Dry brushing also stimulates blood circulation and the lymphatic system. The blood transports nutrients throughout the body and dry brushing aids this process. It is an essential step in your all natural detox.

Most people are overly acidic and dry brushing is one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to help reduce acidity. A body that is overly acidic is one that is prone to osteoporosis and disease.

Check your body pH. 

Skin brushing will quickly help your skin become more firm, supple, soft, healthy and young. It is great for those with dry skin. It is much more effective in removing dead skin cells and unclogging the pores than a loofah.

Brush the skin by starting at the feet, moving towards the heart. Continue the same way with the arms, moving from the hands towards the heart. Never wet your brush.

Spend two to three minutes per day before your shower dry brushing your skin as part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle to keep your body young and glowing!
