Billions of toxins are produced in the skin every day. This is normal and physiological. But only until the body successfully removes these toxins. As soon as it stops coping, it immediately affects the condition of the skin: it becomes dull, becomes looser, and shadows appear on the face. Sensitivity may worsen and rashes may appear. When a person smokes, sleeps little, drinks alcohol, drinks not enough water, gets sick, takes medications, lives in an aggressive environment (read, a metropolis), lives under stress, eats poorly, and so on, toxins are formed more actively. And here we get a vicious circle: the more toxins, the more difficult it is for the skin to cope with them. The situation can be resolved. You need to establish a regime to the best of your ability and ability, load up on green vegetables (spinach, broccoli, herbs, avocado), and monitor your water intake. And, of course, use special care.

Beauty brands started talking about detox ten years ago. Back then, the search query “skin detox” seemed like something exotic. Today everything has changed. Serums and masks, products for the area around the eyes and for the body are produced with the prefix “detox”. There are detox dietary supplements, detox bath salts and detox cleansers. You should use them when your skin seems dull and tired. The regime will also have to be adjusted.

Toxins are formed more actively from a lack of oxygen. This is a typical story for those who don’t spend time outdoors, don’t play sports, and don’t move much. Then the removal and disposal of waste in the skin becomes more difficult, toxins become more aggressive - and prevent cells from doing their normal work more and more persistently. In such situations, products with encapsulated oxygen or oxygen peroxide work well. They release oxygen molecules and help the skin “breathe”.

Deep cleansers help get rid of toxins. Most often they contain clay, which can “pull out” the contents of the pores. This visually smoothes the skin texture, gets rid of city dust and makeup residues, and gives the face freshness.

Detox masks: folk recipes

Detox for normal to combination skin

A simple recipe for an antioxidant mask that will help refresh your facial skin and maintain its youth. To prepare the mask, you will need a weak brew of high-quality green tea, lemon essential oil and a gauze napkin.

Add 2-3 drops of lemon essential oil to the tea leaves, and thoroughly soak the napkin, applying it to the skin for 10-15 minutes. It should be noted that the area around the eyes should be left open. If you are not allergic to the components of the mask, you don’t have to wash it off at the end.

Recipe for dry, sensitive skin

For sensitive facial skin, the Beauty Pantry suggests preparing a curd detox mask at home. To do this, mix 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese with 1 teaspoon of liquid honey. The mask is applied in an even layer to the skin for 10 minutes, rinsed off with lukewarm water. This mask can only be used if you are not allergic to honey.

Mask for problem skin

An excellent detox mask for acne-prone skin is prepared using blue or green cosmetic clay. To prepare the mask, 1 tablespoon of clay powder is diluted with a small amount of cool water.

Add a few drops of tea tree or rosemary essential oil to the mixture, which is thick like sour cream. For sensitive skin, essential oils can be replaced with ½ teaspoon of fresh aloe juice. The mask is applied in a thick layer to the skin and left until the clay dries completely. Wash off with a damp disc and finally apply a light cream to the skin.

Recipe for oily, combination skin

An egg white mask is perfect for oily skin with enlarged pores. Well, the active component of this detox mask will be the pulp of fresh ripe apples, preferably sour varieties, and orange juice. Peel 1-2 medium apples, grate them on a fine grater and mix with pre-whipped egg white, add 1 teaspoon of fresh juice. The mask is applied to the face for 8-12 minutes, rinsed off with cool water.

Nourishing mask for any skin type

Another simple recipe for a detox mask based on egg yolk. To prepare this recipe, the egg yolk can be mixed with 1 teaspoon of berry pulp - cranberry, rowan, raspberry or sea buckthorn. Cranberries and rowan are ideal for combination skin, raspberries for normal skin, and sea buckthorn for dry skin.

Features of using detox masks

When applying masks to the skin of the face, it is necessary to take into account a possible allergic reaction to one of the components. Therefore, if after applying the mask you feel severe itching or burning or redness of the skin, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the mixture and switch to other components. In addition, do not get carried away with applying detox masks. One procedure every 7-10 days will be enough. To get the desired effect, cosmetologists recommend performing the procedure at night - before bed. This will allow the skin to recover and rest.

Detoxification of facial skin is necessary at every age, regardless of skin condition and type. To ensure that in old age the skin has fewer wrinkles, is smooth and elastic, the application of detox masks should be practiced from a young age.

Ready-made cosmetics

The easiest way is to use ready-made cosmetic products. The best results are obtained when using masks based on natural ingredients, since they are gentle on the skin and do not cause side effects. At the same time, it is recommended to choose in favor of proven and well-proven manufacturers.

Masks that can be used to detox your facial skin are created taking into account your skin type and certain dermatological problems (for example, acne). This allows us to achieve optimal results for each patient. Of the most preferred masks, it is worth noting the following:

Caudalie.
Freeman.
Apot.Care.
DeSheli.
Rhassoul.
Propeller.

The presented cosmetics contain various ingredients. The Caudalie mask is based on pink clay and can be used for various skin types. Normal and dry skin can be cleansed with Freeman detox product with strawberry and chocolate extracts. This mask contains white clay as a base, as does the Apot.Care mask, which is very effective for sensitive skin. But the latter also contains fruit components and charcoal.

DeSheli facial skin detox mask is also created on the basis of kaolin (white clay) in combination with vegetable oils (mint, argan, evening primrose) and other ingredients. It is suitable for all skin types. The Rhassoul mask contains volcanic clay in combination with essential oils (chamomile and bergamot). And the detoxifying product from Propeller is used on problem skin, since it contains cincidone.

There are various cosmetics that help improve the condition of the skin by detoxifying it. A specialist will advise which one to choose in a particular case.

Homemade products

You can easily make a mask for cleansing your facial skin yourself. And it will be an excellent alternative to factory-made products, since it will consist only of natural substances (without fragrances or preservatives) and will have optimal availability.

Masks are prepared from products that can penetrate deep into the skin and cleanse pores. But it should also be taken into account that some may cause allergic reactions, so the selection of components is made on an individual basis. For detox masks, plant components rich in antioxidants and vitamins, mineral adsorbents, etc. are most often used. Homemade products may include:

Fruits and berries (raspberries, strawberries, black currants, oranges, apples, lemon, grapes).
Dairy products (cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt).
Green tea.
Activated carbon.
Blue clay.
Essential oils.
Honey, etc.

The simplest mask is made from crushed activated carbon, poured with green tea to a pasty consistency. It will help to effectively cleanse pores of blackheads and tone the skin. A fermented milk mask is prepared from fatty cottage cheese, kefir and honey. These ingredients add shine to the face and eliminate the feeling of tightness.

The curd and berry detoxifying mask is also very easy to prepare. Fat cottage cheese is mixed with grated berries and poured with carrot juice. The product is great for combination skin. If it is fatty, then instead of berry puree it is better to make applesauce. Another mask is prepared from blue clay diluted with green tea and aloe juice. Products with the addition of citrus fruits whiten the skin well, get rid of rosacea and reduce inflammatory changes.

It is not at all difficult to prepare face masks at home. In terms of effectiveness, they are sometimes not inferior to ready-made cosmetics, but are much more affordable.
