New complexion: Detoxifying your skin
The expert: Isabelle Benoit, Director of scientific innovation at Esthederm."Spring is the season to purify the body, so try to drink more juices to cleanse. But do not forget to also detoxify the skin otherwise you risk getting a breakout! In preparing the skin to better withstand the harms of the summer sun, do the right thing: enjoy a good peeling mask at home or in a beauty parlour, eliminate toxins with micro-circulation and choose a cream packed with antioxidants."
5/5
New diet: The mono-diet
The expert: Erwann Menthéour, well-being coach and founder of training program Fitnext."Take advantage of the change in season for a bodily deep-cleanse. Start the following program in the weekend as you might feel a slight headache on the second day.- Spend 3 days mono-dieting, preferably on satiating apples and a lot of water and green tea.
- Spend 2 days with starchy vegetables (potato / chickpeas / rice).
- Day 6: delight in the reintroduction of animal protein.
During the weeks following to this diet: eat only one portion of protein a day and avoid coffee to cleanse the intestines and feel refreshed in your 'new' body!"
