New Year, New You, Great Skin!

With a new year comes the opportunity to ditch unhealthy habits.
Did you know that the skin is the largest cleansing organ in your body? It takes care of a quarter of the body’s detox requirements each day! Follow these 5 easy detox tips for beautiful, healthy skin!

1. Cut out the junk: The more you eat junk foods, the more your skin will suffer as it tries to get rid of all those excess toxins. At least for one week, stay off “congesting” foods like animal fats, dairy products, white bread, fast foods, and sugar. Eat as pure and healthy as you can, including lots of dark greens & berries.
2. Drink more water: Drinking water is an important step in detoxing your body, inside and out. Try adding lemon, ginger or cucumbers to aid with digestion.
3. Exfoliate: Whenever you need to slough away dead skin cells and encourage new, younger looking cells to emerge, you need to exfoliate. Try stepping it up for a week and exfoliating a few more times than usual. Try our Micro Exfoliant that offers both an enzyme & a granular scrub.
4. Go sweating: Exercise gets your heart beating and your skin sweating, which helps to cleanse toxins from your body.
5. Dry brush: Dry brushing is one of the best ways to detox the skin all over your body. Use those brushes made for the job, and right before your bath or shower, take about five minutes to brush your skin. Using circular motions, start at your feet and work your way up, massaging toward your heart. You’ll increase circulation, remove dead skin cells, and make your skin incredibly soft.
