Alkaline Booster 6: Shed Some Skin!
Skin brushing is simply the act of brushing your skin (dry) with a firm bristled skin brush (like the one pictured above). The benefits are many, but these are my favourites:
- Skin brushing removes dead skin cells, making the skin fresh, tight, soft supple and glowing
- By removing the dead cells it also facilitates the detoxification and waste elimination process
- It also aids in circulation by bringing the blood up to the surface
- Skin brushing stimulates the flow of lymph throughout the body – which is so important (click here for more info on the lymphatic system) but also quite hard to achieve
- It gives you an INSTANT energy boost – I honestly feel great after I’ve finished skin brushing.
To skin brush you simply brush over your body in an upward motion (imagine with each stroke you’re aiming for your heart).
Do this once or twice per day and you’ll really notice the benefits!
