The skin is the body’s largest eliminating organ. It eliminates toxins from foreign substances in our environment. Some of the most common causes of skin reactions are allergies to food, cosmetics, chemicals, nervous tension, drug and alcohol intake. Also poor diet causes parasites and Candida which may lead to dandruff, eczema, psoriasis and breakouts.

Skin brushing increases the effectiveness of the lymphatic system, removing toxins that have collected in the lymph glands and toxicity gathered beneath the skin’s surface. Skin brushing tightens the skin, eliminates dry, flaky skin, stimulates circulation and removes cellulite. The continuation of skin brushing may reduce the usage of heavy lotions and creams that become more essential in colder weather.
