Detox Your Skin For True Natural Beauty

Taking care of your skin is a necessity not a luxury.

The skin is by far and away the body's largest organ and is constantly in contact with all the earthly elements. Pollutants like dust and dirt, as well as smoke-filled rooms and stale air, can clog up the pores and lead to unwanted skin outbreaks!

A poor diet and circulation problems can be the root cause of blemishes and unexplained redness. Healthy skin is also an important part of other bodily functions and acts as a barrier against dangerous outside influences on other organs, and thereby supports the immune system.

Learning how to detox your skin will give you the chance to show off beautiful, glowing skin that feels as beautiful as it looks.

Clean up inside first!

Your skin is the outward sign of what is going on in your body. Too much sun, stress plus an unhealthy diet, can result in skin problems such as uneven skin tone, blemishes and dull looking skin. These issues develop because the skin cannot perform its function of eliminating toxins properly when the body is toxic. This can damage collagen and elastin in the skin, the elements that help the skin stay young.

Research has shown that a major issue with skin eruptions and a lifeless-looking complexion, is too much acid in the system as a result of bad eating habits. A good way to start a healthy eating plan, is to make certain that your acid/alkaline levels are in sync and that the acidic overload in your system is reduced.

Here are some tips to get you started.

Cut out as much refined foods as possible from your diet. Alternatively, drastically cut down on your intake of things such as cakes, biscuits, bread rolls, bread, pasta, fizzy drinks, sweets and chocolates. When these delicacies hit the stomach they turn into acid, rendering the body unable to deal effectively with the excess acid. Skin breakouts and rashes often result.
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. A balanced diet of acid/alkaline foods will ensure that good nutrients are sent to the skin.
Reduce alcohol intake. Give up or cut down smoking. The impurities in cigarettes always show in the complexion as dry, old looking skin.

Stick to your healthy diet and you will soon begin to feel better physically and see a difference in the appearance of your skin, even before you detox!

What are my options for detoxing my skin?

Your skin helps to eliminate waste from the body mainly through the sweat glands. Dead skin cells are also a form of bodily waste, which need to be removed, to assist the growth of new epidermal cells to replace those which are constantly being shed.

There are various ways to detox the skin, such as having a sauna to encourage sweating, or adding apple cider vinegar and Epsom salts to your bath which will draw toxins out through the skin. You can even try a natural clay mask for the face.

However, a highly effective, yet simple method, known as exfoliation, will undoubtedly be your best option.

What is exfoliation?

Exfoliation is the removal of the dead cells on the surface of the skin, a process which has been used for many years to maintain healthy skin.
Exfoliation is beneficial because it gets rid of stubborn dead cells that make your skin look lifeless and dull, and reveals younger, fresh cells below.
Regular exfoliation also helps to combat signs of aging by removing damaged skin and encouraging the growth of new skin.
This process needs to be performed no more than once or twice weekly, with extra care being taken of the delicate facial skin.
Exfoliation is a cost-effective, simple protocol which unclogs blocked pores and is beneficial to the entire body.

Are there special tools I need to use?

Exfoliation gloves are all you will have to purchase. The gloves are designed for use on every part of the body, and are especially useful for use on the legs and other large areas, where anything smaller than an exfoliating glove will be too time consuming, and certainly not as effective.

Beauty junkies, for a brand new flawless complexion, an exfoliation glove is the way to go!
