You’ve mastered the art of the green juice and breaking a sweat at the gym is a habit you never break; but have you considered that, just like the other organs in your body, your skin might deserve a regular detox too?
Just like a toxic body loses the ability to digest food and fully extract nutrients, toxic skin is unable to get the most out of your daily skincare routine. That’s why we were thrilled when famed botanical brand Sisley Paris developed a one-of-a-kind detox product that is suitable for all skin types, and is the ultimate precursor to your best skin ever.
‘When the skin is stressed it becomes asphyxiated and sometimes loses the ability to rid itself of the toxins that dull its radiance,’ says Lori De Laurentiis, skin expert at Sisley Paris. ‘Detoxifying the skin on a regular basis is important in order to restore radiance and vitality so the skin can draw maximum benefits from its daily skincare programme.’
The benefits of skin detoxification extend beyond short-term revitalisation; a detox allows our skin to function at its optimum level in the long term. By eliminating toxins from both the skin’s surface and deep down, our skin’s natural defences are boosted for lasting radiance and a healthy looking glow.
So, if skin detoxification is so important, when and how often should we do it? The answer is simple, every night.
‘The process of exfoliation is a function of the skin at night whereby the skin takes a much needed ‘relaxing break’ to purifying itself, recharge the batteries and find renewed energy so it can cope with the onslaught of our daily hectic lives,’ says De Laurentiis.
Three top tips for skin detoxification:
1. Always ensure you cleanse/tone religiously day and night using a cleansing programme appropriate to your skin concerns.
A perfectly cleansed complexion that is free from makeup and build-up of pollution and dirt/grime will ensure your skin remains clean and free of blemishes. Do not forget the vital element of water – crucial in flushing out toxins and hydrating our bodies and skin.
2. Sisley Gentle Buffing Cream used at least one to two times per week will boost the natural detoxification of skin cells and remove dead skin cells on the surface of the skin.
Gentle Buffing Cream contains Kaolin (a clay) to absorb surface impurities and German Chamomile (Matricaria) to provide radiance and a smoother brighter complexion.
3. Use the Sisley Botanical D-TOX as an intensive cure programme every night for one month to re-energise skin cells, and recharge the batteries of the skin. This unique serum eliminates toxins from the surface and from deep down below the surface. Plus, it boosts the skin’s natural defences, providing revitalisation and a fresh glow to the skin.
