The skin is the largest organ in the body, with an esti­mated size of 18 square feet. Along with the liver, kid­neys, lungs, lym­phatic sys­tem, colon, and blood, the skin works to remove built up tox­ins and waste from your sys­tem, main­tain­ing opti­mal health. Up to two pounds of waste prod­ucts are dis­charged through the skin every day!

Tox­ins from every­day soaps, cleansers, antiper­spi­rants / deodor­ants, lotions, and cos­met­ics can gather beneath the skin’s sur­face and pre­vent the skin from breath­ing, which can con­tribute to a vari­ety of skin prob­lems and con­di­tions. If the skin becomes inac­tive because its pores are clogged with dead cells and chem­i­cal residues, impu­ri­ties will remain in the body. Then, other organs of elim­i­na­tion, will become over­worked, which even­tu­ally cre­ates dis­ease. Like­wise, if the other organs of elim­i­na­tion are over­worked, the body will rid itself of tox­ins by excret­ing them through the skin.

Dry skin brush­ing is a great way to sup­port healthy elim­i­na­tion of tox­ins through the skin. It is great for acne, eczema, cel­lulite, oily skin, dry skin, stretch marks, or just as part of your reg­u­lar self-care rou­tine. Besides, your skin will look and feel health­ier and more resilient!

How to dry skin brush:
Use a long han­dled, nat­ural bris­tle brush. Skin brush before show­er­ing or bathing. It should take about 5 min­utes to brush your whole body.

1. ALWAYS brush towards the heart (see dia­gram), and clock­wise around the abdomen.
2. Using small cir­cu­lar motions, vig­or­ously brush each part of the body sev­eral times.
3. Start at the soles of your feet and work your way up your legs, stom­ach and but­tocks. Lastly brush your hands and arms.
4. Avoid the face, nip­ples and any other sen­si­tive areas.
5. Take a bath or shower to rinse off.
6. End with a cold rinse to close pores and fur­ther stim­u­late blood and lymph circulation.
7. Wash your brush every few weeks and let it air dry.
