The Best Ingredients for Detoxifying Your Skin

Oily skin, acne, blackheads, fine lines and wrinkles are all normal skin conditions, right?

What if we told you they’re actually not?

Persistent oil, chronically dry skin or frustrating breakouts may not be the natural state of your skin; instead, it may just be your body’s reaction to an overload of toxins polluting its many systems, including the immune and endocrine systems.

Detoxifying Your Skin

Your body naturally filters and rids itself of impurities, but without proper care this process can start to slow down and the body may no longer be able to efficiently filter the impurities out. If your complexion is starting to appear dull or tired, then it’s probably time for a detox session. Detoxifying your skin can break down any buildup of dirt or residue to help you clear up acne and blackheads or dry up that oily skin for a healthier glow.

Not only will the detox cleanse the surface of your skin, it will also boost circulation and cell regeneration; though not just any ingredients will get the results you are looking for. For skin that’s blemish-free, soft and naturally healthy, these are the best ingredients for detoxifying your skin:

Sea Salt

Your skin serves as a protective barrier to the elements of your environment, but it can become overworked just like every other part of your body. Dry skin is a sign your body needs some TLC to get its protective outer casing back on the right track, and keep those fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Use sea salt in your regular self-care regimen to take advantage of its moisturizing effects. It’s one of the easiest detox ingredients to keep around the house for daily use, especially with our line of sea minerals and blue iris soaps, available in both liquid hand and body washes and bar soap your skin will thank you for.

Charcoal

You may have seen charcoal face masks gaining popularity on various social media accounts and questioned its legitimacy, but this time your social feeds weren’t lying. Charcoal is super absorbent, which makes it an excellent detox ingredient if you need to pull dirt and other buildup out of your pores. When you look for charcoal, skip over the soaps and look to the masks in order to get the best detox results.  

Bataua Fruit Oil

Bataua fruit oil is going to be your skin’s new best friend if it’s lacking moisture for moisture. This exotic fruit looks a lot like olive oil, but it brings silky soft to a whole new level. Thanks to its high level of oleic acid, saturated fats and vitamins A and E, this little fruit is going to help you fight against dry, cracked skin all year round with moisture that not only restores, but protects as well. Which is exactly why you’re going to love our citrus and peach rose hand soap and body wash.

Clay

If your skin is clogged, but it’s also dry or sensitive, then you may want to consider clay as an alternative to charcoal. Clay works pretty much the same way as the charcoal does by pulling the buildup out of your pores as it sits on your skin, but it’s typically mixed with soothing botanicals to give your skin a drink of hydration rather than risk drying it out. Look for a detoxifying mask to target your face, or give your entire body some much-deserved care with a full body clay mask when time allows.

Coconut Oil

Of course, no detox ingredients list would ever be complete without coconut oil. Coconut oil has a place in virtually any self-care regimen, for valid reason. This miracle worker can pretty much do it all. It cleans. It hydrates. And it even smells fantastic while doing it. Coconut oil is an all-natural detox ingredient that doesn’t even need to be combined with anything for it to work, so you can pick up raw coconut oil to soothe any irritated skin, replenish moisture to heal dry or cracked skin and reduce the appearance of any wrinkles or blemishes.

Keep Your Skin Youthful and Healthy

By including these ingredients for detoxifying your skin into your regular self-care routine, you’re going to notice incredible results. As you rid your skin of the harmful buildup of dirt and other impurities that clog up your pores, your body will gradually regain its natural ability to filter. As it filters, it gets rid of toxins that can create unwanted wrinkles, dry skin or even acne. So, if you’re looking for an easy way to keep your skin youthful and healthy, these ingredients are the way to go.
