Detoxing your body is a very popular practice for both body and mind. But is it possible to have similar effects on your skin? When you detox your skin, you are encouraging your skin to be protected from various environmental things that can affect your skin. Once you’ve done this your skin can look more energised than before.
"Our body responds to an accumulation of toxins by eliciting feelings of pain or disease," says Dr. Goldfaden. "As skin is the largest organ of the body, toxicity can often manifest itself as recurring conditions such as eczema, redness or breakouts." Our skin comes into contact with toxins in everything from animals to cars. It’s impossible to avoid, however, you can protect your skin with the help of antioxidants. These are a substance that can be found in many fruits that helps to protect your skin from oxidation and free radicals. Limiting the amount of damage that free radicals do to your skin, can help to protect the lower layers of your skin from signs of premature ageing.
As a result, the right skincare routine can prove key to detoxing and re-energising your skin. Make sure to use a day cream or serum that is high antioxidants every day to protect it from free radical damage. In addition to this, help to look after your skin with exfoliation. Some people are a little wary when it comes to exfoliating your skin as it’s believed that it can dry your skin. If you do this process no more than 2 times a week, even those with dry skin will reap many benefits. It works to help improve the circulation under your skin and stimulate the release of toxins caught in the pores.
