What if I told you there was a simple wellness trick that only takes five minutes a day cost nothing and helps cleanse your body inside and out wow it's called dry skin brushing you talk about their health benefit is Jeff Van Hecke national sales manager from Yerba Prima. Good morning.

Good morning. Can you see I'm excited?

You are.

Inside and out cleanse your body.

That's right. This is great!

Alright, Jeff.

What is dry brushing?

Well, it's exactly what it sounds like.

Okay well, it's exactly what it sounds like.

Dry brushing the skin and it's in a certain pattern to help stimulate the lymphatic system and kick toxins out of the body.

So why would people do this?

Brush their skin?.

well, it's very important because the lymphatic system has no central pumping mechanism. Ok so it has to travel backward in an upward motion towards the heart and when you move it along with the dry brush it; had actually helped to stimulate the part of that process removing toxins from the body. And the benefits are the? Benefits are healthier happier body ok going to help to remove those toxins those unwanted toxins from the body it also helps to exfoliate the dead skin cells which is very important because you're opening up the pores and you're bringing the new cells to the light of day. .

And of course I'm going to bring to life something that many women worry about which is cellulite, like not that I have anything ok, But just in case I do, just show me how this works and how it would improve cellulite.

Ok well, let you know this is actually being used by a lot of salons and alternative health practitioners throughout the country for detox and also for cellulite as a beauty brush. .

What you want to do is you want to start on the outer parts of the body so you would start with the hands and the feet, you would go with up your legs, you want to come up your arms brush your back and then do your torso and you want to start very gently because you don't want to irritate the skin especially if you've never done a dry skin brush before but it's, get over time this will actually get softer and you can adjust the amount of pressure that you need. .

I would do this before the bathroom or after I would assume before. You would do it before showering and it'll help you feel you feel invigorated after doing it usually use it for about two to three minutes and get in the shower is going to help to wash away all the dead skin cells and it's also going to help to get rid of those toxins.

And what about wrinkles and I use it here. No, you would not want to use it on your face. Not on my face. Not the waist, the breast or the groin. Okay yeah, those are good areas not to do it and after I do it what would I notice? I'm gonna try it. You're going to notice your skin is going to feel much better. You're going to just go to feel more supple, you're actually, you're kicking out to toxins so you're going to feel invigorated that way and overall you're going to be improving your health.

And what do you tell the sceptics out there, that say, Come on! Come on! A dry brush? .

I'll tell you, dry brushing is actually been used by cultures around the world for hundreds if not thousands of years and so this is not a new concept by any stretch and we've actually we invented the category of cleansing whole body detoxing over 35 years ago in the natural foods industry so I tell my sceptics you can count on Yerba Prima. Ok, thank you so much. That was of great information. Can keep it? .

Absolutely. I'm going to try dry brushing tonight.
