Directions for Dry Skin Brushing
Posted by: Dr. Mercola

The body should be dry and naked.

Using a natural fiber brush or loofa sponge, brush skin once or twice in the same direction, across every surface of the body except the face.

Do not scrub, massage, or rotate the brush on the body; just sweep it across the skin in long smooth strokes in the direction of the heart.

Brush up the arms from hands to shoulders, up the legs from feet to hops, down the back and torso, up the bullocks, down the neck, and across the shoulders.

The entire process should take no longer than a minute, and should be done while the skin is still dry.

An easy time to do it is before you take a shower.
