eliminates acids and old skin cells, promotes circulation, and regenerates new skin growth.
Body brushing enables the skin to breathe and cleanses the lymphatic system, which
contains about 44 pints of lymphatic fluid. The circular motions of tai chi, dancing, swimming, etc., pump the lymph nodes to help circulate the lymph fluid.
Body brushing before a shower may have some merit, but I recommend doing it AFTER a
shower to cleanse what the shower misses. Do circular body brushing around the feet,
ankles, knees, buttocks, joints, and face. Brush up and down on the arms, legs, and back.
Downward brushing under the arms, and then circular brushing around the breasts are very
important for lymphatic drainage. Invest in several firm, natural bristle body brushes for your face and body to maintain healthy skin.
To cleanse the skin, use cold water and a mild, chemical-free skin wash such as goat milk or
herbal liquid soap. AVOID harsh soaps, which dry the skin. Nubian Heritage produces
some of the finest natural soaps. Goat’s Milk & Chai w/Rose Extracts is one of their nicest.

To close the pores, gently rub ice on the face. To help correct the skin’s pH and fade age spots, apply fresh lemon juice several times a week. Rice vinegar and Witch Hazel can also help balance the skin’s pH.
FACIALS
Facials, which are enjoyable, promote circulation and help cleanse the skin. However, it is important to be selective with what products and moisturizers are used in the process. AVOID products containing harmful chemicals.
FRESH AIR, SUNSHINE, EXERCISE
Plenty of fresh air, sufficient sunshine, and exercise on a daily basis are also necessary for
healthy, glowing skin. Get outdoors as much as possible withOUT sunglasses and exercise.
GUT HEALTH
Often referred to as the body’s second brain, the gut also plays a big part the health of the
body’s skin. To create and maintain healthy gut flora, and in turn healthy skin, AVOID
antibiotics and other medications; refined sugar and carbs; damaged fats/oils; GMOs’;
fluoride; junk food; soda; coffee and other acidic, caffeine drinks. Parasites and bacterial
infection from food, water, and poor hygiene can also damage gut flora. Good hygiene with
your body (washing hands, etc.), in food preparation, and in the kitchen are vital. To help restore and maintain healthy gut flora, consume a wholesome, gluten-free, sugar-free, diet that includes unrefined omega 3 EFAs in balance, quality protein, organic fruits and
vegetables, prebiotics, and probiotics.

HYDRATION & RESTRUCTURED WATER
Water is the most important nourishment for the skin. However, not all water is created
equal. Therefore, the type of water consumed is very important. Pure, restructured/
revitalized water provides the best hydration. To learn more about water read the following
books: “Dancing With Water” second edition by MJ Pangman and Melanie Evans.
“The Hidden Messages in Water, Messages from Water” and “The Universe and The Secret Life of Water” by Dr. Musari Emoto.
“Your Body’s Many Cries For Water” and “Water, For Health, For Healing, For Life” by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj.
