Detox For Better Health and Skin

If you are determined to make this year your best year, consider a Detox for better health and beautiful skin!

Based on previous experiences through our customers, the first week of the year is a good time of the year to start implementing actions.

Starting with a Detox mindset is a good jumpstart for a new year! It’s not something new. It’s been practiced for centuries, by ancient cultures, like Ayurveda and Chinese. Basically, Detoxification is cleansing your body from the inside out.

I’m not here to say not to eat and only drink water. A serious Detoxifying program, requires medical supervision, as we can’t stop nourishing our body. The difference is nourishing our body with good things, for the body, mind, and soul. We are going to share what we know based on our experience in life and suggestions. It’s an informative article, not a strict guide to follow.

What’s the purpose of Detox

Imagine how would be the feeling every morning of 2019 and feeling 100% or very close to that! With energy, disposition, happy, feeling alive!
A Detox mindset starts with eliminating impurities and filling in our bodies with good things.

Our blood receives and distributes nutrients to all the organs in our body. If we have put the right nutrients inside, through healthy eating, drinking plenty of water, the system starts to work light and with better fuel, better performance, better skin, better mind.

Is Detox recommend to Everybody?

Yes, due to modern lifestyle, where many foods we eat, are processed, fewer fruits and vegetables in our diet, stress, and pollution, to name a few. This translates into many conditions our body feels and reacts, like irritated skin, allergies, puffy eyes or under eye bags, bloating, overweight, laziness, lack of energy.

Basic Steps For Detox

Body – We can start eliminating the bad stuff. Not necessarily for many, unfortunately, the things we like. I’m talking about cigarettes, alcohol, refined sugars, sodium, and saturated fats. If we want a clean body, these things should be out of the way.

Mind – Meditation is a great stabilizer of stress, to put our feet on earth, connect to ourselves and find out the benefits we are bringing to ourselves. Twenty (20) minutes a day is more than enough. That could start with either five (5), or ten (10) minutes.

Soul – During the meditation practice, for example, you can pray, connect to the Universal Force, Energy, God, whatever is your belief, but connect yourself with something that is bigger than us. Surrender to that moment and be grateful to be in that moment.

The Better Detox Program

Is the one you decide to start. There are many options and recipes. There are some that are done in three (3) to seven (7) days, drinking only juices from fresh fruits and vegetables, which personally is my favorite to eliminate toxins.

If we look to the Body, Mind, and Soul again as our whole system of life, we should pay attention to these things in a Detox Program

Body – Eating organic fruits and vegetables, which means no chemicals, hormones, pesticides. Include spirulina, chlorella and seaweeds, protein sources and detoxifying foods. Surging the body with liquids, fiber, and a broadly balanced diet. Eight to Twelve (8-12) glasses of water every day to help hydrate and eliminate toxins. Work out, like walking jogging, activities that will make you sweat. Every day in case you ask.

Mind and Soul – Breath profoundly and frequently. Every meditation routine starts with deep breathing. This allows the oxygen flow through the whole body feeding and eliminating toxins as well.

What Are The Results Of A Detox For The Skin

Inevitably, when we are working our body as a whole to eliminate the bad stuff, our whole body benefits from it. It’s not different in our skin. We are supporting the skin with the best ingredients to produce plenty of collagen, elastin, delivering to every single spot of the skin to receive healing nutrients.

The final result is healthy looking. With younger, glowing radiance looking. As simple as that.

One of the analogies that I like to use is to imagine a dirty cup as our body. Automatically what we would do to clean that cup? Water right!? Plenty of water and with the dirt that is stuck in the cup, we will use tools to make it clean and shine.

Let’s see we can do to specifically detox the skin.

Once you decide to detox the body, the skin starts to eliminate toxins as well through the sweat in the pores. The impurities should be removed using some “tools” which are simple to implement in our daily basis.

Removing Impurities and Dead Skin

A good cleansing step, followed by exfoliation is the best way to start promoting the new and healthy skin to come. A facial is one of the most complete detoxifying processes for the face we could begin to. As we saw in the previous post, we can promote in ourselves, if we want to, using proper products for it.

Steaming The Face for a Face Detox

With a bowl of hot water, we can do this at home, no costs involved, and with a towel over our head forming a tent, where the vapor could get to our face is the way for creating our steamer.

This is going to make it easier for the pores to release all the toxins and making it easier for the upcoming skincare products to penetrate and nourish the skin.

Masks to Keep Up Detoxifying

During the period of Detox – three to seven (3-7) days – every other day, it would be great to apply clay or mud masks. It really helps to suck the toxins from the skin as we are doing every other day. There’s no need to wait until the mud is completely cracked. Thirty minutes max is more than enough for the mask deliver what is supposed to do.

Serums are the best Partners For A Face Detox

During this Detox Period, go twice a day for the Serum, especially the ones with Plant Stem-Cells Serum, which helps hydrates the skin, while performing healing any inflammation, rejuvenating skin cells, with antioxidants and actives. When applied under the conditions described in the detox steps, it is easier for the serum to go to the deep levels of the skin.

Protecting the Skin When Doing A Facial Detox

As we are putting our skin into a detox process, protection is critical so we could take out the best of it. Two things are crucial in this step — Moisturizing and Sunscreen.

The moisturizing will seal the treatment with the serum, keeping water inside of the skin cells for longer. There are a good number of moisturizers in the market, but the best ones are those with cutting-edge actives and natural ingredients. Actives and Ingredients such as antioxidants that promote protection against UV rays, pollution, and chemicals. Marine Extracts that will deliver natural softness to the skin as it promotes collagen and elastin production.

Stick to Discipline and The Results Of Facial Detox will Show Up

The secret for everything to work is taking the first step, believing the outcomes will come with discipline. It is like any recipe. Follow the steps, wait for the results and enjoy!

Many of our customers have tried in the past years, and now they send messages to us, saying that at least once a year, a detox program is making miracles.

The other side of the coin is that if we begin to implement these good habits in our lives in a systematic way, you know what is going to happen? We won’t need any Detox process. Our lifestyle will naturally drive our growth and consequently our skin into the best version that it could be. Beautiful no matter what age we are!

Happy 2019, in good health and good skin!
