Salt should have the texture of wet sand (granular, not soupy)
Undress and stand or sit in bathtub. Make sure you are secure so you do not slip
Take a handful of salt and rub vigorously in circular motion towards the heart (same routine as skin-brushing).
Do not skimp on salt
After doing the whole body, repeat, rubbing off the salt from the first application
Now shower with lukewarm water; going from warm to cold. When the water turns cold, let it hit your legs first. Do not let it hit your heart or head first as this can cause a slight shock to the body.
Regular Salt Glows will help ease constipation, swelling, skin conditions, poor circulation, fatigue, stiffness, headaches and arthritis.
Dry Skin Brush Massage Procedure - Brush for Beauty
This routine is done morning and night during the program and once a day after the program is completed.
A long-handled natural bristle brush is best. Never use a synthetic brush.
Brush skin lightly to start. As the skin becomes toned you may brush more heavily.
Start at the bottom of the feet using a rotary or circular motion and then proceed to the legs, arms, back, abdomen and chest. Women should avoid doing the breasts. Never wet-brush and always brush toward the heart. Continue until your skin acquires a red glow. Skin brushing should take about 10 minutes.
Skin-brush as soon as you wake up and before retiring. This will refresh the body in the morning and relax it before bed.
A shower should always follow skin-brushing. This will remove uric acid crystals along with any dead skin that has been loosened.
Always start your shower with warm water and end with cold. When the water turns cold, let it hit your legs first. Do not let it hit your heart or head first as this can cause a slight shock to the body. Once the water is cold, do not linger.
Baths can be unsanitary. When the pores open, they allow the toxins to be reabsorbed. Avoid hot showers; when showering in high temperatures; toxic chemicals are carried in the steam. Warm showers are best if you do not have a shower filter.
Soaps should always be used but do not soap the entire body. Areas to be soaped are the underarms and groin region. Rinse soap off thoroughly to avoid clogging of pores.
