The Benefits of Skin Brushing
Dry Skin Brushing
Today a sedentary lifestyle and general lack of exercise
keep people from perspiring enough. As a result, toxins and
metabolic waste are not released through sweat as intended,
but instead are absorbed back up into the body. Dry skin brushing
opens up the pores, allowing the body to breathe, 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. People tend
to lose weight faster and more evenly over their entire body
when skin brushing is included in their weight loss programme.
Your skin is your largest eliminative organ!
The skin plays a vital role in ridding the body of
toxins and impurities that are a potential source of illness.
It has been estimated that skin eliminates over a pound of
waste per day. Dry skin b rushing 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 it’s 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 wit an internal cleaning programme.

Your client should be standing rather than lying down during
this procedure. The benefits of skin brushing for health and

skin. Rejuvenates the entire nervous system. Reduces cellulite
