Skin Brushing: 8 Health Benefits

When I first learned about the specific things we can do for healthy skin, I realized to a small extent the benefit of skin brushing. So I bought a brush and brushed my skin from time to time in the bathroom. I wasn’t too committed to doing it, which translated meant that I really didn’t think the benefit was worth my time and effort.

That is no longer true. I now make time to brush my dry skin every day just before I shower. The reason it’s now a part of my personal wellness program is because I’ve learned the benefits and believe them to be true.

The skin, the largest organ in the body, is responsible for 1/4 of the body’s detoxification every day. In fact, it removes two pounds of acidic waste a day. When the blood is full of toxic materials, it is the skin that will show it first. The skin is the last to receive the nutrients it needs, but the first to show signs of imbalance or deficiency!

All of that information was enough to make me cross the line between head knowledge about it (believing those to be nice facts) and heart knowledge (actually choosing to incorporate skin brushing into my daily routine to reap the health benefits). ).

These are the benefits of skin brushing that I have learned:

1. Helps the body to eliminate cellulite.
2. Helps to tighten the skin.
3. It works wonders when you’re losing weight (or have lost weight and now have loose skin).
4. Removes dead cells, thus improving skin texture and cell renewal.
5. It stimulates blood flow to the skin, which in turn helps the body get rid of waste.
6. Helps the body detoxify even better when alfalfa supplements are taken in conjunction with skin brushing.
7. Rejuvenates the nervous system by stimulating the nerve endings.
8. Clears clogged pores so skin can better absorb nutrients.

Do you want to know how to start? Buy a stiff, natural body brush. If it seems too firm on dry skin, start with it wet and soapy in the shower or bath. Once the fur gets stronger, switch to dry brushing. Dry skin brushing will give you stronger stimulation that your skin needs. Use a prescribed sequence of hands, arms, chest, stomach. Then proceed to brush feet, legs, buttocks, remembering to always brush towards the heart with long strokes. For certain specific areas (such as upper thighs, stomach, buttocks) you can use circular movements, but always finish with long movements).

After I finish brushing, showering and drying off, I finish my skin health treatment by infusing my skin with natural vitamins using my favorite body lotion. I don’t know about you, but I want to make sure my skin care reflects my commitment to a healthy body, and that now includes skin brushing.
