Mary, the answer to your question: A BIG YES!
Remembe Approximately 10% of body elimination occurs through the skin,
When you do skin brushing, you are really detoxing your skin because skin brushing will help your lymph system to clean itself of the toxins, that collect in the lymph glands.
It removes dead skin cells and debris that clog pores,which can help improve skin texture and cell renewal. Yes to dry brushing your skin every day. I do…. and love it.
this is the one think I OD.:)
thanks for your feedback,
