TOXIC TUESDAY - LIVER

After the holiday season we all think detox! This is the time when we seem to prioritize our health, everything from going back to the gym to eating healthier. "Detox" is a major buzzword these days yet most people think of detoxing as a juice cleanse or taking supplements, which usually end up half done or making you feel sick.

Detox by definition means to abstain from or rid the body of toxic or unhealthy substances. This doesn't always mean just detoxing food and alcohol. We are constantly exposed to environmental toxins which are absorbed into our organs and cells and they can overwhelm the ENTIRE body.

Whether from food, booze, cosmetics, creams, shampoos, make-up, cleaning productions, candles, medication, it's ALL absorbed through the skin or the stomach and filtered through our LIVER. Think of the LIVER as your furnace filter, if it's clogged or dirty it won't work and instead will just recirculate the dirt through your house again.

Why is the Liver important when talking Beauty and Skin Care? Hypersentitivies, rashes, acne, hives, dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema can all be symptoms of a congested LIVER and therefore, it's extremely important to consider what kind of products you are using on your skin.

At The Facial Place we carry Eminence Organics Skin Care.
