With it's roots in Japan and Greece once an ancient ritual, dry brushing has both gained and retained popularity and validity throughout the years. I have been doing the dry brushing off and on for many years, and I assure you my skin has reaped the benefits!
There are many people that believe the wide range of claims that have been attributed to the practice, but I will only tell you about my personal experience. Once you start the dry brushing with a natural bristle brush, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. Somehow it is exhilarating and soothing at the same time. The brushing of the skin while dry removes the dead skin cells and thus your skin is instantly smoother to the touch. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes. You will actually see the color that appears on your body's skin, and then also feel the results of the increased circulation. It is truly an incredibly fantastic feeling. I look forward to it every single day. Recently I discovered the Eight Body Moisture products. Covering every base possible in the regime, eight creator Vicki Weaver has left no stone unturned when it comes to not only a beneficial routine, but one also that is as luxurious as you could possibly hope for. She has taken a "secret" family recipe and dry skin cure that was passed down to her from her mother and modernized and fine tuned it. Vicki's mother Wanda Burns worked in an airport hangar during World War II. The conditions were creating havoc on her sensitive skin, and so the history of the creation of this product begins. Fast forward to just a few short years ago, Vicki chose to market the cream that had served her so well, and did so with much integrity. These products are NOT tested on animals, and that is a major plus in my book! Jojoba, primrose, and monoi are just a few of the top quality ingredients that are used in these very fine products. You have the option of purchasing the entire regimen (which I suggest) which includes a fantastic natural bristle brush, creme body wash, sugar scrub, and moisturizer, and each product may also be purchased as needed. The choice of scents are lavender and ginger lime, both equally rich and elegant. All of the products combine to not only give you a more radiant skin, but also an extremely luxurious and relaxing experience.
