The skin: our largest detoxification organ
Our skin is quite extraordinary: with a size of about one and a half to two square meters in adults, it is our second largest organ and external protective barrier against all external influences. Thus, the protective acid mantle lying on the skin not only protects us from drying out, but also from viruses, bacteria, fungi and other unwanted intruders such as harmful environmental influences. If our skin is exposed to intense sunlight, it reacts by producing melanin, which provides the skin cells with natural protection against the aggressive UV radiation.
But the skin has another important task: Alongside the liver, the kidneys and our intestines, it is our largest detoxification organ. Fat-soluble waste products are excreted via our sebaceous glands, and water-soluble waste products via our sweat glands. For these vital metabolic processes, our skin needs not only sufficient fluids but also minerals. Harmful environmental factors such as particulate matter, exhaust fumes or film-forming ingredients in conventional cosmetics and sunscreens can clog the pores and hinder elimination.
“The most valuable accessory a woman owns is her skin.”
What do skin problems have to do with detoxification?
Most skin problems such as blemishes, eczema or psoriasis represent our body’s desperate attempt to get rid of harmful substances through the skin. If the elimination pathway is inhibited by clogged pores without the body being able to find another outlet, it can lead to a kind of waste buildup that can manifest itself in a variety of complaints. In addition, stress and the stressful UV radiation promote the formation of free radicals and damage our skin cells. The result is sallow, feeble skin and premature aging.
Detoxification via our kidneys and liver thus goes hand in hand with detoxification via our skin. The optimal detox cure for our skin includes two essential aspects:
- Detox from the inside
Durch eine ausgewogene und gesunde Ernährung sowie hochwertige Supplementation, zum Beispiel mit MyAMINO® und VitalBASE® - Detox from the outside
For a radiant and youthful complexion, we recommend the combination of high-quality, natural care products, face and skin masks, and a regular facial massage.
Amino acids: the fountain of youth for your skin
Amino acids are the primary building material of our cells. They play a decisive role in cell structure and cell repair and thus also in the formation and regeneration of the epidermis, i.e. our outer skin layer. Amino acids protect our skin from free radicals through their antioxidant effect and prevent skin aging. They also support our body in the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity, moisture and healthy appearance of skin and connective tissue.
MyAMINO® + VitalBASE®: the Beauty Booster
With its eight essential amino acids, MyAMINO® is a true fountain of youth for your skin. The amino acid formula, composed according to the specific human amino acid pattern, acts like a rebuilding cure from the inside.
Magnesium, iron, silica, selenium and zinc are particularly important for our skin. But also the other minerals in VitalBASE® promote the health of your skin.
The skin shines: homemade face masks
A regularly applied face mask is the ultimate detox cure for our skin: it not only cleanses the skin deep into the pores, but also supports our entire organism in detoxifying and ridding itself of unwanted substances.
By the way, the principle “the skin eats with us” also applies to face or skin masks. Some of the applied substances are visibly absorbed into the skin. You will notice this especially if you only apply a thin layer. To make detox masks, you can basically use many foods that are in your fridge or pantry: Cream, cottage cheese, natural yogurt, olive oil, uncooked eggs, coffee powder, lemon juice, vinegar. You can also add fruits such as lemons or strawberries as juice or pureed to your mask. Basically, use only pure food without additives for your mask. Otherwise, there are virtually no limits to your imagination!
Attention with coffee: Never use instant powder, because in the latter often undesirable substances such as anti-caking agents from aluminum etc. are contained.
Detox mask for healthy and radiant skin
Quark is a wonderful base for a moisturizing, regenerating face mask. Curd stimulates blood circulation and has analgesic, decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also has the ability to draw dirt and impurities from the skin.
For the mask you need the following basic ingredients:
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of fat cottage cheese or natural yogurt with 3.5% fat.
- A few drops of pomegranate oil ( e.g. from Weleda )
- A few drops of sea buckthorn oil
- A few drops of olive oil
Put the ingredients in a bowl and mix everything with a whisk until you get a homogeneous mass. Apply the mixture to your face and décolleté, preferably with a brush. Wash the mask off with lukewarm water after an exposure time of 10 to 15 minutes.
How do the capsules get into the mask?
Simply open the capsule and mix the powder into the base mixture for your detox mask.
Depending on your skin type, you can enhance the quark base mixture with dr.reinwald vital products:
… for dry skin & anti-aging
Mix into the base curd mixture one teaspoon of FlamEXX comp.
… for the prevention of sunburn
Add one teaspoon of EyeCQ to the basic curd mixture. The vitamin C power in EyeCQ protects you from sun damage by fighting off free radicals formed in the skin from sun exposure. The antioxidant power also makes the mask with EyeCQ an excellent effective anti-aging treatment.
Our recommendation: It is best to start taking EyeCQ internally and applying the mask regularly at least 2 to 4 weeks before the start of the sun season. This way you prepare your organism and your skin optimally for the stressful UV rays.
Of course, you can also use EyeCQ acutely in case of sunburn. The quark mask cools and soothes the burned skin. It is best to add some cream to the mass: cream is one of the most effective means for light burns of all kinds.
… for nail fungus & Co.
Dab PektiCLEAN® micro – dissolved in water – on your nail fungus.
… for impure or inflamed skin
Add the following ingredients to the base compound:
- ½ tsp EM ceramic powder (effective microorganisms).
- A few squirts of lemon juice, vinegar or MyREGULATE from dr.reinwald vital.
- For extremely oily skin, we recommend adding a few drops of broccoli seed oil instead of sea buckthorn and olive oil
- For inflammations and skin impurities: 1 tsp FlamEXX comp
- For redness and/ or acne: 1 tsp SerraZYM plus
For an extra portion of skin power, both internally and externally, we recommend our BravoJogurt, which will soon be available again.
Small detox ritual: the facial massage
A regular facial massage is the perfect complement to your detox regimen inside and out. How does it work? It’s simple:
- Cleanse your face and hands thoroughly.
- Apply a fluid, serum or skin care oil that suits your skin type. It is best to combine daily facial care with massage.
- Start in the lower half of the face and massage your skin from the chin outwards towards the ears.
- Then stroke behind the ears down the neck to the collarbone.
- Now comes the middle area of the face: continue the massage from the nose outwards to the ears and back down the neck.
- In the forehead area, start between the brows and massage along the brow line to the temple. Work your way up and massage the entire forehead in this way.
Important Tip:
You should always massage from the inside to the outside of the lymph nodes. This stimulates the lymph flow and thus the removal of harmful substances. Also make sure that you do not apply too much pressure. If the skin is red after the massage, you should proceed more gently. If you use a stone or roller for the massage, you can put it in the refrigerator overnight. This increases the decongestant effect.
