Wow, I am now starting to notice a difference in my body from the skin brushing. I've lost about 2 pounds, my body appears more muscular in certain areas (arms, and the sides of my stomach) and my tushy :-) and legs are firmer! I've been brushing once a day for the last 16 days before my hot/cold shower. I have been using up and down, side to side, and circular strokes. Probably takes me 5-7 minutes.- Re: Skin brushing results becca007

This is a reply to # 616,561I have been skin brushing about a month and have lost about 11 pounds and a whole pants size. I had not told anyone about the skin brushing....most in my immediate circle aren't in to things like this. You are right...I am firming up and the celluite is vanishing.
I am so glad you posted!- Re: Skin brushing results elly

This is a reply to # 616,562How often a day are you brushing to reap such good rewards.
That is very impressive. I have done it off and on for years but never stuck with it.Now that i know your experience with it, maybe i will give another try.

This is a reply to # 616,563I brush once each day. I brush 8-10 strokes....I brush longer on problem areas. It takes 10-15 minutes if I am very thorough. Now skin is very smooth....even without lotion or oil. I didn't brush one day (was in a hurry and just had time for a shower)and I could really tell that I missed it. The first week I had a lot of bumps and boils come up on various parts of my body....I must have been really toxic! I drink 10-12 glasses of water a day (even before I started skin brushing).....so if you are not a water drink you'll definetly need to increase your water intake. I am hypothyroid and insulin resistant....so it's been very hard for me to loose weight (even with a good diet) so this was a real boost for me...losing weight without trying. I also feel better emotionally. I would highly recommend skin brushing!

Thank you for all the info.
Maybe i will start today again doing skin brushing.
I do have some good quality skin brushes that have laid unopen for a few years, looks like its time to open them and put them to good use.
I have read in the past not to brush facial skin, what is your take on this?
Anyone else out there give me an answer on this.
Thanx- Re: Skin brushing results -Becca nspeth

This is a reply to # 616,566Becca....your results are awesome! I'm glad you posted too!
Elly.....you will be so glad you started skin brushing again! Give it time to work. At first I had no idea if it was even working but I kept at it. As far as brushing the face, I wouldn't. The skin there is more sensitive. What I do is lightly scrub my face about 2 times per week with a natural sea sponge. This works great. The sponge I have is from Aubrey Organics. I really like it.

This is a reply to # 616,567I have a little facial all natural skin brush that I bough at my chiropractors. It felt so rough to me (I have sensitive facial skin anyway) that I wet it and my face while I brush in circles. The first time I did it my face had slight redenning on the cheeks which I get from time to time (probably from a little blockage somewhere, after I do liver and candida cleansing it always clears up for a long time), after the brushing effect wore off it was gone and my face looked so clear. I went to town and saw a couple of friends, they both remarked on how glowing my complexion was. They said it was peaches n cream, which with all the freckles I have that didn't seem possible but anyway...that complement was enough for me to keep up with it. After that first time I was not sure I wanted to again, wasn't sure it was worth the scratchy feeling. But the more I do it either the softer the brush gets or the more my face gets used to it, not sure which.
Becca, for hypothyroid coconut oil is wonderful for increasing your metabolism even further, you might like to give it a try. I am blown away by all that coconut oil can do and am fixing to order five gallons of it (which will be a five month supply for my husband and I taking 4 tablespoons a day). I am really impressed and amazed at what it can do and will be using it as part of my weight loss regimen after the baby. :)- Re: Facial brushing, coconut oil Bec... becca007

This is a reply to # 616,568I had read about the benefits of skin brushing and thought "oh, that's something I should try" and it would come up in my mind from time to time....but I am soooo glad that I tried it. I usually by this time of year am experiencing seasonal Depression (to some degree...some years severe...some years mild), I don't know if the skin brushing is helping with that...but I feel better than I have ever felt physically and emotionally. Perhaps I feel better because I am fighting for my health all around. I have done two parasite cleanses, been working on my candida issues and am beginning to address liver issues.
I have several BM's a day and drink lots of water so I was surprised at the level of toxicity in my body.
I have coconut oil and I cook with it occasionally. It was surprisingly good. I have heard some people eat it right out of the spoon?
Anyway...I encourage everyone to try the skin brushing!

This is a reply to # 616,569The reason i was asking about face brushing i have a few broken capillaries on my cheeks and i thought it might aggravate, from all the brushing.
Becca that website mentioned facial exercises, i have also done that off and on over the years, but am not sure whether it ever helped.
I bought a book on accupressure face massage in 1990, by Lindsay Wagner. It is a very good book. Very simple and easy exercises. Takes about 15 -20 mins. to do exercises.
The first time i tried back then my face became very warm, it felt very good.
Also another book i own that has facial exercises "Body Reflexology" by Mildred Carter.
It very good facial exercises as well, but her method take about 1 hour aday.- Re: Facial brushing, coconut oil Bec... becca007

This is a reply to # 616,570Elly,
I have been contemplating the facial exercises.
Three years ago I had what I thought was Bell's Palsy...but later found out it was a stroke. I still have some paralysis on the left side of my face. I had my own massage routine...but I am sure the exercises would help somewhat. After this lenght of time though I probably won't get 100%...but maybe. :)
Try skinbrushing every day for a week and see how you feel!- Re:coconut oil Becca&Elly MentalNomad

