The skin, being the largest organ of the body, acts as a protective barrier against environmental pollutants, chemicals, and toxins. However, due to daily exposure to pollution, UV rays, unhealthy diets, and skincare products containing harsh chemicals, toxins can accumulate in the skin. These toxins can lead to clogged pores, dullness, acne, premature aging, and irritation.
The body naturally eliminates toxins through sweat, but an overload of impurities can hinder this process. Regular detoxification of the skin helps remove these harmful substances, restore its natural glow, and improve overall skin health. Natural home remedies, including herbal treatments, masks, and hydration, can effectively cleanse the skin without the use of harsh chemicals.
