People tend to think that a detox is simply a way to cleanse their gut with a fruit juice, smoothie, or perhaps even a turmeric shot. But it's so much more than that. Detoxing involves the elimination of harmful substances both inside and outside of the body. What you take into your body can affect your outer appearance and vice versa.
A detox can involve reducing the toll that pollutants, chemicals, make-up, and washing powder have on your skin. It's important to give your skin room to breathe and rejuvenate itself so it can:
- Retain its elasticity to avoid premature ageing and dullness.
- Reduce its chances of becoming inflamed.
- Lessen the appearance of unsightly enlarged pores.
- Increase the absorption of antioxidants and natural Vitamin D for better skin health and appearance.
- Balance the production of sebum so your skin won't appear to be too dry or too oily.
Now that we've explained the benefits, we'll go through some of the best clean and detox products for skin health from the IKKARI range.
Best Drinks for a Skin Detox
Detoxing your skin with one of our blends or tonics can be a delicious way to get healthier skin.
- Turmeric Tonic: Drink with still or sparkling water to improve your overall health, inside and out. Turmeric contains a powerful antioxidant called curcumin, which has been known to improve the skin's complexion and reduce ageing.
- Good Greens Superblend: Packed with plenty of nutritious vegetables, botanical extracts, and spices, if you incorporate this into your detox routine, you'll be onto a winner! We all know how good spinach is for you, but did you know that it's full of vitamin A, which moderates the production of oil, reducing acne, and leaving your skin hydrated? What's more, beetroot helps to exfoliate dead skin cells and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. There are so many more benefits to this drink than we can include here, so you'll just have to try it for yourself!
- Radiance Tonic: Proteins, plant, and fruit extracts work to bring out your natural outer beauty from within. You can expect to see an improvement of visible fine lines and achieve the radiant, supple skin you've always dreamed of!

Don't Overdo Your Skincare Routine
You should definitely enjoy your clean and detox skincare routine for clearer skin, but it's possible to take it too far and risk either removing or causing an overproduction of its natural oils. Not enough natural oils can result in skin infections from a buildup of pollutants and impurities, while overproduction can cause acne to flare up. We'd recommend only cleansing your skin once a day before bed to remove all the toxins you've accumulated throughout the day. This way, you'll be giving your skin a chance to breathe and rehydrate as you sleep.
