Top 8 Foods to Detox Your Skin!

Why Might You Need a Skin Detox, you ask?

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it’s responsible for excreting body waste and impurities mainly via perspiration. When your diet is poor, your body is working extremely hard to remove excess toxins produced by some of these unhealthy foods you consume.

What Are Signs That it’s Time for a Skin Detox?

  • Dry Skin
  • Oily Skin
  • Dull Skin
  • Acne
  • Wrinkles

If you’re looking to improve your skin’s complexion, it’s time to make some better dietary choices!

Here are your best food choices when it comes to detoxifying your skin and restoring its youthful glow!

8 Foods To Eat When Detoxifying Your Skin

  1. Cilantro
    Cilantro is known for its chelating properties. It’s great at removing heavy metals from your system and can help you restore your health.
  2. Beets
    Beets are rich in iron and can improve skin paleness. They also contain an antioxidant called betacyanin which helps support your liver and lymphatic system.
  3. Watercress
    You can vastly improve your skin’s complexion by incorporating watercress into your diet. Watercress is high in iron which can help oxygenate your blood and increase blood circulation to improve your skin tone.
  4. Red Cabbage
    Cruciferous vegetables such as red cabbage increase the levels of glutathione in your body. Glutathione works by neutralizing free radicals, supporting your immune system, and eliminating toxins.
  5. Garlic
    Aside from being a powerful antioxidant, garlic is known to bind to heavy metals such as mercury and removes them from your body!
  6. Parsley
    Parsley contains phytonutrients that protect your skin from cellular damage. It is also a natural diuretic which will help your body eliminate any toxins.
  7. Dulse (dried seaweed)
    If you have dark puffy circles under your eyes, chances are, you are retaining too much water! This can be due to a high-sodium diet or poor kidney function. Dulse is packed with Vitamin B to help balance your electrolyte levels and reduce any excess fluid retention.
  8. Sunflower Seeds
    Sunflower seeds are a rich source of Vitamin E. Vitamin E fights free radical damage and helps keep your skin soft, supple, and wrinkle-free.

8 Foods to Avoid When Detoxifying Your Skin

  1. Refined Sugar
    Refined sugar breaks down collagen which leads to wrinkles.
  2. Canned Foods
    Canned foods are often high in sodium.
  3. Farmed Meat
    Farmed meats may contain antibiotics.
  4. Dairy Products
    Dairy products increase inflammation in your body.
  5. Soy
    Soy can cause hormonal imbalances which may trigger acne in those who are acne-prone.
  6. Polyunsaturated Fats
    Polyunsaturated fats oxidize and form free radicals that damage your skin cells and accelerate the aging process.
  7. Caffeinated Beverages
    Caffeine increases cortisol production. High cortisol levels triggers your skin’s sebaceous glands to produce more sebum (oil).
  8. Alcohol
    Alcohol dehydrates your skin (and body).
