Body Brushing is essential for good health and peak physical performance. It is great for a multitude of things and yet there are many myths surrounding how you should go about it, what type of skin brush you should use, and how often it should be done.

SKIN BRUSHING:

- ALLOWS exchange between cells
- STIMULATES the glands

All of this contributes to PEAK BODY EFFICIENCY.

Dry Brushing Skin:

1. You need to purchase a natural, non synthetic bristle dry skin brush. It should be a firm brush, your skin will be able to handle it! But it should not scratch or cut the surface of your skin.
Note - DO NOT bruch over open skin, cuts and you should wait 24 hours after waxing or hair remove;.

2. Your skin brush should have a long handle, even if you don't always use it. It is essential for reaching the parts of the body like your back, bottom and legs.

3. When should I body brush? Always PRIOR to showering or bathing - the skin needs to be dry. Wet skin is much more stretchy and so body brushing will not have the same effect than if your skin is dry and taut.

4. How often should I body brush? Once per day is recommended but you can absolutely do twice (this will not harm you or your skin.

5. Where should I body brush? Do MUCH lighter strokes over and around your chest/breast area. Do not brush over your nipples or face as the skin is much much more sensitive and thinner.

6. Brush each part of your body several times vigorously, do your whole body.

Body Brushing Techniques:

1. Start wth the soles of your feet as there are many nerve endings and this affects your whole body. Next brush the ankles and calves. Then do the thighs, stomach, buttoks and then do your hands to your arms.

2. You must always direct the strokes towards the heart as you are releasing toxins.

3. Do counter-clockwise strokes on your abdomen

4. After brushing, have a warm bath or shower (not hot) which should always be followed by a cool rinse. This invigorates the blood circulation and stimulates your surface warmth.

5. Wash your brush every few weeks in water and allow it to DRY THOUROUGHLY (do not use if the bristles are wet.
