One of the many aspects of learning how to detox your body naturally involves looking after your skin. Your skin is the biggest organ in your body, and plays a significant role in eliminating toxins and pollutants from your system.

Exfoliate every three days

Exfoliation has all the benefits of the dry skin brushing technique, but can be included as part of the more relaxing, tranquil or even indulgent times when learning how to detox your body. Exfoliation needs water and some form of home-made or cosmetic exfoliant. It is generally gentler on the skin and it can therefore be used on the face and any delicate areas that might find dry brushing a little too harsh. Exfoliating products are widely available in all price ranges and are usually combined with wonderfully scented creams or gels. However, if you do not wish to buy an exfoliating scrub you can easily make you own.

Have an Epsom salts bath every five days

Magnesium is necessary for nearly all the cellular activity in our bodies. Epsom salts are pure magnesium, so bathing in Epsom salts allows the skin to absorb the magnesium. The magnesium will also absorb or 'draw' toxins from the body, so it is likely that you will 'glow' with perspiration for a while after your bath. This will not be quite a sweat - unless you wrap up really warm - but is more likely to feel like being in a very humid room. It is vital to keep warm, not only to increase the effects of the magnesium but also to prevent you from catching a chill. Epsom salts baths will improve circulation and speed up the elimination of toxins.

An Epsom salts bath can also be extremely relaxing and warming, helping to soothe aching joints and muscles. Taken before bed, it will almost certainly guarantee the deepest night's sleep!
