Does anyone practice skin brushing and do you think it helps with excess skin? I did it for a while a few years ago and it was invigorating, but I wasn't loosing weight, so don't know if it had any effect. I'm now 7 weeks post op and the "shar pei" signs are starting and I wondered if this might help. For those who aren't familiar: skin brushing is a practice that's supposed to rid you of toxin based on the premise that your skin is your largest organ. You use a soft hog bristle brush and brush in short strokes from your extremities to your stomach - doing all your skin. When I did it, it felt great (probably the same way my dog feels after I brush her, LOL!) and it probably exfoliated pretty well. It's a little tedious to do, but probably wouldn't hurt. Wonder if it will save me from too much plastic surgery (probably not! I'm already feeling saggy/baggy!) Any thoughts you have would be appreciated!
