Why a skin detox?

Your skin is addicted

Do you know the feeling that after showering you want to spread a cream on your face as quickly as possible because your skin feels tight or burning?

There are substances in skin care products that your skin becomes addicted to. That is, if you do not use them for a while, your skin will respond, for example with drought or pimples.

The most common addictive substance is mineral oil (also called paraffin, vaseline or mineral oil) and is still used in many creams.

By lubricating this type of fat, you get a sealing layer on your skin and your sebum production gets out of balance. This leads to dehydration, faster skin aging or more blockages. The tight, dry feeling makes you prefer to smear again soon.

With users of lip balm this is already a well -known phenomenon. But just like all addictions, this one is not healthy. By doing a skin detox you get rid of it.

In addition to the mineral oils, your skin also cleans up other (skin -aging) substances such as synthetic perfumes or certain preservatives.

Do you want clean skin again that is optimally balanced? Then do the skint test to know which detox best suits your skin type.

How do you do the detox?

1. Stop lubrication

You stop using all creams, fats and products for 28 days (including makeup, foundations and sunscreen) where one of the following substances is on the ingredient list:

1. Mineral oil, mineral oil, petrolatum, vaseline, paraffin, paraffinum (liquidum)

2. Dimethicone/Cyclomethicone

3. Methyl, Ethyl, Butyl or Propylparaben

4. Parfum (synthetic)

5. PEG

2. Cleaning daily, the Smoothing Peel once a week

Depending on the result of your skint test, you thoroughly clean your face twice a day with the Cleansing Mousse (Normal & Oilyy Skin) or the Gentle Cleansing Milk (Dry & Sensitive Skin). Then you spray the Balancing Toner On your face to immediately bring the acidity of your skin back to the right level. As an extra cleaning and for the recovery of the moisture balance you use the Smoothing Peel.

What can you expect?

The first few days your skin will feel somewhat dry or tractor, or to arise pimples. Don't be shocked, but give your skin time to recover yourself. After 28 days your skin has completely renewed itself and will automatically return to its natural balance.

What do you do after the detox?

A skin detox can make a lot of improvement in your skin condition. Your renewed, healthy skin is radiant and balanced. Your skin will probably no longer be dry and tight, or you have fewer blockages and visibly smaller pores. Your skin can breathe again and absorb nutrients, with all the great results.

If you have completed the 28 days, just continue with your cleaning routine. In addition, we recommend that you do the skint test again (the result can be very different from the detox), or for a Telephone Skin Consult Can be booked for a personal advice from our skin expert Caroline. Then you can determine which caring products are needed for you to add to your cleaning routine.

Tips, tricks and frequently asked questions

What if I really have to spread ten times a day and the skin does not dare, can or want to do the skin?

In that case we recommend that you only do it for a week, or maybe a day or three. That is a lot easier to sustain. There is also a good chance that you have already had the worst after a few days and you can easily continue detoxing.

If this also does not pull you over, know that you can always spread a little (clean, mineral oil and silicone-free) cream if you really don't hold it out. Your skin then needs a little longer for the detox (for example 8 instead of 4 weeks), but it feels less intense.

What am I doing to protect my skin against the sun?

First, stay out of the sun during the detox, or protect yourself with clothing, hat or cap. Is that not possible? Then consider clean mineral makeup (something other than mineral oil) as a foundation. These are powders that usually have protection factor 20/25. Finally, you can always choose to spread a (clean, mineral oil and silicone-free) sunscreen with a natural filter.

Can I use makeup?

It is better not to use makeup at all. Foundations of primers with mineral oil and silicone are worth avoiding during and after the detox. If you still want to level your skin you can use mineral makeup in the form of powders or (clean, mineral oil and silicone-free) liquid foundation. Also might be ours Tinted Day Cream with SPF30 A solution.