This is a reply to # 616,572I used to eat it right out of the spoon. :) When I became pregnant for some reason I could not tolerate the taste plain any longer though, and just used it in cooking. I'm hoping after I have the baby it will taste good to me again. :) It isn't like drinking oil somehow because it is so light. I used to try drinking flaxseed oil everyday and just couldn't do it--I just couldn't drink oil. I take cod liver oil everyday, but in emulsfied form so I can tolerate it. I probably sound like a big wimp...but I just can not stand to drink oil very well. Amazing that I have done as many Liver Cleanses as I have...
Coconut oil is wonderful for helping in fight against candida because of it's anti-viral, anti-parisitical, anti-fungal properties.
Elly, on the coconut info yahoo group two different people said they had broken capilliaries on their face and have been putting virgin coconut oil on them and they are disappearing! You might give it a try. :) I don't know about the skin brushing on something that is broken...to me I wonder if it wouldn't just make it worse too but you never know till you try! That is if you want to, all up to you...Caitlin Lorraine- Re:coconut oil Becca&Elly becca007

This is a reply to # 616,573Caitlin,
I am a big wimp too when it comes to drinking oil.
I can tolerate flax oil mixed with cottage cheese (recommended by Johanna Budwig). I did a "mini" liver flush...take 1 cup of grapefruit juice and 1-2 tbsp. of oil oil for ten days. I did see some improvements, but I KNOW a regular flush would be better for me. I have read so many positive experiences in the live flush forum. I am *thinking* about going for it this weekend.
What is the cod liver oil supposed to do for you?
I remember my Grandpa used to take it ...but I don't remember what for?
Yes, perhaps you will get your sense of taste back after the baby. I know when I was pregnant that my sense of taste and smell was very sensitive. Things I hated I craved...things I loved made me see? Go figure.

This is a reply to # 616,574I like Dr. Schultz's liver cleanse, on the 5th day you have 5 tabelspoons of olive oil and that is the most oil you take. I can take all the nasty herbs, why oil is such a problem for me I'm not sure. Actually I have done several flushes too, and really when you get enough grapefruit juice in there with the olive oil and shake it up real well it helps quite a bit. Seeing as it was just an occaisional thing, not an everyday thing I think that helped me tolerate it more. :) The oil isn't why I stopped doing the flushes actually, I just never had a good experience with them--not sure why. I feel wonderful after doing Schultz's cleanse, so much energy and helps my brain be clearer also. I do a Colon Cleanse right before too so its probably a combination of both. Schultz's is more expensive and more time consuming, but I just get such great results I'll never do another epsom salt, olive oil, or orthophosphoric flush again. Cleansing all the way for me baby...I need to buy me a few more of the herbs and I'll be all set to make mix my own up so it will not be near as expensive that way. Are you thinking about doing the Hulda Clark flush with Epsom Salts ? If so, she says you can put half of a lemon in each dose of espom salts and let me tell you that makes it much easier to get down! :) She said you could have a little brown Sugar or ketchup after to get the taste out of your mouth and that is very helpful too. Or else it seems to linger forever...
I take the cod liver oil for it's high concentration of essential fatty acids in the form of omega 3s. Essential fatty acids are great for a lot of things but it's been so long since I did the research I am not sure if I can remember it acurrately enough to retell it...They are good for allergies, brain function, ezema and psorisis, candida, basically every cell in your body...and I know there is more. I take a tablespoon each day, and my little fifteen month old girl takes a teaspoon. It is emulsified and orange flavored so she thinks it tastes wonderful and is a treat! :) The EFA's also make your skin more elastic and I have not had any new stretch marks this pregnancy, though there were so many from Angel's that it probably is but a small victory...but be happy in the little things! :) It will also help my skin go back to its original location when I lose the weight from both of these pregnancies, in combination with the skin brushing. :)
Have a good weekend! Caitlin Lorraine- Re: Essential Fatty Acids becca007

This is a reply to # 616,576Caitlin,
Hi...Yes, I *think* I am going to do the Hulda Clark flush. Probably Sunday night. I am preparing myself mentally!
I am taking Ultimate Oil by Nature's Secret it contains:
Alpha-lineolic acid
Lineolic acid
Oleic acid
Gamma linolenic acid
*from pumpkin, flax, black currant and safflower seed oils*
You are right...it's great for the skin.
My kid's are 19 months apart...I know where you are. :)

This is a reply to # 616,561You know it makes a lot of sense. I was thinking about what you were saying about losing weight since starting your skin brushing and it fits right in with the book I am reading called The Fat Flush Plan. What Ann Louise Gittleman 's tells is that our liver and our lymph systems are our biggest fat burning systems in our body. Very interesting stuff. She also talks about the importance of healthy fats in our diet, she says fat burns fat when it is the right fat (ie: olive oil, flax and so forth). You have inspired me to get a skin brush as soon as I can :o).
Happy brushing!
Poppyseed
P.S. If anyone is interested you can read more about her book and diet plan at ivillage, which is where she got her start in getting the fat flush plan out there. But she has been a registered dietician for a lot more years than this.http://www.ivillage.com/diet/features/fatflush/articles/0,5050,222480_13884,0...

This is a reply to # 616,578Your right about the liver and lymph glands.
I have also read that book as well.
I read elsewhere that if your liver isn't functioning properly you will have a difficult time losing weight.
Brush away!!!
