The skin: our largest detoxification organ
Our skin is truly extraordinary: measuring around one and a half to two square meters in adults, it is our second-largest organ and our outer protective barrier against all external influences. The acid mantle 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. When our skin is exposed to intense sunlight, it reacts by producing melanin, which provides the skin cells with natural protection against aggressive UV radiation.
But the skin has another important task: alongside the liver, kidneys, and our intestines, it is our largest detoxification organ. Fat-soluble waste products are excreted via our sebaceous glands, while water-soluble waste products are excreted via our sweat glands. For these vital metabolic processes, our skin needs not only sufficient fluids but also minerals. Harmful environmental factors such as fine dust, 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 blocked by clogged pores and the body cannot find another outlet, a kind of waste backlog can occur, which may manifest itself in a wide variety of complaints. In addition, stress and harmful UV radiation promote the formation of free radicals and damage our skin cells. The result is dull, weak-looking skin and premature skin aging.
Detoxification via our kidneys and liver therefore goes hand in hand with detoxification via our skin. The optimal detox treatment for our skin includes two essential aspects:
- Detox from within
Through a balanced and healthy diet as well as high-quality supplementation, for example with MyAMINO® and 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 regular facial massage.
Amino acids: the fountain of youth for your skin
Amino acids are the primary building blocks of our cells. They play a crucial role in cell formation and cell repair, and therefore also in the formation and regeneration of the epidermis, our outer layer of skin. Amino acids protect our skin from free radicals through their antioxidant effect and help 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 the 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 restorative treatment from within.
Magnesium, iron, silica, selenium, and zinc are particularly important for our skin. But the other minerals in VitalBASE® also promote the health of your skin.
Skin that glows: homemade face masks
A regularly applied face mask is the ultimate detox treatment for our skin: it not only cleanses the skin deep into the pores, but also supports our entire organism in detoxifying and freeing itself from unwanted substances.
Incidentally, the principle “the skin eats too” also applies to face or skin masks. Some of the applied substances visibly absorb into the skin. You notice this especially when you apply only a thin layer. To make detox masks, you can basically use many foods that you have in your refrigerator or pantry: cream, quark, natural yogurt, olive oil, uncooked eggs, coffee powder, lemon juice, vinegar. You can also add fruits such as lemons or strawberries to your mask as juice or purée. As a general rule: use only pure foods without additives for your mask. Otherwise, there are virtually no limits to your imagination!
Caution with coffee: you should never use instant powder here, as it often contains unwanted substances such as aluminum-based anti-caking agents, etc.
Detox mask for healthy, radiant skin
Quark is a wonderful base for a moisturizing, regenerating face mask. Quark stimulates circulation and has pain-relieving, decongestant, and anti-inflammatory effects. It also has the ability to draw dirt and impurities out of the skin.
For the mask, you need the following basic ingredients:
- 2 to 3 tablespoons full-fat quark 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 whisk everything together until a homogeneous mixture forms. It is best to apply the mixture to the face and décolleté with a brush. Wash off the mask with lukewarm water after leaving it on for 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 one teaspoon of FlamEXX comp. into the quark base mixture.
… for the prevention of sunburn
Add one teaspoon of EyeCQ to the quark base mixture. The vitamin C power in EyeCQ protects you from sun damage by defending against the free radicals that are formed in the skin by sun exposure. Thanks to its antioxidant power, the mask with EyeCQ is also excellently suited as an effective anti-aging treatment.
Our recommendation: Ideally, start taking EyeCQ internally and applying the mask regularly at least 2 to 4 weeks before the start of the sunny season. This optimally prepares your body and your skin for the harmful UV rays.
Of course, you can also use EyeCQ acutely in the event of sunburn. The quark mask cools and soothes the burned skin. It is best to add a little cream to the mixture: cream is one of the most effective remedies for mild burns of all kinds.
… for nail fungus & co.
Dab PektiCLEAN® micro – dissolved in water – onto your nail fungus.
… for blemished or inflamed skin
Add the following ingredients to the base mixture:
- ½ tsp EM ceramic powder (effective microorganisms)
- A few splashes 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 inflammation and skin blemishes: 1 tsp FlamEXX comp
- For redness and/or acne: 1 tsp SerraZYM plus
For an extra dose of skin power both internally and externally, we recommend our BravoJogurt, which will be available again soon.
A small detox ritual: facial massage
A regular facial massage is the perfect complement to your detox treatment from the inside and outside. How does it work? Very simply:
- Thoroughly cleanse your face and hands.
- Apply a fluid, serum, or facial care oil that suits your skin type. Ideally, combine your daily facial care with the massage.
- Start in the lower half of the face and stroke your skin outward from the chin toward the ears.
- Then stroke down the neck behind the ears toward the collarbone.
- Now comes the middle area of the face: continue the massage from the nose outward toward the ears and then down the neck again.
- For the forehead area, start between the eyebrows and massage along the brow line to the temples. Work your way further upward and massage the entire forehead in this way.
Important tip:
You should always massage from the inside outward toward the lymph nodes. This stimulates lymph flow and thus the removal of harmful substances. Also make sure that you do not apply too much pressure. If the skin is reddened after the massage, you should proceed more gently. If you use a stone or roller for the massage, you can place it in the refrigerator overnight. This enhances the decongestant effect.
