Comments Off on SOMETIMES THE SIMPLEST THINGS ARE THE MOST POWERFUL: SKIN BRUSHING
Skin Brushing couldn’t be any easier. Only 10 minutes per day to better well-being and skin quality!
It’s as simple as brushing your teeth or your hair – and just as necessary!
Skin Brushing has been around for centuries, and was even taught by Aristotle in Ancient Greece! Today actresses, models are fans – including Salma Hayek, Miranda Kerr, Stacey Keibler, Madonna – and magazine editors are becoming fans, too. Thanks to this, there is a growing awareness.
Why Skin Brush?
“The benefits are many – and just 10 minutes a day and less than a $15 dollar investment brings so much,” says Kathy Heshelow, founder of Sublime Beauty®, who Skin Brushes every day.
Here is what daily Skin Brushing can do and why it’s important:
Skin Brushing helps our largest organ of elimination, the skin, by exfoliating toxins and dead cells to make way for healthy functioning. As we age, we are less able to throw off these toxins, and this isn’t good for well-being or skin appearance!
Skin Brushing improves skin tone and reduces cellulite (by moving those toxins and helping to flush them).
Skin Brushing boosts blood circulation, always a good thing (and helpful for older people). Deliver nutrients throughout the body!
Skin Brushing aids the lymphatic system, which has no pump like the heart. Lymph moves through massage, body movements and skin brushing – and lymph that does not move can cause disease. Help your immune system!
Skin Brushing releases endorphins – get a joyous feeling!
ALWAYS brush on dry skin (before your shower is excellent)
ALWAYS brush TOWARDS the heart (remember, we are helping the circulation and lymphatic systems)
ALWAYS use natural bristles, never synthetic ones that could damage skin
Use medium to firm strokes, starting at the feet and working your way up. Brush all but your face, and spend time on rough areas (heels, elbows) and lymph-rich areas (inner thighs, armpits).
DON’T share your brush with others
Drink a nice glass of water after brushing.
