A sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, poor environment and bad habits lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body. It is because of them that the skin becomes dull, and you feel a breakdown. However, the situation can be corrected.

Add to this stress, a sedentary lifestyle, lack of sleep – the excretory system is simply not able to perform such a volume of work.
keep face
Numerous beauty products with the words “detox” and “antipollution” in the name effectively cope with the external manifestations of the problem – an earthy complexion, micro-inflammations, sagging skin and oily sheen.

To enhance their effect, add facial peels and scrubs, as well as masks with white clay (kaolin) to the ritual. This time-tested ingredient draws out impurities from pores and absorbs excess sebum.

In the bath you need to be from 20 to 40 minutes, while it is important to have a glass of cool clean water on hand (you will want to drink) and monitor the reaction of the body. After a few minutes, you will start to sweat. If it gets too hot, add cool water. Get out of the bath carefully. Wrap yourself up in a warm bathrobe and have a drink.
