Along with the lungs and other internal organs, our skin is also capable of removing toxins. Of course, it is in our interests to help her in this matter!
During the detox period, it is worth treating the choice of cosmetics with the same attention as the choice of food. “It is better to be guided by the composition of the product, and not by the promised effect,” says cosmetologist Olga Kozelskaya. “And reduce the amount of potentially toxic substances coming from outside: for example, use deodorants without parabens and aluminum salts, fluoride-free toothpaste, a minimum of lipstick, styling products and nail polish and, if possible, replace creams with oils.” To stimulate the cleansing of the body, the beautician recommends several simple and effective ways.
Scrub
can be used up to several times a week: for the health and beauty of the skin during this period, it is especially important to exfoliate dead skin cells. Also, a loofah washcloth and a brush with natural bristles on a long handle are suitable for deep cleansing. Before the bath, walk all over the body, making circular stroking movements on the skin in the direction from the feet up to the very head.
Sauna
especially infrared, enhances sweating and maximizes the elimination of toxins. The fact is that infrared rays penetrate deeper than the heat of a conventional sauna and stimulate blood circulation, which is especially useful during detoxification. Remember to drink clean water during and after the procedure.
