Does your body breakout when detoxing?

Time your detox If you do decide to make a positive change to your food and skincare routine, you should expect a degree of 'purging' during which your skin may breakout initially. This is a normal reaction and means the body is responding to change.

Time your detox

Start your detox at least four weeks before a big event. Healthy eating and a good skincare routine should be a normal part of your general lifestyle but we all fall off the horse occasionally and need to get back on the saddle! If you do decide to make a positive change to your food and skincare routine, you should expect a degree of ‘purging’ during which your skin may breakout initially. This is a normal reaction and means the body is responding to change. Stick with the program and you will see the benefits. Every individual is unique so it difficult to say exactly when the skin will visibly improve. It takes approximately 30 days for a full cell turnover, and I usually notice that my skin will show visible improvement following a full cell cycle with a consistent skincare routine.

Purify your skin

Masks are a great home or clinical treatment. There are a number of masks on the market for specific skin concerns. Synergie Skin's Detox anTiox is a purifying detox mask designed to draw impurities from the skin and destroy free radicals. This is a great addition to any routine for acne skin. Skin steaming is also a good way to help purge the skin of toxins and unclog the pores. You don’t need a professional steamer, just put your face over a bowl of steaming (but not boiling) water for 10 minutes. The skin should feel warm but not uncomfortable. Take note that overheating of the skin can cause damaging inflammation.

Avoid certain ingredients

There are a number of ingredients that I believe should not be consumed or used during a skin detox:

Foods:

Highly processed foods

Refined carbohydrates

High levels of glucose and fructose

High levels of animal fats (with the exception of marine-derived oils)

Excessive caffeine

Alcohol

Skin products:
