Basically, it is skin brushing. First let us understand about the dry skin friction. It is basically general dry massage of the body. Its benefits cannot be matched. Skin is the largest part of the body and to make it cleaner, healthier and beautiful, dry friction plays an important role. By doing dry friction, we increase the blood circulation causing its detoxification. It is even better than oil massage. It is done in such a way that when we rub over every part's skin, little bit redness is there. Rubbing through all the body with small dry hand towel exercises all parts of the body including spine, abdomen and the entire nervous system. The average adult has five million pores on their body. These pores are critical in allowing skin to breathe and helping the body get rid of oils and toxins. Dry friction helps in cleansing these pores. Alongwith, lymph circulation, which does not has its own pumping system, is also enhanced. So, skin brushing daily is wonderful for circulation, toning, cleansing and healing. You can use a dry vegetable brush (never nylon) and brush lightly. Along other benefits, it also helps removes old skin cells, uric acid crystals and toxic wastes that come up through skin's pores. You can use loofah sponge for variety in shower or tub. Skin brushing is tonic to the nerves in the skin.
But remember one should consult with physician or doctor, if one has skin disorders.
