Your skin is a major organ of elimination and detoxification €“ just like your liver, colon and kidneys. Your lymphatic system uses your skin to help detox and it over one third of your body€s daily Impurities are excreted through your skin. So when we talk about your Mio goal of having FIT, healthy, well-functioning skin, you now know exactly why it is so important. As we get a little older, our skin becomes less efficient at this whole detox/elimination process and less effective at naturally shedding the layers of dead skin cells that clog up the surface. Body brushing is a fast and very effective way of helping keep your skin in peak condition.
