NEW YEAR TIPS ON HOW TO DETOXIFY YOUR SKIN
This Christmas and New Year period, people will over drink and over eat.
Here are 5 unique tips from leading skincare expert, Judy Cheung-Wood from SkinB5, on the best way to detox and look after your skin during this period.
1. French Clay mask- Detoxify your skin with this. French Green Clay has been traditionally used to help draw toxins from the skin and tighten the pores. The clay is very high in trace minerals and Egyptians considered it to be sacred, due to its many amazing, antibacterial, regenerating and energetic properties. It's like a superfood for the skin.
2. Warm lemon drink- Have this every morning for two weeks to cleanse your digestive system, help clear up skin and lose weight! Simply squeeze half a lemon into a glass of luke warm water.
3. 16 hour fasting- Fast for 16 hours a day, for five days. Fasting gives your digestive system a good break and allows your body to redirect energy to focus on healing, rebalancing and regenerating your body.
4. Foods to avoid:
All dairy products
Grains, particularly wheat
Sugar, including artificial sweeteners
Dried fruit
Packaged food!
Alcohol
Coffee
5. Research shows that supplementing with certain vitamins & minerals such as vitamin B5, vitamin A and zinc can reduce unwanted skin breakouts.
