Brushing your skin may sound like an odd thing to do, but it does have its benefits. Not only does brushing the skin result in the removal of dead surface skin cells to reveal newer, younger looking skin, brushing the skin also assists with the elimination of toxins by stimulating blood flow. By brushing off that layer of dead skin you unclog pores that open the way for waste material to exit the body and nourishing skin creams to enter the body. Dry body brushing can also improve the texture of your skin, and it can get rid of cellulite. The lymphatic system is cleansed through dry body brushing as well. So overall, beauty and health are enhanced. Once a day while skin is dry is all it takes, although you can perform dry body brushing two times a day if you’d like to.
