Happy Detox Season! ☀🌱

Spring is here, and that means it's time to start cleaning the body!

Take a look at my daily routine below for flushing toxins from the body and getting ready for the warmer season ahead!

MY DAILY DETOX ROUTINE:

🍋 Morning Lemon Water:
First thing when I wake up, I fill an 8 oz glass of room temperature water, squeeze half a lemon into it, and sip through a straw (to protect my teeth!). Lemon is known to cleanse toxins, burn fat, and boost metabolism for the day.

🍌Lunchtime Smoothie:
Around noon, I enjoy a 'green smoothie' to fill up with vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals. Smoothies are easy to digest and provide a boost of natural energy. My green smoothie includes: 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of organic spinach, a chunk of organic cucumber, the juice of half a lemon, some organic protein powder and a few pieces of ice. Blend and enjoy!

🧘🏽‍♀️ Midday Yoga:
Moving the body helps to get blood flowing. Yoga in particular is a great way to squeeze out toxins from the muscles and organs, and the deep breathing helps to cleanse the lungs of stale air. I love the way yoga makes me feel grounded and clear-headed! I usually practice free yoga on YouTube.

❌ No alcohol or other substances!
In the wintertime, it's easy to end the day with a couple glasses of wine to unwind. Come spring, it's time to clean up this habit and give my liver a break! I've started to replace my nightly wine with a cup of herbal tea to help me unwind instead. I find chamomile tea extremely relaxing and helpful to let go of the day and prepare for sleep.

I hope you found this look at my daily detox routine inspiring!

What does daily exercise have to do with skincare?

3 Reasons Why Exercise Improves the Appearance of Skin:

1. Exercise is a 'keystone' daily habit that propels one into other positive habits, like sleeping well and eating well. All of these positive daily habits lead to healthier, younger looking skin.

2. Because exercise increases blood flow and circulation through your body, it feeds your skin and gives it an instant, youthful 'glow.' We recommend daily exercise in the morning to give you that ripe and juicy look throughout the day!

-Lastly, the stress-relieving qualities of exercise slow the skin-aging process. Stress is the #1 cause of accelerated aging, and our skin is often the first sign of the aging process. Exercise reduces stress levels, therefore protecting the health of our skin, slowing and sometimes REVERSING the aging process!

Some daily forms of exercise we love for that glowing, healthy skin:
-Yoga
-Walking
-Cycling
