The Box Show Africa Brings You 4 Amazing Remedies On How You Can Detoxify Your Skin At Home.
- Dry Brushing Routine: You need a dry brush. Brush your skin while directing the strokes towards your heart.
Keep brushing for 2-3 minutes. You can dry brush a specific area or your entire body. Start from your feet, and go all the way up to your shoulders.
Benefits Of Dry Brushing: Dry brushing is an age-old method, and it involves brushing your skin when it is dry, just before you shower. It removes the dead skin cells and is also believed to help you get rid of toxins from your body and reduce cellulite. It stimulates the lymphatic systems as well as blood circulation to the skin. As a result, more fresh blood rushes to your skin, and toxins are easily eliminated from your body.
Precautions: Use a brush with natural bristles. Avoid dry brushing on your face, your private parts, and any sites on your body that have abrasions or rashes. Specific brushes are available in the market that are suitable for facial use. Use only these on your face.

Set a reminder or a schedule so that you drink a glass of water every hour. This will help you a lot. Remember, not soda or any other cold processed drinks, just plain and fresh ‘water’ is going to help detox your skin naturally. If you fail to drink the adequate amount of water, no other practice will work. An intake of 10-12 glasses of water a day helps detoxify your blood and clears your skin as well.
