Answer

Skin Detoxification Ingredients

To help detoxify the skin and remove accumulated toxins and pollutants, you can look for ingredients that support the skin's natural cleansing processes and protect against environmental damage.

Key approaches include:

  • Exfoliation: Gently removing dead skin cells helps to clear away surface impurities and pollutants that can accumulate. Ingredients like Bio-S Protease™ (a natural enzyme) or fruit-based exfoliants such as FruitPeel™ and Pumpkin Renew™ can help with this process gently.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Environmental pollutants cause oxidative stress on the skin. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and protect skin cells. ChromaDetox™ is an ingredient specifically designed to offer protection against various reactive species caused by environmental stressors.
  • Masks: Peel-off masks, like those made with a Mask acne (Acne Pore Pack, Base / No Color) base, can physically help lift impurities from the skin's surface.

Other ingredients that support overall skin health, such as Witch Hazel (for pore tightening) and Lemon Peel Bioferment (an antioxidant), can also be part of a routine aimed at healthier skin less affected by pollutants.
