Body brushing should be done on dry skin, with a dry brush. You should do it before your bath or shower, everyday for maximum results. When body brushing, you should use quick, light strokes. The idea is to start at your extremities, and brush toward your heart. I like to start with my palm, and brush up my arms toward the heart. I continue onto the shoulders, and then the waistline. I then do the other arm. Then, I start on the soles of my feet, working up each leg. The buttocks is brushed next, and finally the abdomen.

You should avoid the face, sensitive areas, and any broken skin. Facial brushing can be done with a brush specifically made for your face. A body bursh is much too harsh. If your skin turns red, you are applying too much pressure. You should wash your brush once a week, and allow it to dry completely before using it.

So you can see that it is easy to get beautiful skin, even if you have hypothyroidism. All you will need is a natural bristle brush, and about five minutes a day.
