本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Q: What does skin detox really mean? On a cellular level, what is happening when your skin (and/or internal organs) need a detox? What are the top aesthetic signs of needing a detox?

A: Your skin is your body’s largest organ of elimination and detoxification. The skin is a backup for the other elimination organs. If your colon becomes overloaded and stagnant with toxins, or your liver can’t efficiently filter impurities coming from the digestive tract, your skin tries to compensate by releasing toxins from your body. It sweats them out, or throws them off through skin rashes or even abscesses.

A skin detox is all about keeping the body’s elimination channels clean while addressing hard to handle skin problems like eczema, psoriasis or rosacea- all body signs that toxins have built up to the point where the body can no longer overcome them without assistance.

Signs you may benefit from a skin detox:

• Do you have sallow skin? Poor skin coloring may indicate waste build-up from liver malfunction or drug residues.

• Do you have age spots? Brown mottled spots on the hands, neck or face may reflect waste accumulation in the liver.

• Do you have adult acne, or uneven skin texture? Poor diet, liver exhaustion and stress allow increased free radical formation which attack skin cell membranes.

• Do you have wrinkles, or sagging skin contours? Free radical activity also affects skin collagen and elastin proteins, resulting in wrinkling and dry skin.

• Do you have a skin disorder? Psoriasis, eczema and rosacea all indicate its time for a skin cleanse.

• Do you have unusually oily skin? or scaly, red or itchy skin? A skin cleanse will probably help.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
