Many of us make New Year’s resolutions to eat more healthily, and cleanse our bodies after the excesses of Christmas. But it can be all too easy for good intentions to fall along the wayside if you don’t see quick results.
These vitamin-rich, hard-working detox supplements will all compliment a healthy diet and exercise routine and you can expect increased energy, a stronger immune system or an improved complexion with regular use.
Beauty Doses: Detox Formula
Functionalab at Harrods
With Milk Thistle and the powerful nutrient Silymarin, both of which supports the detoxification and purification process, Detox Formula encourages and enhances the function of the liver and the digestive system. Bloating and sluggishness will be banished, and you will gain a brighter complexion as a better-functioning liver will naturally purge impurities from your skin.
48HR Super-Charged Cleanse
David Kirsch
Combining Milk Thistle, cranberry extract and acai berry, David Kirsch’s Pink Lemonade (Acai & Lemon flavour) 48hr Super Charged Cleanse is formulated to effectively cleanse the top colon, liver and kidneys. Additional B vitamins and Fibresol support the digestive system, naturally suppressing appetite and providing an energy boost. A quick fix to help you feel slimmer, healthier and more energised in just 2 days.
Eye Detox Purifying Capsules
Talika at BeautyBay.com
These capsules stimulate the function of the kidneys, helping to eliminate the toxins, which in turn decongests the delicate eye area – where you always see the effects of alcohol, late nights and a sugary diet. After 28 days you can expect reduced swelling, hydrated and supple skin around the eye contours, and a reduction in puffiness and dark circles.
Pure MSM Tablets
Oskia
MSM – known as ‘the beauty mineral’ – supports healthy collagen production, boosts cell turnover and strengthens skin, hair and nails. These tablets by Oskia also contain natural anti-inflammatories, and a high level of sulphur to prevent premature aging and help to detoxify the skin. Take one tablet a day for glowing skin – the perfect supplement to kick-start your January beauty regime.
Detox Tea
Dr Stuart at Holland & Barret
An easy change to make to your routine is to replace your usual tea with a detox version – our favourite is by Dr Stuart – a pure, natural and Caffeine-free tea which is packed with dandelion, burdock, sage and ginger to cleanse and refresh, and peppermint to soothe your digestive system.
Total Body Booster
Cosmetofruit at Space NK
A fantastic option for those of us struggling with water retention, as this daily elixir contains Green Tea extract to fight feelings of bloatedness. In addition, Spirulina Seaweed extract detoxifies and renews elasticity and tone to the skin, and lipids reduce the appearance of cellulite – making this a great addition to a toning exercise regime.
