Give it to me Raw

I have a question on "dry" skin brushing. I'm not sure given my lifestyle when is best time to incorporate this cleansing regimen. I suppose I could do it on awakening, after my glass of water, but my understanding is that one is supposed to shower after. This wouldn't work for me, as I work out in early mornings (if I don't do it first thing of the day, I tend not to do it, so there's zero question of exercising later in day). I usually run or do 75 minutes of prana power yoga (a flow practice in a heated room). Which means I sweat and my skin is not exactly "dry" and even if it were to be dry - if I'm biking home from yoga on a cooler day - it's not clean. Anyway, I guess my question is can I do the dry skin brushing after a vigorous workout during which I've sweated profusely? Should I towel dry first? Is it a problem that my skin is not clean? Is there a risk of pushing the toxins that I've released during the workout back into my skin? One thing I thought of was jumping in the shower for a couple of minutes, towel drying, skin brushing, getting back in shower ... Any athletes here have any thoughts? Thanks in advance ...

Hi Goddess Durga,

If you sweat in your workouts each morning then you will be fine to dry brush your body as soon as you wake up before you go to workout. The toxins will still be released as you sweat. Dry skin brushing works before a shower or a sweating session.

Makes it easier with your schedule, doesn't it!

Have fun
Casey

I would love to know your plan for escaping mandatory vaccines, but I don't reckon you'll want to post it here. :(

I have never dried them myself, but in France and Italy you can buy them already dried (at what temperature I don't know). It was awhile since I ate them (before I went raw).

My saliva has never commented on how I smell. But my mouth tastes fine. And, in case you were wondering, my various excretions all smell good too!
