SILKY, SOFT, SMOOTH SKIN — THE NATURAL WAY

Lesbians like to joke that girl-virgins always say the same thing after they first kiss and hold another female: “Oh, my God! Your skin is so soft!”

Stunning, blonde and Russian, my married friend Ivanka sighs as she stirs her drink. “It is such a shame that a girl cannot feel how soft her own skin is. We can feel how soft another girl’s skin is, but we have to trust our lover when we’re told our own skin is soft.”

“That’s true.” I say, “When a girl tells us our skin is soft, it seems to mean more than when a man says it.”

“That’s because she wouldn’t say it unless it were true!”

“Your skin is incredibly soft,” I say as I touch her arm.

“So is yours,” she says as she touches mine. And for the first time that day, I can almost feel how soft my skin really is.

Like many girls, my skin can get dried out and throughout my life I have used lotions, creams, and oils to try and make my skin supple, smooth and soft. Last year, I picked up Natalia Rose’s book, Raw Food Life Force Energy: Enter a Totally New Stratosphere of Weight Loss, Beauty, and Health, which I highly recommend for people wanting to lose weight and detox. The book includes some raw, cooked, and fish-based recipes, for those who are not prepared to be 100% raw vegan, but want to include more fruits and vegetables in their diet. Ms. Rose also describes natural techniques to keep your body looking and feeling great.

DRY BRUSHING

Ms. Rose recommends dry brushing your entire body before showering in the morning. This will wake you up, remove dead skin cells, and help your body tone and remove cellulite. It does this by stimulating the lymphatic system and helping it to remove lactic acid and other wastes that can contribute to cellulite. It also increases oxygen in the body which helps to wake the body up.

At my Long’s, I was able to purchase a body bath brush with a long wood handle for only $4.99. I followed Ms. Rose’s technique and began first by brushing the tops of my feet, then up my calves, and then up my thighs. If there is any fat you don’t like on your legs, take a moment and brush those areas in circles to tighten and firm those areas.

Move to your backside and brush the buttocks upward. Again, if there’s any fat you don’t like, take a moment to brush those areas in circles.

Then go to your hands and start brushing up your arms. Make certain to brush the armpit area thoroughly as this is the major lymphatic drainage region. Then down your chest, down your breasts and slowly around the abdomen (circling the abdomen too fast can upset the digestive tract).

Finally, brush your back in downwards strokes. The whole process should take between 3 and 5 minutes.

Your body should feel alive and energized, and each day you brush, you will see your skin tighten and get softer and smoother. Within a week, I had no need for body lotions and my dry skin problem was gone. My husband could not believe how soft my skin became so fast and started dry brushing his skin, too. He was amazed at how awake he felt each time he dry brushed his skin in the morning, and you will, too!
