Skin Detox: Here’s Everything You Need To Know

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, but an unhealthy lifestyle, makeup, exposure to the sun, dirt, dust, chemicals, pollution, and other external aggressors can make your skin look dull, tired, and lifeless. An easy yet effective way to overcome such a situation is to consider a skin detox. Often overlooked, detoxifying the skin is one of the most crucial steps to achieving healthy and youthful skin all the time. So, what are you waiting for? Make skin detox a part of your regular skincare routine to enjoy trouble-free skin and glow naturally. Not sure how to do so? Here’s everything you need to know about skin detox for clear skin.

What does “skin detox” mean?

Lifestyle, diet, and regular activities are some of the main causes of harmful elements building up in your body and skin. In simple words, detox means removing these toxins from your body. Skin detox is what you can do to the surface of your skin and protect it from aggressors more than clearing out the inside. This is necessary to maintain the pH balance, hygiene, and overall health of your skin. Similarly, when you do not detox your skin, you will notice the appearance of redness, acne spots, blemishes, inflammation, and other skin concerns. A skincare routine that includes a skin detox session can limit, reverse these changes, and also brighten your skin, and reduce signs of ageing caused by toxins.

How to detox your skin?

• Cleanse well

No matter your skin type, cleansing it regularly is a must as this helps to get rid of dirt, dust, and impurities from the skin by removing excess oils, makeup, dead skin and built-up. You can use the gentle yet effective micellar water to lift dirt and dust from your skin like a magnet. To further refresh, revitalize and revive your skin, you can try a soothing facewash that will not only clean your face but also maintain its natural moisture barrier and prevent dryness. We recommend you do this two times a day to achieve maximum skin benefits.

• Exfoliate effectively

Exfoliating the skin dives deep into the pores and eliminates excess sebum, oil, and impurities from the skin. It also allows oxygen to travel through the pores and helps to get rid of bacteria, and dead cells from the skin’s surface. So, use a gentle exfoliator to detox your skin and bring back the lost glow. Be mindful, don’t over-exfoliate as that can cause inflammation and irritation. Also, if you are the one with sensitive or irritated skin, avoid harsh exfoliation as that will further irritate your aggravated skin.

• Moisturise twice

Moisturisation is the key to achieving soft, supple, and healthy skin. Make sure that you give your skin enough hydration by using a serum and moisturiser, both. Use a moisturiser two times a day. Pick a moisturiser with a lightweight formula so that your skin doesn’t feel sticky throughout the day. Pair it with a body lotion to give your skin and body an instant boost of hydration and nourishment.

• Alter your lifestyle

The best way to take care of your skin is by making some changes in your daily lifestyle. Some of the things that you can do are –

  1. Maintain a balanced diet
  2. Drink eight glasses of water daily
  3. Reduce smoking and alcohol intake
  4. Get enough rest
  5. Exercise regularly
