Start the Year with a Weekend Skin Detox!

Weekend Skin Detox

Happy new year! I hope you and your loved ones had a great start to the new year. Have you made any resolutions or set goals for 2015? Taking better care of myself is my top goal for the new year. I think a weekend skin detox is a great way to kick it off!

Weekend Skin Detox

Step #1 Sweat – This is a very effective way to eliminate toxins and poisons through the skin. Walk, run, do Pilates or hot yoga – work up a sweat on both Saturday and Sunday to purge those toxins.

Step #2 Exfoliation and Dry Skin Brushing – This removes the dead skin cells allowing the pores to breathe and detoxify more effectively. Do this step on Saturday to help stimulate the lymph system to clean itself and purge the toxins and poisons. This Loofah Package is a great way to help jumpstart the process.

Step #3 Detox Bath – Detoxing through bathing is considered an ancient remedy and it can be done in the comfort of your home on Sunday. A detox bath helps the body eliminate toxins as well as absorbing the minerals and nutrients in the water. Common ingredients used in a detox bath are Epsom salt, baking soda, and essential oils.

Step #4 Organic Skin Care and Organic Cosmetics – Decreasing the number of synthetic substances entering the body is another way to help detoxify the skin. Let’s face it, our skin is constantly exposed to environmental pollutants and toxins. Why add more with the use of cosmetics containing harmful ingredients such as parabens, petrochemicals, and synthetic fragrances? Instead, use certified organic skin care and cosmetics as an ongoing detoxifying treatment for your skin.

  • No problem working up a sweat here! They’re sending up so much heat I could grow palm trees! (And no way to turn off the heat!) All the tips are great – especially about using ORGANIC products – hard to detox when you’re rubbing chemicals into your skin!

  • I definately need to take better care of myself in every way! This detox looks like something I will start with!

  • I need to do a New Year skin detox! I like the Exfoliation and Dry Skin Brushing! This is very effective in making sure to get my skin to feel smooth and soft!

  • I have always been curious about hot yoga we dont have that here in town and it looks interesting. I wouldnt ind it now it is =20 outside at all! Sweating is actually very good for you as it pushes poisions out and cleans your pores.

  • I have heard that Dry Brushing your skin is great for it. I have never tried it though. I think the Loofah Package would be wonderful to have! I know that I could really use it. My skin gets so dry in the winter. Thanks for sharing these tips!
