\n\t\"Body<\/a>Have you ever wondered what those long spindly brushes are for that you find at the natural health food store?  If you haven’t yet figured it out, you’re in for a real treat!\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI’ve been dry brushing for the past 5 years or so, and I wouldn’t go a day without it.  I’ve found nothing <\/em>that makes my skin more soft, more silky, or more refreshed than dry skin brushing!\n<\/p>\n

\n\t[bctt tweet=”The purpose of dry skin brushing is to help drain your lymph system and detox out toxins”] that clog pores and get trapped in your skin.  It's one of the easiest, cheapest things you can do for your body every day that has a big ROI.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo get started, just follow these simple steps:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tPurchase a dry skin brush at any natural health food.  Don’t worry, they’re inexpensive and definitely won’t break the bank.
    \n\t\t \n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tGet naked.  Some people suggest standing in your shower or tub, but personally I don’t think it matters!
    \n\t\t \n\t<\/li>\n
  3. \n\t\tStarting at your feet or top of your head, sweep in long brush strokes<\/strong> toward your heart.  This part is important!  Always brush toward your heart.
    \n\t\t \n\t<\/li>\n
  4. \n\t\tSome areas may be sensitive, such as your breasts, so go slow.  The more you do it, the less sensitive you’ll be!
    \n\t\t \n\t<\/li>\n
  5. \n\t\tUse natural lotions or fruit oils<\/strong> like coconut after brushing and massage into your skin.
    \n\t\t \n\t<\/li>\n
  6. \n\t\tClean your brush once a week with mild soap and water.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tIn just a few days, you’ll notice a difference.  I did after only one time!  I couldn’t believe how soft my skin was.  Better than a loofah or body scrub,<\/strong> and less abrasive, dry skin brushing guarantees you’ll have silky-smooth skin all year round!\n<\/p>\n
