Your skin is one of your largest organs for elimination, and exfoliating with a soft natural-bristle body brush improves circulation, moves the lymph glands and make your skin look great. Brush before showering. Begin with your arms and legs and brush in the direction of your heart. Avoid delicate areas of the face. After showering, your skin will have a healthy glow and will feel soft and supple.
