When I am on the lecture circuit, I show people how I brush and "polish" my face. It was a challenge to find just the right brush to optimize my facial routine. I tried many different brushes but found that they were all too soft. Even battery powered exfoliating sets come with a separate facial brush that turns soft and mushy when turned on. You might as well use a sponge instead of most of the facial brushes out there. I finally had to design one that was effective and appealing.

I use a specially designed brush with natural bristles. Unlike other brushes, it is not too soft. Many beauty books tell you that you should not exfoliate more than twice per week. However, when you eat raw foods, your skin heals much faster. At first, you must be gentle while brushing, but gradually you can brush more vigorously. Your face will begin to glow!

I perform this procedure every day. You hopefully already eat very well, and this is great, but you must help your skin to rejuvenate on the outside as well. Many people in the raw food community look down on external beautifying procedures. This is unfortunate. They look fit and healthy, but their faces in many cases have not reached their Rawsome beauty potential. You can see the beauty of nature all around you; I believe seeing it in the mirror is wonderful as well. Facial brushing plus a good nurturing cream will make a big difference! With this complete beauty regimen, you can reach total Rawsome Beauty, from the inside out!

Exfoliation noticeably speeds the cell renewal rate, giving you new skin in a matter of minutes. Exfoliate as often as your skin will permit without becoming irritated. Gradually you can build up to where you can exfoliate every day, even twice a day. Daily exfoliation will approximate the effect of shaving, which is thought to contribute to men retaining the youthfulness of their facial skin for a longer time than women.

I am thrilled with the brush I use which, while being not only the right size and stiffness for facial use, it is also a lovely blonde color, making it aesthetically appealing as well as practical. For my beauty routine, I first dry brush my face and then follow that up with my Facial Cream. So I am offering the Facial Brush FREE to anyone who purchases two jars of my specially formulated Your Right to Be Beautiful Facial Cream. You can wash this brush once per month with soap and water.

So important is the face brushing, that I offer a FREE brush to everyone who buys two jars of my cream.

Many anti-wrinkle creams contain some form of retinol (for instance, in the form of retinyl palmitate). Retinyl palmitate, or vitamin A palmitate, is a common vitamin supplement, with the formula C36H60O2. We consume a healthy quantity of this vitamin through our daily fresh fruit and vegetable consumption. It works better from the inside.

Anti-aging creams usually contain alpha hydroxyl acid. This chemical exfoliates, or to put it another way, peels off a layer of your skin, giving it a softer look. A simple fruit mask will do the same thing since alpha hydroxyl cells are derived from fruit. The effect that you are seeking is exfoliation. Use a brush! A good facial brushing will produce much better results in a more natural way.

The first layer of the skin, the one you see, is called the epidermis. The epidermis is composed of several layers of cells; the outermost of them is made of dead skin cells called the horny layer. These flat, horny cells are about 80 percent protein and only 20 percent water. The skin sheds more than a million cells every hour. Over a period of every twenty-five to thirty days, your skin renews itself by sloughing off its outermost layer.

Experiments with human cell cultures show normal cells stop dividing when they touch their neighbors. Consequently, to speed up the process of the reproduction of new cells, dead cells must be removed. That is why daily exfoliation can make a world of difference.

Exfoliation is the most important part of a beauty regimen. We speed up the process of skin rejuvenation when we remove dead skin cells. Exfoliation energizes your face and improves circulation. All of these steps result in a better looking complexion.

A brush is also the most cost effective way to rejuvenate your skin. However, all of the facial brushes I tried were too soft. The softness makes sense when you consider that most people who eat cooked food generally have more sensitive skin. However, on raw foods, your skin will become supple and less easily irritated.

Most people do a dry body scrub, but not many do a dry facial brushing. Gentle manual facial brushing will speed up cell turnover, maximize oxygen intake, strengthen the skin's inner structure, and reverse the effects of aging. The trick is to use a good nurturing and healing cream to accelerate the skin recovery time and to allow you to use the brush daily.

Body brushing and face brushing are essential components of a health and beauty regimen, and should be done daily. Though body brushing is not a new concept, it is a commonly held belief by many in the beauty industry that brushing one's face is not necessary, and perhaps is not even beneficial.

I believe that face brushing is just as important as body brushing. Dead skin cells accumulate on the face as they do on the body. Some will slough off naturally, but only brushing can truly refresh and invigorate the face.

So important is the face brushing that I have decided to offer a FREE brush to everyone who buys two jars of the cream.

Directions: How to use the brush

When facial brushing, use a gentle, upward movement. Smooth, upward gliding strokes lift the muscles of the face instead of dragging them down. We don't need to give gravity any extra help!

Your facial brushing strokes should move up the neck and along the contour of the face. Make several gentle circling movements counter-clockwise on the right cheek and clockwise on the left always moving along the cheek muscles. Be careful never to stretch the skin. Sweep the forehead gently from the center to each temple.

The first couple of months be extra gentle! The sensation should be pleasantly stimulating. Stop immediately if it doesn’t feel good and increase the brushing intensity more gradually.

At first, the whole procedure should not last more than 30 seconds. Gradually increase the time to one, two and finally, three minutes.

After the completing the facial brushing, apply Your Right to Be Beautiful cream immediately and massage the face and neck areas in small symmetrical circles.
