HOLISTIC TIPS FOR A TRULY HEALTHY COMPLEXION
Detox YOUR W
skin
hen you think “detox,” you probably think liver—the body’s primary cleansing organ. But to discern whether a cleanse is in order, check your complexion. “Your skin is your body’s largest
organ of elimination and detoxification,” says Linda Page, PhD, author of Healthy Healing (Healthy Healing, 2011). As toxins build up in your kidneys, liver, and bloodstream, you may experience external inflam- mation. Te skin is a backup for the other elimination organs, Page explains. If toxins overload your colon or your liver can’t efficiently filter impurities coming from the digestive tract, your skin tries to compensate by releasing toxins through the surface. “It sweats them out, or throws them off through skin rashes or even abscesses,” says Page. ➻
