Christmas is over and many of us are starting into the New Year with big plans. Avoiding sweets, alcohol and cigarettes is especially popular and has particularly positive effects on the skin. We have therefore briefly summarized the benefits of fasting for your skin.
Refrain from sweets
Skipping snacks and sweets during the day has a positive effect on our blood sugar levels. If our blood sugar is lower than usual, our bodies release less insulin. As a result, fewer androgens (male hormones) and thus less sebum are produced. This can help against blackheads and blemishes.
Refrain from alcohol
Alcohol is poison for our body and skin. If you practice doing without it, you prevent dilated vessels and weakened connective tissue, as well as dry skin, redness and wrinkles.
Refrain from nicotine
Nicotine damages collagen and elastin fibers, worsens blood circulation and thus leads to sallow skin and wrinkles. If you for a few weeks, the skin has the chance to regenerate.
Whether intermittent or therapeutic, fasting has positive effects on our bodies.
However, as the body detoxifies through the skin, our largest organ needs special care during this time.
In order to rid the skin of it pore-deep, it is helpful, especially in the first days of fasting, to support it with detoxifying products, otherwise there is a risk that the complexion will deteriorate.
The Algae Gel is ideal for supporting the skin during fasting, but also for a gentle detox every one to two weeks.
How does it work?
The Algae Gel contains a high proportion of algin from brown algae. This algin in turn has a “magnetic” effect: it helps attract dead cells skin and toxins and holds them in place. In doing so, they can simply be rinsed off with water and skin is thoroughly clean afterwards.
In order to develop the effectiveness of the algin, simply emulsify the pad with water, stirring well. Applied to the face, neck and décolleté, and gently massaged in, it takes 10-15 minutes to take effect. To wash off the toxins, rinse off thoroughly with plenty of water.
You can enjoy thoroughly clean, fresh and supple skin that is optimally prepared for the active ingredient absorption of the following products.
