DETOX: How to detoxify your body... and skin!
The connection between skin health and our lifestyle is very close. Diet, the environment in which we live, the emotional situation in which we find ourselves, are factors that influence our health and, consequently, that of our skin.
In fact, often when the skin appears visibly dull, lifeless, atonic and with more impurities than usual, it could mean that we have an accumulation of toxins that have excessively stressed our organism.
Let's talk about toxins...
To keep our body healthy it is important that toxins are eliminated correctly.
Toxins can come from the external environment or from our own body.
They are a waste product and must be disposed of properly so as not to negatively affect our biochemical balance.
An excess of toxins can mean tiredness, headaches and gastrointestinal problems;
As a result, the skin will also manifest this accumulation of harmful substances with rashes and an unbalanced pH.
And this is where "detox" comes in.
Detox, or detoxification, is a practice that consists in helping the body to eliminate toxins.
The liver is the main organ responsible for eliminating toxins , so to help it do its job, we need to keep it healthy!
Focus on the plate
To detoxify we must first focus on our diet.
An unhealthy, sugary and unbalanced diet is the main culprit in liver fatigue.
To detoxify ourselves, it is not necessary to fast or drink only purifying herbal teas, it is useful instead to bring healthy and balanced dishes to the table, cooked mainly at home with fresh and seasonal ingredients and filling up on vegetables.
In fact, seasonal vegetables are the first allies we have to introduce important nutritional properties such as antioxidants and vitamins.
Vegetables, being made up of more than 75% water and being rich in fiber, keep the liver and bile efficient, reduce the absorption of sugars and promote intestinal transit and diuresis.
Eating seasonally also contributes to environmental sustainability!
Skin free from toxins
Our skin gives us a way to verify an accumulation of toxins in our body through a dull and gray complexion, rashes, excess sebum and dandruff.
It plays an important role in our health, so let's first help this organ from the inside with proper nutrition and ensuring it is properly hydrated. 💧
Drinking often during the day is essential because water stimulates the processes of sweating and the elimination of waste substances through different pathways.
Detoxifying skincare
With skincare we can intervene starting from cleansing, to eliminate all those toxins that come from the external environment and accumulate daily on the surface .
Excellent allies are all those treatments that promote the expulsion of toxins from the surface layer of the skin, such as purifying and detoxifying masks.
Serums act in a specific way thanks to the targeted active ingredients they contain. Applying a serum with free radical-fighting ingredients every day is an excellent habit that helps prevent skin aging.
The moisturizing cream can have an extra plus because its formula is rich in ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. In this way, in fact, the regeneration process is promoted!
