Detox beauty routine: 3 essential tips for a fresh complexion
Dull complexion, blemishes, lackluster hair: toxins can quickly accumulate in the body. As summer approaches, discover three essential tips for a fresh complexion and healthy hair.
STEP 1: GET A FRESH EXTERIOR FACELIFT
The first step is to rid the skin of impurities and toxins. This involves, of course, cleansing and exfoliation, but also choosing healthier cosmetics for the skin.
Rid your face of impurities
Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleansing gel. Free from skin-damaging substances like sulfates, it's better absorbed by the skin and cleanses without being harsh. The Gentle & Antioxidant Cleansing Gel is the perfect combo: it provides antioxidant and protective action thanks to Organic White Tea extracts. Applied morning and evening, it unclogs pores and preserves skin's balance. It's soft, clear, and radiant.
Exfoliate your face and body
Next, we focus on exfoliation! Over time, cells can build up on the skin's surface, making it dull and drier. Exfoliating your face and body effectively removes dead cells, allowing your skin to oxygenate and renew itself.
The Milky White Tea Scrub gently exfoliates the skin perfectly . Enriched with cane sugar and rice powder, these two exfoliants have the advantage of being gentle, respectful of the dermis and extremely effective. The vegetable oils complete the exfoliating action by providing a touch of nutrition to the skin, while softening it. The scrub should be applied twice a week to dry or slightly damp skin. Results? Healthy, smooth and satiny skin.
Healthy beauty treatments for an effective detox
For healthy skin and hair, we're starting on the right foot! This means prioritizing beauty treatments that respect your skin and health. It's the right time to get rid of products with mystical and harmful compositions. To do this, choose certified organic cosmetics. Beyond being clean for your health and skin, natural active ingredients are easily absorbed by the dermis and more effective. Also, opt for products whose active ingredients have recognized antioxidant properties, such as white tea.
STEP 2: DETOXIFY YOUR BODY FROM THE INSIDE
Hydration at the heart of detox
Detoxifying your body from the inside out is an essential step. First, it's crucial to focus on proper hydration. Drinking at least 1.5 liters of water per day helps promote intestinal transit and reduce stomach acidity. For a more detoxifying effect, it's worth taking a closer look at the benefits of White Tea on the digestive system. It's an excellent fat burner: it stimulates and promotes energy production, which helps eliminate toxins from the body. It's also known for its appetite suppressant properties, which allows you to space out meals and say goodbye to snacking. This way, digestive cycles aren't disrupted, and the digestive system can rest. White Tea can be consumed throughout the day due to its low caffeine content.
The role of diet in a detox routine
Diet also plays a vital role in the body's detoxification process. It's all about adopting a balanced diet, prioritizing the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, ideally from organic farming.
Incorporate certain foods known for their purifying and draining properties, such as lemon or pineapple. Lemon, a miracle detox ingredient, offers multiple benefits: it is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antioxidant. Pineapple, on the other hand, is known as a “fat burner.” In fact, it secretes enzymes that destroy cellulite tissue. It is perfectly suited to a detox diet and even aids digestion.
When it comes to cooking, favoring gentle steaming of food allows you to preserve all the nutrients so you can fully benefit from all their benefits.
STEP 3: USE STEAM TO DETOXIFY
Used for many years in Western countries, the facial sauna is an essential step in a detox ritual. In addition to being a true moment of well-being, where you take time for yourself, the facial sauna provides a truly purifying effect. It allows the skin to eliminate toxins and allows pores to dilate.
To make it:
-
Place a small towel soaked in hydrosol in the freezer or fridge a few hours before your facial sauna.
-
Boil water (or hydrosol) in a saucepan.
-
Pour it into a bowl, adding a few drops of essential oil depending on your skin's problem (this is not recommended for pregnant women).
-
Lean your head over the bowl and let the steam dilate your pores for about fifteen minutes.
5. Apply the towel placed in the freezer or refrigerator to your face and place it on your face
6. Finally, apply a moisturizer.
