DETOX FOR BEAUTIFUL SKINWritten by John Russell
DETOX FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN Did you know every day an estimated 450 grams (1 pound) of toxins leave body in sweat, carried out through skin. This is possible, however, only if pores through which sweat travels are open. Every day our skin cells regenerate as old ones die and new ones are created. As we age, process slows down and, as skin cells die, new ones, which replace them, don’t appear as rapidly; specifically, this means dead cells are now pushed off surface so it’s harder for them to shed and they build up. Cosmetically speaking this creates a dull appearance; in terms of detox, blockages are caused that reduce amount of toxin excreted from cells.Detoxing body to afford skin its optimal opportunity for beauty consists of following steps: Food – these top 10 detox foods have been shown to provide best all-around nutrients that work hard to get rid of toxins in your body – apples, avocados, artichokes, beet root, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, kiwi, prunes, seaweed, and watercress. Other honorable mention goes to alfalfa, asparagus, bananas, bran cereals, brazil nuts, carrots, eggs, and tofu. Vitally important is water, which is needed to flush toxins through our system – 8 glasses daily is standard. You can also eat high water foods like watermelon, celery, cucumbers, pears, and grapes. Reduce toxin intake – switch to organic foods wherever possible. Always rinse foods before eating to rid them of pesticide residuals. Eat only lean cuts of meat and cut off any noticeable fat. Avoid sugar at all costs. A recent study at New York State University in Buffalo documented that within two hours of eating 300 calories of sugar (the equivalent of one can of soda and some chocolate), number of free radicals increased by 140%. The USDA says consumption should never exceed more than 40 grams of sugar a day. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. Exercise – two forms of exercise are particularly beneficial in detoxing body. One - aerobic exercise supports detox by encouraging sweating, increasing circulation, breaks down fat, and stimulates lymphatic system. To get maximum benefits, between 30-90 minutes per session, 3-5 sessions per week. Two – Eastern exercise, most common are Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. Specific advantages to Yoga aiding detox process are by stretching muscles, toxins are released, they teach proper breathing, balances inner body energy, and stimulates lymphatic system. A 20 minute Eastern exercise session, 3 times weekly is thought to be beneficial. Stress Reduction – not enough can be said about importance of reducing stress for detoxification. A recent study published in American Journal of Hypertension found that Yoga reduces blood pressure, which has been induced by stress, can be significantly reduced in as little as three minutes. The importance thing is, less stressed you are, it’s less likely you’ll turn to “comforting toxins” like alcohol, nicotine, sugar, and fat. Simple rules for stress reduction are avoid stressful situations, sleep a minimum of 8 hours per night, and use periodic relaxation times during stressful situations. The top 10 stress fighters are as follows: Plan ahead – manage your time and your duties.

EXFOLIATE The use of a masque specifically developed for your skin type from all-natural products including herbs and amino acids will thoroughly clean pores, significantly increase circulation, and provide deep cleansing that is required to penetrate deep enough for maximum cleansing. There are three specific products distributed by IH Distribution LLC for distinct skin types: A. Mild Masque is recommended for normal-to-dry, mature, and sensitive skin.

STEAM THE SKIN Steaming helps release toxins and impurities that may be under skins surface, blocking circulation. Fill a bowl of boiling water, then gently place your face about 4”-5” from surface and hold for 2-3 minutes. This is NOT recommended if you have Asthma as it can irritate respiratory tract. 5. SPLASHING* Using cold water, quickly splash skin 20-30 times with water, pat it dry, and do NOT rub. On a night when you haven’t steamed skin, this can be done with ice water to rapidly increase flow of blood to area. Cold water temperatures should be avoided on steam nights due to drastic temperature change and possibility of stressing or breaking small facial veins. After splashing is a perfect time to use a toner and best available is NutriMinC RE9 Resorting Mist Balancing Toner, available from IH Distribution LLC.
