| Skin Brushing Every morning – it’s one of the best ways to take care of your skin. Skin brushing is a simple technique that stimulates blood and lymph flow (which helps in waste removal also reducing visible signs of cellulite), exfoliates skin, encourages new cell growth and can sustain or reestablish your skin's integrity. All of these beneficial processes will only positively affect your body and overall health. Promotes Skin Beauty Decreased sweat and oil gland functions are features of aging. Proper skin brushing stimulates both the sweat and oil glands, which will help in the restoration of moist, supple skin. It will strengthen the skins pores through which the skin is moisturized and cleansed. Skin brushing affects the dermis (the skin layer that contains an abundance of blood and lymph vessels), nerves, glands, elastin and collagen fibers. The dermis provides nutrients and moisture to all the skin layers and lends contour and flexibility. When the dermis ages it loses its resilience, causing your skin to lose tone. This causes the skin to dehydrate and collapse into sags, wrinkles and lines. Tips for Skin Brushing To brush your skin, start at you feet and sweep up the legs in long, light brisk movements. All skin brushing movements should be towards the heart, to encourage the return of blood and lymphatic flow. Don’t be too rough. Over brushing causes the skin to turn red and become irritated. Gentle strokes will open the lymphatic vessels. Do it first thing in the morning, when the increased blood flow will help wake you up! |
