Skin Detox<br />
the<br />
Natural Way<br />
As a makeup artist I get asked how to get clear<br />
skin all the time. I‟ve heard so many different<br />
things people are recommended to do; from<br />
massages to peculiar potions. There are no<br />
shortcuts in having fantastic skin, unless you<br />
naturally have good skin, but even then care<br />
should be taken with your skin as it is the largest<br />
organ we have.<br />
Sometimes the biggest mistake we make is that<br />
we don‟t understand how skin works. The trick is<br />
that skin requires simple and consistent actions to<br />
finally get clear. Skin has many layers sectioned<br />
in three parts, the epidermis, dermis and<br />
subcutaneous tissue. The deeper layer of dermis<br />
takes around 4 to 6 weeks to surface to the<br />
epidermis layer. This means any change in diet<br />
will take round this length of time to show on<br />
your skin.<br />
Below are a list of things that are beneficial the<br />
most popular of course, is drinking water. Water<br />
is an important part of detoxifying. It delivers<br />
nutrients to our cells and keeps our kidneys<br />
functioning well, but also helps remove wastes<br />
and toxins which clear skin. You have to be<br />
consistent and it‟s recommended to drink 6 to 8<br />
glasses a day.<br />
Exercise also helps, jogging, dancing, walking,<br />
anything at all. This will raise your blood<br />
circulation, loosen up your muscles and crucially,<br />
get rid of excess toxins through sweating. Going<br />
to the sauna also helps eliminate toxins through<br />
sweating.<br />
Dry body brushing stimulates circulation, the<br />
gentle massaging motions of the bristles have a<br />
beneficial effect on areas of cellulite, and it is an<br />
effective treatment for helping to eliminate toxins<br />
from the body. It will leave your skin with a<br />
bright, youthful glow as it removes dead skin cells<br />
that clog pores and encourages cell renewal.<br />
Diet plays a big role, certain food should be<br />
avoided e.g. alcohol, caffeine and saturated fats<br />
(found in many dairy products and processed<br />
foods). These interfere with liver functioning, so<br />
they are vital to decrease or leave out altogether<br />
during your detox.<br />
Good quality grains like quinoa, oats and brown<br />
rice should be eaten as part of healthy eating.<br />
Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage<br />
should be included in your diet. Snacking on fruit<br />
such as berries, apricots, melons and grapes can<br />
be very beneficial and help fill you up.<br />
