From juice cleanses to body brushing, BDirty Co is sharing our top 5 ways to detox your mind and body for a healthy 2018.
1. Face Detox
The face is getting some serious attention in 2018. More people are switching to clean beauty products (yeah!), and you’ll find that more of us are simplifying what we put on our face every day.
One impactful change is to cut out all harmful ingredients that you’re putting on your face. If you aren’t sure what those are, here is the Dirty Dozen cosmetic chemicals to avoid.
We guarantee that these ingredients have snuck their way into your beauty drawer at some point in time. The New Year is a great time to go all natural and purge all that needs to go…. chemicals especially!
2. Skin Detox
With the skin being your largest organ, many people forget to detox this part of the body. Start by creating a dry brush ritual in the morning before you hop into the shower.
Dry brushing has been used for centuries to detoxify the lymphatic system to release toxins from the skin. To increase blood and lymph flow, gently scrub your body with a natural-bristled brush, starting at your feet, in the direction toward your heart. Once you’ve done your entire body, shower or bathe to rinse. Find out more details about dry brushing here.
3. Pit Detox
Don’t worry, detoxing your armpits doesn’t have to mean smelling like onions for a month. Really, it only means ridding your underarms of toxic chemicals and choosing a natural deodorant that works!
BDirty Co’s newest B.O.-buster is our Raw Honey, Magnesium, and Charcoal Deodorant. With activated charcoal being a natural detoxifier, this is a clean choice for anyone with sensitive underarms who is looking for an all-natural and effective deodorant. You can purchase yours here.
So, bdirty, we’ve got you covered!
4. Body Detox
We can’t talk about detoxing without mentioning Nectar Juicery. Nectar has always been BDirty Co’s go-to for a much needed reset. With their super easy and flexible cleanses, you’re bound to find the perfect plan that fits your detoxing needs. We love the Soup + Juice Cleanse!
5. Mind Detox
Detoxing your mind is one part of detoxing that you don’t want to overlook. One of our favorite ways is to practice a walking meditation around the Farmstead, but you don’t have to have a Farmstead for this practice, it can be done anywhere! Here’s how….
Go for a 10-15 minute walk without any technology or anything in your hands (that means no dog leash, no phone, nada!)
During the walk, just observe. Start by focusing on the sound of your footsteps. Then notice the other sounds that surround you. Observe the colors you see and feel the breeze on your face. Try to be present and in the moment, soaking in the experience through all your senses.
This is a great introduction to meditation, and the perfect way to detox your mind of negative thoughts.
These 5 simple ways to detoxify your mind and body will make a healthy impact in your New Year. Here’s to a toxic-free 2018!
