One
of
the
simplest
methods
both
of
improvising
the
texture
of
the
skin
and
accelerating
its
functional
processes
is
found
in
dry
friction.
This
friction
can
be
applied
with
the
palm
of
the
hand,
with
a
rough
towel,
or
with
friction
brushes.
In
order
to
secure
the
greatest
advantages
of
a
friction
bath
it
is
advisable
to
brush
or
rub
the
surface
of
every
part
of
the
body
until
it
assumes
a
pinkish
glow
from
the
increased
peripheral
circulation
induced
by
the
friction.
Where
the
skin
is
rough
or
covered
with
pimples
this
suggestion
is
of
especial
value.
When
using
friction
brushes
for
this
purpose
one
should
not
attempt
to
use
very
stiff
brushes
in
the
beginning,
for
they
will
scratch
too
much.
Soft,
fair
skins
usually
cannot
stand
such
rough
treatment
as
well
as
can
a
thicker
skin,
or
one
which
is
oily
in
character.
In
many
cases
a
dry
Turkish
bath
towel
will
answer
the
purpose
splendidly.
If
the
skin
is
rather
tender
it
suffices
to
use
the
palms
of
both
hands.
After
becoming
accustomed
to
the
friction,
however,
you
will
find
that
you
will
be
able
to
enjoy
stiffer
brushes
and
I
would
suggest
using
a
fairly
stiff
brush
so
long
as
it
is
not
too
uncomfortable.
You
will
find
that
as
you
become
accustomed
to
the
treatment
the
skin
will
become
softer
and
smoother
as
a
result.
Also
it
will
become
more
active.
This
dry
friction
bath
may
be
taken
each
morning
following
your
exercises.
If
you
take
a
cold
bath
it
should
follow
the
friction.
First
exercise,
then
employ
the
friction
rub,
and
then
bathe.
I
would
suggest
that
from
five
to
ten
minutes
at
least
be
devoted
to
this
friction.
It
will
furnish
some
exercise
in
connection
with
the
rubbing,
will
quicken
the
general
circulation,
and
will
give
you
that
warmth
of
body
which
makes
the
cold
bath
desirable
and
delightful.
