Feeling a bit sluggish, skin and hair dull or dried out? Detox outside and in with our Green Beauty Detox this January: 

Deep cleanse inside

For a thorough internal spring clean, get juicing. Raw juice is alkaline which takes the pressure of your digestive system and is packed with anti oxidants, minerals and other vital nutrients. Here is my favourite Green Detox Juice Recipe:

Thoroughly wash and combine organically grown celery, kale, parsley, cucumber, lemon and spinach from your local farmers market and run them through your juicer. Not only is this juice refreshing and delicious, it is REALLY good for you. 

Gentle stretching and deep breathing can help toxins to move through your system. Try a dynamic yoga class like ashtanga or bikram, or something more gentle like hatha or iyengar.

Before showering in the morning, use a body brush on dry skin to stimulate lymph system which improves the elimination of toxins and smooths the skin. Use broad strokes and work towards the heart. 

Deep cleanse outside

Simplify your beauty routine and try to use as few products as possible. The average adult uses 10 products a day and is exposed to 126 chemicals, some of which have been found to accumulate inside the human body.

Learn about a few key nasties and try to avoid products containing them. Key nasties to watch out for are parabens, SLS/SLES, DEA/MEA/TEA, silicones, mineral oil, phthalates and synthetic fragrances. Read more about nasties here. All of our products are formulated without nasties.

Switch to certified organic products, as these have been independently verified not to contain any questionable chemicals and instead contain high levels of pure, natural plant extracts. This is particularly important for products you use frequently such as shampoo, all over the body such as body lotion, or are likely to ingest, such as lipstick.

Remove stubborn pollution and impurities on skin and hair with the evolve Daily Detox Facial Wash and evolve Detox & Protect Shampoo. They are formulated with moringa peptides which deep clean the skin and hair from the outside.
