Despite your skin being your largest organ, it relies heavily on your other organs to perform its functions. If your other organs are overworked or are performing poorly, your skin will be left looking dry and dull. If your skin is looking this way then your body is telling you that you need to take better care of it. A step towards resolving this issue is a skin detox.
Performing a skin detox is simple in that you just have to avoid certain types of food and drink for a short while whilst focusing on consuming healthier alternatives. The best things to eat are fruit, vegetables and all kinds of seeds and nuts. These have all been proven to assist you in obtaining clearer, healthier skin.
You can also improve your skin by taking supplements. Probiotic products are especially good for this, and also consider milk thistle which contains many antioxidants (which help the liver regenerate and remove toxins from the body).
When it comes to drinking, you need to be sure to drink lots of water. Water is the primary force behind flushing toxins and chemicals out from your skin pores. At least 8 large glasses of it a day is recommended.
Also, you don’t want to reduce the benefits of your skin detox, by replacing certain foods for drinks that you consider a “pick me up”, such as energy drinks, alcohol or coffee, as they all contain toxins.
Don’t stay on this skin detox for longer than two weeks, at most, and it will be completely safe for your body. It is possible to feel side effects like lethargy, irritability, or headaches, but these should only occur during the first week, will be relatively minor and will pass quickly.
Stick with it and you will see clear skin almost instantaneously!
