Dry Skin Brushing – A way to Detoxify!

Note: Always consult your doctor before making any major lifestyle changes.

It is well known that the skin is the largest organ in the body and is responsible for one-fourth of the bodies detoxification each day. Thus that makes it one of the most important elimination organs!

Our skin is also known as the “3rd” kidney while the lungs are known as the “2nd” Kidney. 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. Also synthetic fibers worn next to the skin as well as poor diet can contribute to a combination of skin problems.

When you practice in regular and proper skin brushing you help your lymph system to clean itself of the toxins that collect in the lymph glands. Dry Skin brushing is a simple technique to improve surface circulation and keep the pores of the skin open to encourage your bodies discharge of metabolic wastes resulting in an improved ability to combat bacteria. Plus it helps your skin to look and feel healthier and more resilient!

Benefits At a Glance:

Dry Skin Brushing Tecnnique:
1. Buy a natural (not synthetic) bristle brush as natural bristled brushes will not scratch the surface of your skin. Its best to purchase a brush with a long handle so you are able to get to areas of your body that are not easy to reach.
2.Dry Skin Brush before showering or bathing at least ONCE per day however twice a day is recommended if at all possible.
3.Do not wet your skin as it will not have the same affect because this stretches your skin.
4. Do lighter strokes over and around your breasts but do not brush the nipples.
5. Brush each part of your body several times vigorously and completely being sure to brush your whole body.
6. Brush the soles of your feet first because the nerve endings there affect your whole body. Next brush your ankles, calves, and thighs. Then brush across your stomach and your buttocks and lastly brush your hands to your arms.
7. Always skin brush towards the heart.
8. Do circular counter-clockwise strokes on your abdomen.
9. For areas that are sensitive like the groin area, face and under arms those maybe skipped.
10. After you have completed your brushing 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.
11. Wash your brush every few weeks in water and allow it DRY.

Usually the results of dry skin brushing maybe seen within a month. The benefits for just a few moments of your time is well worth it! Happy Brushing!

Night Creams Benefits Skin … Are Creams or Moisturizers Beneficial at Night?

Going to bed with night cream on your face can benefit your skin in many ways while you are sleeping. Night creams contain special ingredients like vitamins and anti-aging components. In fact, these creams can also be thicker and more intensive than ordinary daily moisturizer because you don’t need to apply makeup on the top of them.

How Night cream benefits your skin?

The cell renewal of skin is more active in the night and night creams are designed in such a way to make the most of these hours. Using a night cream daily gives your skin the chance to repair the damage caused by makeup, air pollution and ultra-violet sun rays.

Night creams are particularly beneficial for dry and very dry skin type when used daily. Choose the formulation carefully on the basis of how dry your skin is – it is important that your skin should not feel overloaded.

Applying Night Cream

Dab a little night cream in your palm and then gently rub your both hands together. This way the cream is more easily absorbed.  Applying night cream before going to bed means waking up softer, smoother complexion. Skin’s performance can boost if night cream is applied to slightly damp skin as it seals in extra moisture.
