Your skin eliminates up to a pound of waste EVERY day! Regular body brushing aids this elimination process by helping to break up fatty deposits, aid lymphatic drainage and stimulate circulation as well as exfoliating the skin.
BENEFITS:
· Stimulates circulation
· Helps eliminate toxins by increasing lymphatic drainage
· Removes dry, dead skin cells and encourages cell regeneration
· Helps reduce cellulite and fatty deposits
HOW TO:
· Use a long handled brush with firm, natural bristles.
· Always keep the brush dry and only use on dry skin.
· The best time to body brush is first thing in the morning before your shower.
· Never use the body brush on your face or sensitive areas.
· Brush towards the heart, starting from the soles of the feet and working upwards
· Brush your whole body from your feet to your heart, every day, for maximum benefits
LEGS:
· Take the brush and begin with the sole of your right foot, using firm strokes to cover the sole several times before brushing the top of your foot and up over your ankle.
· Move onto your lower leg (do the whole area from your ankle to your knee) before brushing from your knee to the top of your thigh.
· Next brush your buttock area to your waist
· Repeat the process with your left leg (starting from your foot)
TORSO & ARMS:
· Start at the top of your buttocks and brush upwards over the whole of your back to your shoulders.
· Brush your right arm starting from the palm of your hand, then the back of your hand before brushing from your wrist up to your elbow and then your upper arm towards your shoulder.
· Repeat with your left arm, starting at the hand.
· Very gently brush your abdomen in a clockwise circle, covering the area very gently several times.
