I understand that is a normal part of the fasting process and I was just reading today in a book called "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" that it is recommended to "dry-brush massage yourself before, during and after the fast to help rid the skin of toxins and dead cells. They say to "use a natural bristle brush that has a long handle, so you can reach your back. Always brush toward the heart - from wrist to elbow, elbow to shoulder, ankles to knees, knees to hips and so on. The massage will flake away large amounts of dead skin, freeing the pores of impediments, and in turn, helping the skin to excrete poisons. It will also greatly improve circulation." They go on to say not to use the technique on areas of the body affected by acne, eczema, or psoriasis. Also avoid brushing areas that are broken or recently scarred, or that have protruding varicose veins.

Hope that helps.
