I get questions about whether I used T-Tapp's brushing system and here's the skinny. I brushed from Day One. I've continued to brush consistently for more than three years. Every day? Uh, no. But 4-6 days a week, yes. Life happens and there have been times when I didn't brush for a few days, but I started back up because I like what it does for my skin. I believe that skin brushing and alfalfa were the key factors in tightening my skin as I lost 9 sizes and well over 135". I don't have loose, hanging skin like you see in those pictures of people after massive weight loss.
At first it took longer than 5 minutes because there was a lot of me to brush. After a while I stopped brushing in front of the mirror because it was too easy to be critical of my appearance. The routine for me was work out, shower, brush, get dressed. Many people work out, brush and then shower. I worked out my routine because my brush got too stinky too fast if I used it before a shower, and I'm always looking for ways to clean things less often. And just like T-Tapp, the routine that works is the routine you'll actually do.
I have this documented on my calendar (and in an early forum post): after 7 days of brushing, the crepe-y skin in my cleavage was smooth and tight. Wow. Sold!

Thank you. I was just thinking about this very thing today. :)
ReplyDeleteI did some googling and found a blog that talks about face brushing too.
It's time...gotta do it!
God bless~

Brushing, Brushure (or BrOchure as you write it :) ), it helps indeed. Gives also another workout for the arms! It's easy to use, doesn't take long and has good effects... What's more to ask? ! I do take 12 alfalfa / day to help with water retention in particular.
ReplyDeleteWill see more and more results in near future, with your help my success is already an amazing story.
Thanks for sharing,

Wondering....how many alfalfa did/do you take? Thanks for this blog, Charlotte, it is so encouraging.

During my weight loss I was pretty consistent in taking 6-9/day. Right now I really try to remember to take at least 8-12/day because of hormonal issues. I do notice a positive difference in my skin (more moist and smooth) when I am consistent. I just had an idea to start carrying alfalfa in my purse and keep some in my desk so I'll remember to take it in the middle of the day.
ReplyDeleteJohanne, you're right that brushing is some more exercise for those arms!
Hi Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you I got my brushing set in the mail!! It was my Mother's Day gift! :) (my husband suggested I order a book online, if there was something on my wishlist, and I chose this. He's a good man!)
Your newest post was encouraging for me to stick with it. Sometimes the big picture overwhelms me, and it seems impossible, but I need to remember to be faithful in the day-by-day steps.
God bless~
