Neglect and overindulgence in the colder, winter months can often result in skin that needs a little bit of care and attention when the summer season comes around. A detox can provide the perfect solution and before you run for the hills, don’t worry, we’re not talking about living on cabbage leaves! So, if dark circles under the eyes, blotchy red patches, occasional outbreaks and dry patches all sound familiar, this blog is perfect for you!

Limit sugar intake

I love sugar, who doesn’t!? But you should try your best to avoid it if doing a detox as it can wreak havoc with your body, leaving you looking and feeling drained. Author of The Beauty Detox Foods, Kimberly Snyder comments that; “sugar binds with proteins and fats causing wrinkles, and it taxes the adrenal glands causing dark circles and leaving you feeling exhausted and moody.” But do not fear ladies, giving up sugar doesn’t have to be too tiresome as you can easily replace it with stevia, and after a few days, you should start to see and feel the positive impact cutting it out makes.

Try a dairy substitute

Dairy is incredibly mucus forming and causes a range of problems, including skin and digestive issues so is one of the foods that should be removed from your diet when attempting a detox. I actually suffer from a dairy allergy so fully appreciate the havoc it can cause with the body – a congested nose, bad digestion and regular skin breakouts are just a few of the symptoms associated with it. Don’t worry if you like milk in your coffee or on your cereal because it can be replaced with unsweetened, almond or soya milk, both of which are very tasty!

Pineapple perfection

I know what you’re thinking – how can something that tastes so divine be so good for you. Yes, it’s true – pineapple is great for skin health and total body rejuvenation! Pineapple contains bromelain, which acts as an anti-inflammatory, breaks down proteins, and removes toxins from the bloodstream. Not only does this help your skin look clearer but it will also help to decrease any inflammatory pain you may be suffering from. I love knowing that eating pineapple is making my body, skin, and taste buds happy all at once. Win- win!

For the love of lemons

Adding lemons to your water is an excellent way to get the health and skin promoting properties of lemons into your diet. Lemons flush toxins out of the body by acting as a diuretic. This greatly helps your liver detox all your organs, including your skin. Lemon juice also gives you a quick shot of vitamin C, which helps increase collagen production, resulting in fewer wrinkles and fewer blotches! I know I would like to see the little lines around my eyes disappear!

Hayami Cosmetics

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
