Beauty and health are inter-related and if you maintain a healthy environment in your body, you are most certainly to feel and look good.

The skin’s pores can easily become filled with dirt and clogged. Acne and flushed skin may occur as a result of problems with the circulation and diets.

Using these tips for body detoxification and skin cleanse can make your skin brighter and solve your acne and other skin problems.

Here are 5 ways to detoxify your skin:

1. The food you choose to eat every day affects your skin. Reducing the amount of refined sugar to a minimum is a good start to improving your skin. When you consume sugar, a process occurs which harms the collagen in the skin when sugar links with protein or lipid.

You need to eat meat without any hormones (which can cause acne) . . .  or at least use very little non-organic meat. Eating more fruits and vegetables is a good way to have glowing skin.

A diet including both acidic and alkaline foods, balanced well, will help your skin be healthy and look good.

2. Another way to keep fit and help detoxify your skin is doing exercise while making sure you are drinking a lot of purified water.

By exercising, you will get rid of all the dirt and metals in your skin, which can be clogging your pores and causing break-outs.  A regular thirty minutes regime a day is enough. The deep breathing, physical exercises, and other activities will also cleanse your body’s organs too.

You can detoxify your skin and body simply by increasing your water intake throughout the day. This flushes accumulated toxins from your kidneys! When you don’t drink enough water, your kidneys don’t have enough fluid to function properly. Instead of flushing metabolic waste out through your urine, your body holds on to toxins. and your skin suffers.

3. The next step to beautiful skin is dry skin brushing. 

Have a daily routine for brushing your skin with a stiffened, natural brush [affiliate link]. Use it on your dry body in circular motions and in the direction of your heart. This stimulates your lymphatic system and decreases turgidity.

Start from your the bottom of your feet, ankles, and move up to your legs, brushing upwards.

Use the opposite of the clockwise direction for circular brushing of your abdomen. Brush a few times on your hips, abdomen, and reach every skin surface including your back. Then brush your hands continuing with the arms and shoulders.

Use very slight circular motions to brush your chest being very careful where the skin is too delicate and can easily be scratched. You can finish the process with taking a shower alternating hot and cold water to remove all dead skin cells and clean your skin well. After drying off,  apply some natural lotion to the skin.

4. You can also help your skin by taking a detox cleansing bath.

There are a few kinds of them, each using simple ingredients like salt, hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar, and/or soda. These detoxing baths can be very relaxing as well as helping you to detoxify your skin.

5. Finally, the fifth way to detoxify your skin is by ex-foliating your body using home-made recipes or clay detoxifying mask.

There are plenty of ways to cleanse the pores of your skin from dirt and toxins. The list above are only five of the most effective and common methods that I personally use.

Keeping your skin well-cleaned and detoxed is important. Follow these tips using a healthy diet and effective procedures to give yourself healthy, glowing skin.
