Detox Your Way to Good Health and Radiant Skin

15 April 2008

‘As toxins build up in our body, blood circulation is weakened. Gradually, the skin loses its translucency and the ability to reflect natural pink hue; this results in a dull and darker pallor’, says Jennifer Lee, Nutritionist for AsterSpring Origin of Beauty.

Most people today take far better care of their cars than their own body. Imagine what would happen if we indiscriminately pour petrol, diesel, kerosene and water into our gas tank. This is precisely the way our body is accumulated with toxins today. Our body is exposed to an overwhelming volume of toxins daily. Studies have shown that toxins originate from everyday subtle sources such as chlorinated water, food additives, cigarette smoke, polluted air, pesticides, heavy metals and even medicine.

How do accumulated toxins affect skin health?

Skin is one of the first parts of the body to show problems from toxic overload. Toxins accumulate and fester inside our body, causing internal toxicity of blood. As a result, an enormous amount of toxins attempt to pass out of the body through skin pores. Toxic residues become concentrated and can damage the skin as they pass through for excretion. Gradually, our skin develops rough texture and signs of premature-ageing. The skin loses its translucency and the ability to reflect natural pink hue; this results in a dull and darker pallor.

Why is an effective detoxification important?

A normal, healthy body will naturally detoxify. However, as toxins build up, toxic overload occurs in our body, leading to an impairment of the body’s own natural detox and eliminative functions. This has been linked to a head-to-toe map of symptoms, including migraine, skin irritations, weight gain, fluid retention and constipation.

An effective and regular detoxification regime is therefore essential to eliminate the root cause by ridding the body of the toxins that pollute the blood and tissues, weaken immunity and darken skin tone.

In other words, detoxification is a process of cleansing the internal environment of the human body, repairing the toxic damage done to vital organs and restoring balance to all the basic vital functions.

Are supplements needed for an effective detoxification regime?

It is important to include food supplements like Inner D-Tox that work synergistically to actively cleanse the blood, colon, kidneys, liver and lymphatic system. An ideal supplement should consist of a good mix of fibre (both soluble & insoluble), probiotics, prebiotics, and liver cleansing herbs such as milk thistle, dandelion and green tea that will encourage the body to release accumulated waste materials whilst providing optimal nourishment to the body.

INNER D-TOX is available in 15g x 20 sachets per box and currently retailed at all AsterSpring Origin of Beauty, Leonard Drake Skin Care Health Spa, Bioxil Skin Lab and other authorized Bioxil Innertreats centers.

Do I need to fast during detoxification?

No. Instead, we eat like a royalty. Treat the body to good nutrients from raw fruits, vegetables, whole grains and seaweeds. Try to indulge in herbal tea and drink lots of water to help flush out toxins.

Are pampering facials and massages necessary for an optimal detoxification?

Absolutely! Stress is a major contributor to a toxic and acidic body. While cleansing your inside with detoxifying food and juices, it’s the ideal time to cleanse and pamper your outside, too. Body massages and facials are pleasurable ways to knead toxins from the tissues, promote lymph drainage, tone the skin, especially at areas prone to cellulite. And not only that, they make you feel great too! Book a treatment as you decide to start your own detox regime.

What effects should I expect from an effective detoxification regime?

Built-up toxins are gradually neutralized and released throughout the regime. After a course of detox, users found that they enjoy greater alertness and energy level, regular bowel movement, better immunity, sound sleep, improved skin tone and radiance and some even lose kilos as part of the results.
