Dry Skin Brushing to Tighten Skin & Reduce Cellulite
Found this on another Atkins board...I think I'm going to start doing it.
DRY SKIN BRUSHING
It is WELL known that the Skin is the LARGEST Organ in the Body, and is responsible for one-fourth of the Body's Detoxification each day, also making it, one of the most IMPORTANT Elimination Organs! The Skin is also known as the "3rd" Kidneys and the Lungs are known as the "2nd" Kidneys. TOXICITY can gather beneath the Skin's Surface from such COMMON Influences such as IMPROPER pH levels in Body, Soaps, Skin Creams and Anti-Perspirants, plus Synthetic Fibers worn NEXT to the Skin with ANY of them contributing to a variety of Skin Problems and Conditions. When you do Skin Brushing, you HELP your Lymph System to CLEAN itself of the TOXINS, that COLLECT in the Lymph Glands. You use a Simple Technique to IMPROVE the Surface Circulation on the Skin and KEEP the Pores of the Skin OPEN, encouraging your Body's Discharge of Metabolic Wastes, and resulting in an IMPROVED ability to COMBAT Bacteria, plus HELPING your Skin to look and feel HEALTHIER and MORE RESILIENT! Skin Brushing is a PERFECT Treatment for SELF-HELP Enthusiasts.
- Benefits:
- TIGHTENS Skin.
- HELPS Digestion.
- REMOVES Cellulite.
- STIMULATES Circulation.
- INCREASES Cell Renewal.
- CLEANS Lymphatic System.
- REMOVES Dead Skin Layers.
- STRENGTHENS Immune System.
- IMPROVES Exchange between Cells.
- STIMULATES the Glands, thus helping ALL of the
Body Systems to perform at PEAK EFFICIENCY!
- How To Do:
- Buy a NATURAL, NOT Synthetic, Bristle Brush, since it does NOT SCRATCH the Surface of the Skin.
- Buy a Brush with a LONG Handle, so that you're ABLE to get to the Areas of your Body, that are NOT EASY to reach, when doing your own Skin Brushing.
- Skin Brush, before Showering or Bathing, at least ONCE per day, and TWICE, if possible.
- Do NOT wet Skin, since it will NOT have the SAME Effect, because this stretches the Skin.
- ALWAYS Skin Brush towards the Heart.
- Do Circular Counter-Clockwise Strokes on the Abdomen.
- Do LIGHTER Strokes over and around Breasts, but do NOT Brush the Nipples.
- Brush each part of the Body several times VIGOROUSLY, COMPLETELY Brushing the WHOLE Body.
- Brush the Soles of the Feet FIRST, because the Nerve Endings there affect the WHOLE Body, next Brush the Ankles, Calves, and Thighs, then Brush across your Stomach and Buttocks and lastly Brush your Hands to the Arms.
- Take a WARM Bath or Shower, which should always be followed by a COOL Rinse at the end to INVIGORATE Blood Circulation and STIMULATE Surface Warmth.
- Wash your Brush every few Weeks in Water and let it DRY.
