Do you like the sight and feel of freshly exfoliated skin – the glow, the smoothness of your skin, being rid of rough skin? In addition to glowing looking skin, you also felt more rejuvenated, released more toxins from your body, and had better blood circulation?

Dry Brushing is an exfoliation routine that does all that – and then some! It requires just a single tool and only a couple minutes of your time, but the benefits are amazing and invaluable. Interested?

The only tool required is a bristle body brush with natural bristles or a loofah. Just a few dollars at your local department store or health and beauty store and that’s it! When you are looking for your brush or loofah be sure you test out how it feels on your skin; every one may like something different, and you want to be positive you’re helping your skin, and not irritating it. Also be aware of how comfortable it feels in your hand and decide whether you want a handle or not and make your decision accordingly. Once you have your brush you’re ready to reap Dry Brushing’s many benefits.

The Dry Brushing system is easy and can take a little as a few minutes, but its rewards last much longer. The key to the Dry Brushing technique is to use a dry body brush or loofa on your body. The technique goes as follows: work towards your heart, moving the brush on your skin in small circles starting at your feet. From your feet move up the leg, and then your hands and up your arms, then your stomach, backside, back and finally ending with your torso, making sure that you end your circle in an upstroke.

But what more can I look forward to besides glowing looking skin? Why should you spend a few bucks and a few minutes using the Dry Brushing system?

Benefits –

The benefits to Dry Brushing are numerous; ones you not only see, but ones that you feel. Whether you’re going for that healthy skin glow, or you need that awake feeling, Dry Brushing can help you.

• Healthier skin that is smooth and free of dead skin cells, open pores allowing your skin to “breathe” and absorb nutrients easier.
• Increased immune system and increased blood circulation to aid in your body’s ability to detoxify.
• Stress relief! The increase in blood flow reduces stress and stimulates your nerves and your nervous system.
• The increase of blood circulation helps your body to break down and dispose of the toxins that cause embarrassing cellulite through your legs and hips.
• Rejuvenated and “awake” feeling minus caffeine and other energy stimulants.

Dry Brushing Tips –

• Make sure you test out the bristles of the brush or loofah to make sure it isn’t too rough or irritating for your skin. If it is painful, you won’t do it and you won’t get its benefits.
• Try Dry Brushing in the shower with the water off. There will be skin sloughed off so keeping it in the shower might be helpful.
• Don’t try Dry Brushing in the evening or before bed. Since it increases blood flow and circulation it gives you that awake sensation – which isn’t very favorable before bed.
• Don’t use this technique on your face as it is too rough for the sensitive skin of your face.

It is that simple: one brush and only a few minutes. They’re the only things standing between you and healthier skin and a healthier body.
