Brushing the skin stimulates the lymphatic system and the circulation. This action speeds the removal of toxic waste from the body, improving the overall condition of the skin. Using a natural bristle brush on dry skin (before you get into your shower or bath), begin by gently brushing the soles of the feet, using firm, sweeping strokes always directed toward the heart.
Continue brushing up the front of the legs and then the back, right up over the buttocks. Brush everywhere except your face and neck. Be gentle on the abdomen and breasts, avoiding the nipples. Follow with a shower or bath. A firmer brushing action may be used as long as you feel comfortable.
