class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Myth Buster: Skin Detoxing<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If your skin is feeling stressed out, the concept of a \u201cskin detox\u201d is a pretty alluring one. Imagine giving your face a holiday, allowing it to rest and reset while flushing out all the bad stuff. Sounds pretty good, right?&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But is skin detoxing just a fantasy \u2013 or is there some truth to the technique? We posed the question to the Skin + Me Dermatology Team, and asked them all about the best ways to get your skin looking its best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is detoxing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Detoxing is the process of removing toxins from the body. Toxins can be harmful substances that you ingest or come into contact with, or they might just be waste products that are produced naturally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have read that you can kick-start the detoxification process with things like lemon water, detox patches or viral green tea face masks, but that isn\u2019t quite true. Your kidneys and liver work hard to remove all the bad stuff in your body, so if everything is in working order then they should have you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is skin detoxing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/truth-and-tiktok-skincare-trends-face-icing-dermaplaning-and-slugging\/\">TikTok<\/a>, the hashtag #skindetox has more than 50 million views. Videos show elaborate routines that aim to promote glowing skin \u2013 think strict regimes, intricate concoctions and a whole lot of green juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no specific definition of skin detoxing, since it\u2019s an idea that\u2019s grown in popularity on social media rather than in medical circles. The underlying concept is that you can refresh your skin by applying products that draw out toxins, consuming products that fight against toxins, or by limiting the toxins entering your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does skin detoxing work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be nice to be able to magically refresh your skin over a week\u2019s detox, but unfortunately, it\u2019s not quite that simple.
