Top 10 Ways for Skin Detox This Summer


Its summer time and this is the season of all kind of diseases and dehydration. Though our body detoxify itself as our stomach, kidney and liver are well programmed by nature to clean the body throughout the day, but sometimes our body needs a boost to its detoxifying process. If you want to detoxify the skin the best way is to reduce the intake of substances which causes the accumulation of toxic waste in our body. Reduce the toxic load from the body by eliminating the intake of substances that increases the amount of toxins in our system. We have mentioned some very simple ways in which you can reduce the toxic intake and at the same time remove the already present toxic substances in our body. These ways will not only help you to remove toxics from your body, but you will feel more energetic and lively.

 

10. Say no to sugar or sweetened products

If you want to detoxify your body then tell your sweet buds to be at rest. Cut out the intake of all kinds of sugary food may it be sugary drinks or any kind of snacks. Instead prefer fibre rich fruits if you have a craving to eat anything sweet. Sweetened fruits reduce the metabolism of our body and lower downs the cleansing action in the body.

 

9. Practice contrast hydrotherapy

19

Contrast hydrotherapy is basically a way to expose the body to alternate temperatures,  first hot and then cold. Take hot shower for at least five minutes and then allow cold water to flow on your back for 30 seconds. Follow it up three times. Due to the hot water, the dilation of blood vessels takes place which results in sweating. When the body is exposed to cold water, the contraction of blood vessels takes place and the blood containing oxygen reaches to every part of the body. This practice helps to increase the migration of white blood cells.

8. Avoid Alcohol

18

Though small intakes of alcohol have some benefits, but it does not help to detoxify the body. It should not be considered as a health food as it rather acts as a diuretic, which means it dehydrates the body. It not only increases the calories, but also lowers own the mental focus. It is best to skip the intake of alcohol, but you can still choose to take a little amount of alcohol once in a week.

7. Drink to cleanse

17

It is good to follow the detoxification regime daily, but if you have a busy life then weekends can be chosen to detoxify the body. Taking a diet of only fluids once in a week can help the toxic fluids to flush out of our systems. Avoid processed fruit or vegetable juices, prefer freshly made juice. The best natural juice to detoxify your body is a mixture of cucumber, beetroot, spinach and bottle guard grinded together to make a mixed juice. If it is possible, take wheatgrass juice every morning as it helps to cleanse the body in a faster way. Drink two glass of mixed fruit juice for two weeks and I assure you that you will notice a change in yourself.

6. Don’t take much stress

16

Removing only the body toxic is not the way to detoxify the body, but removing the toxins from the mind is also a way to detoxify. Eliminating stress is not the correct thing but, changing the way we respond towards it can help us to detoxify our mind. Before responding to anything, make sure that you stop and think. Stress not only has mental effects but it also have physical effects as it alters the metabolism of our body. Manage your stress by reading some books or talking to a person.

 

5. Reduce the intake of caffeine products

15

Limiting the usage of caffeine to 300 milligrams in a day can help to boost up the metabolism and increases energy in the body. But this is no good news for you if you are a caffeine fan. If you take more than a cup of coffee then you should limit the quantity of caffeine. If you want to add up more years to your life it is recommended not to take caffeine in large amounts as researches have shown that caffeine can cause early death. Instead of starting your day with a cup of coffee, lemon with water can be a better option as it stimulates digestion and balances the pH of our body.

 4. Scrub Off dead Cells

14

Use natural body scrub once in a week to scrub off the accumulated dead cell from your body. Mix honey, curd, oatmeal, sugar and use it as a mask on your body. Let the mask rest on your body for 30 minutes and then scrub it off using a hand scrubber. Pre-packaged scrubs are also available in the market which can be used to remove the dead cells. After the scrub session, take a steam shower and apply nourishing moisturizer all over your body. It is recommended not to step out in sun immediately after taking a scrub. Scrubbing before going to sleep is the best time to follow it.

3. Eat right

13

This is one of the most important things a person must do if he wants to be healthy. If you are planning to detoxify your skin and can’t stop the craving for the packaged food, then leave the idea of detoxification. If you really are determined to detoxify your body, dump the processed food from your kitchen. Go to the grocery store and stock some fresh fruits and healthy vegetables in your fridge. Once in a week go on a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables of variety of different colors. Eat fruits like orange, papaya, apple, guava, watermelons etc. Try veggies like red and yellow pepper, broccoli, zucchini, carrots etc. Include all the different and minerals and vitamins and variety of nutrients to stay healthy and fit.

2. Be friends with water

12

I don’t think that many people in the world know about the benefits of drinking water. If you want to cleanse your system then make water your friend. Wherever you go, your water bottle must be with you. Water helps in hydrating the skin and helps to cleanse the body by removing the toxins from our body. All the metabolic processes occurring inside our body need water, and drinking water helps to maintain the right balance of different salts in our body. Not only the natural thirst be addressed all the time, but even if you are not feeling thirsty, take sips of water in little time intervals. You will know that you are drinking water in a lesser amount if the color of your urine discharge is darker than pale yellow.

1. Sweat it out

11

The natural way our body gets rid off the toxins is through sweating. Exercising 20- 30 minutes in a day can help the oxygen carrying capacity of blood to boost up. Do power yoga, brisk walk, sweat in the gym- just make sure you remove the toxins from the body through sweating. You must know that skin is the largest organ in our body. When we sweat the body eliminates the extra amount of salts and other toxic product through our skin. Breaking a sweat can be a good option to cleanse the body in a healthy manner.
