Facial skin is a kind of protective barrier between the environment and the body; it is the first to take the blow of negative factors and accumulates toxins and dirt. Mountain air, spring water, lack of dust, ecological products are ideal conditions for the skin, but life in the modern world forces you to plunge into a more aggressive environment.
The skin must cleanse itself, remove the trapped “garbage”, due to the large number of negative factors that the body is not designed for, it is not always possible to cope, detox cosmetics come to the rescue.
Restoration of the epidermis occurs due to improved blood circulation and lymph flow, fluid does not stagnate in the layers of the skin and toxins come out.
Cells are better saturated with oxygen, the division process accelerates. The face becomes smooth, fine wrinkles disappear, dark circles under the eyes and signs of fatigue disappear, the skin acquires a natural color and glows with health.

Cosmetics labeled “detox” appeared relatively recently, but have gained enormous popularity among brands. It is a mistake to believe that creams and masks are needed only for aging skin; young girls can solve a number of problems with the help of cosmetics.
Detox ingredients penetrate deep into the pores, literally pull out the “dirt” out and free the cells from accumulated toxins. Oxygen penetrates better into the epidermis, promotes the delivery of beneficial vitamins and elements, which is why masks are often covered with bubbles.
Skin drainage improves, lymph flow ensures cells are filled with fluid. The face is smoothed out, wrinkles disappear. The epidermis divides more actively, the rejuvenation process is further accelerated and premature aging is prevented.
Detox masks and creams restore the skin's protective barrier, pores produce the right amount of sebaceous fat, and rashes go away. The result depends on the cause of the problems; if the unhealthy appearance of the face appeared due to a difficult work week, then it will be easy to restore the pores, just rest enough and apply a couple of cosmetics.
Dull skin, as a result of general fatigue and regular lack of sleep, is “treated” comprehensively, masks and creams are supplemented with proper nutrition and general health improvement of the body. Advanced cases can only be corrected by a doctor, but skincare products with a detox effect will definitely be on the treatment list.

Types of drugs
The cause of intoxication is often cell hypoxia, which is a lack of oxygen. This situation leads to a slowdown in the removal of waste. In this case, it is necessary to use creams or gels containing oxygen (encapsulated). Such products refresh the complexion, increase skin sensitivity, normalize hydrobalance and moisturize the skin. An example of such cosmetics is Take a Deep Breath Philosophy.
Universal facial skin cleansing is based on the use of products with vitamins A and E, ascorbic acid, as well as masks based on seaweed containing alginic acid and healthy salts. The latter are capable of drawing out any kind of pollution, including salts of heavy metals.

An alternative to cleansing using cosmetic masks are peelings. They bring faster, more pronounced results and provide the deepest possible cleansing. Enzymes that have a natural and gentle effect (for example, papaya enzymes) are well suited for detoxification. They remove surface contaminants without affecting the epidermis or causing skin irritation.

Detox masks and creams should be used at any age if there are skin problems caused by lack of sleep, poor diet and dirty air. These cosmetics will cope with a number of problems and improve the protective function of the epidermis. A professional cosmetologist will prescribe treatment for advanced cases, and minor problems can be solved on your own, just buy a mask and cream in the store.
Skin detoxification protocol
The first procedure in the protocol is the activation of lymphatic drainage and microcirculation. For lymphatic drainage techniques, the drug Hyalual 1.1% is used, since it contains the smallest amount of hyaluronic acid, namely 11 mg/ml, which is known to attract water, which does not contribute to lymphatic drainage. In this case, the concentration of sodium succinate is 1.6%, that is, 16 mg/ml, which is the proven required concentration to ensure physiological function.
The injection technique is micropapular, intradermal injection. This allows you to actively stimulate the lymphatic vessels of the face and neck.
The component composition of the drug normalizes skin hydration and affects fibroblast mitochondria, stimulating metabolism. The procedure is carried out twice every 14 days. This is an excellent preparation for further stimulating hardware procedures, surgical techniques, as well as botulinum therapy to prevent swelling.
There are two proprietary methods of lymphatic drainage technique that take into account the main pathways of lymphatic drainage - the method of S. A. Korytseva (Fig. 2)
and the technique of L.A. Balitskaya

The use of these techniques is the first step in the skin redermalization complex. After detoxing once with Hyalual 1.1%, depending on the morphotype of aging, the following protocols are used.
For tired and deformed types, 14 days after the first procedure, a second procedure is performed using Hyalual 1.1% in the lymphatic drainage or papular technique.
For muscular and finely wrinkled types, a procedure using the drug Hyalual 1.8% in the papular technique is indicated for the purpose of additional tissue hydration and providing an antioxidant effect. The third stage, for a tired and muscular morphotype, shows the use of the drug Hyalual 2.2% in a linear technique to strengthen the dermal matrix and provide a lifting effect.
For deformation and fine wrinkled types, according to individual indications, you can use the drug with a concentration of 1.8% or 2.2% in a linear technique. These protocols will ensure a complete skin detoxification effect.
Advantages and disadvantages
A clear advantage of detox cleansing is deep sanitation and healthier skin. Internal work is activated, appearance is improved, and well-being is stabilized. All detox effects are mild: they do not cause inconvenience and do not cause serious complications.
The downside of skin detoxification is its low effectiveness if the overall health of the body is ignored.
Attention! Problems quickly return if the influence of negative factors is not excluded.
