Try a spring detox

If your New Year’s resolutions had been firmly set aside before the last remnants of December 31st were properly cleaned up, now might be a good time to come back to the idea of detoxing.
Think about it: January is not the best time to start a new diet or commit to pouring the Pinot Grigio down the sink anyway. We still feel full of pastry and cake from Christmas and the dark evenings and overcast days just scream out for comfort food and booze.
So now that spring is starting to appear, try overhauling your diet so you can feel fresh and ready to enjoy the sunshine when it finally comes out.
According to herbalist and nutritional therapist Andrew Johnson, certain herbal teas have a detoxifying effect to cleanse the body and rid it of toxins.
Some have a diuretic effect to clean the kidneys, some are laxatives and can help the bowel, liver and digestive system, while others will produce a diaphoretic effect to cause sweating and aid the detox, he explained.
"But detox should really be considered on a cellular level, ultimately. When people think of detox they often think of what are called channels of elimination - the bowel, the kidneys, skin, lungs," the nutritional expert noted. "That’s true - they are important channels for detox."
If you feel sluggish and lethargic, it may be that your food consumption needs to be reviewed. Many people have an undiagnosed food intolerance or sensitivity that causes bloating and other side effects, so jot down what you eat for a few days and see if there is anything on your list that could be triggering a reaction.
"Sometimes wheat sensitivity, intolerance or allergy can be a problem for the bowel," added Mr Johnson.

- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
