There’s rehab for the drug-addicted, the sex-obsessed, and the prone-to-depression, but when it comes to cleansing your body of environmental pollutants, good luck getting into Promises.
You can, however, get a doctor to help you out at home.
Dermatology guru Dr. Dennis Gross has put together an all-natural beauty collection for MD Skincare that will cleanse your skin of harmful chemicals while creating a barrier against future pollutants. Although the complete line won’t officially come out until February, you can get your hands on the cornerstone products, called the Detox Duo, right now.
Both the Antioxidant Enzyme Buff and the Purifying Bath Crystals are specially formulated to reverse skin damage while you doze off in the bathtub. Power ingredients include Himalayan salt, Dead Sea salt, berry seeds, and tons of aloe. The line is totally natural, so that means no parabens, no sulfates, no synthetic dyes, or any other hard-to-pronounce products.
And while you marvel at the barrier the products form over your skin (I’ve tried it and trust me, you can feel it), remind yourself just how much better this is than doing the Master Cleanse for a week.
