Skin care products that promise to purge skin of toxins may sound impressive, but the truth is toxins cannot leave your body through your skin or pores—it’s physiologically impossible! Instead, this job falls primarily to your kidneys & liver, the body’s detoxifying organs, which do a pretty good job on their own, as long as you’re healthy. What you CAN do is use products that can help defend skin from toxins in the environment. Antioxidants really can help thwart the negative effects of environmental toxins by interrupting the free radical damage they cause when used as a part of your daily routine. Luckily we’re huge fans of packing our products full of the best antioxidants. . . . . . #PaulasChoice #SkinCare #SkinCareEssentials #SkinCareRoutine #DetoxingSkin #Detoxing #SkinCareEducation References: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, December 2015, pages 675–686 Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2012, pages 1–10 The dubious practice of detox - Harvard Health htt...
