10 easy, everyday detox tips!

1. Don't feel guilty

This is probably the most important tip for us. Because the festive season is often synonymous with too much chocolate, too much wine and too many generous family dinners (which are great for morale), we're quickly tempted to curl up in a little bubble of guilt... Life's simple pleasures are, even more so at this special time of year, little pleasures to be cherished.

2. Gently rehabilitate your liver

After enjoying the good times (and the Yule log), we admit to feeling the need to eat more balanced, lighter meals. Broths and pressed juices are good options. In particular, we've put together our selection of #beautyfood recipes recipes for you to try out all year round, and we've even tested a Atelier Nubio juice cure for you to discover here.

3. Pamper your skin

Skin also needs a dose of "reboost" at the start of the year, because the excesses of the festive season often have an impact on skin and hair, and because it's the ideal time to build habits that will last all year long. Discover our selection of skin care products well worth a juice cure.

4. Stay hydrated (from the inside out)

It's not always easy to drink 2.5 L of water a day. Our tip: prepare a large flask to take with you wherever you go, or put a carafe of water at your desk first thing in the morning to make it automatic. If you find it hard to drink lots of water, opt for a ginger-lemon infusion (or The French Herborist infusions we love at Oh My Cream).

5. Detoxify your body (and mind) with heat

Sweating eliminates toxins, so if you can combine relaxation and pleasure with usefulness, we love it! After a hard day's work, why not take a few minutes' respite in a hot bath? The warmth of the water will accelerate sweating and soothe away tension.. For added benefits, we like to add a few drops of essential oils carefully chosen for their virtues according to your needs and desires: lavender to relax, arnica for muscular tension, pine and silver fir to tone.

6. Using nature's resources (plants, aromatherapy & phytotherapy)

Plants are sometimes well known for being allies in our daily lives, "inside & out". However, they should be used with caution, as some are not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women, or for children under 6. Our two essential oils? The lemon to purify and boost the immune system, juniper juniper to drain and boost the lymphatic system.

7. A facial (self)massage

To eliminate toxins and promote blood circulation, in addition to relaxing, this year we're incorporating facial massage into our beauty routine. We apply our skincare products and massage them in using a small jade or rose quartz roll-on, or a gua sha, and don't forget the neck to eliminate toxins (lymphatic drainage). And voilà, your skin is plumped up and more luminous - no more dull complexion, hello glow.

8. In the arms of Morpheus

The festive season is not all rest and relaxation. Between last-minute emergencies at the office, Christmas presents to finish, meals to plan... It's not unusual to forget to settle down and get enough sleep. And yet.., it's at night that our organs work hardest, regenerate and detoxify. Turn your bedroom into a cosy little nest: program all electronic devices to switch off at a reasonable hour, and curl up in bed with a book. I promise, you'll never want to leave this little cocoon.

9. Focus on probiotics

We've already told you about the benefits of these little bacteria that do everything right : They're anti-inflammatory and boost our skin flora. What if we also adopted them after the holidays, to make up for the little imperfections that have poked their noses into our pretty faces, or to kill two birds with one stone and restore the balance of our intestinal flora (a little battered during the end-of-year period)?

10. Dry brushing

As well as exfoliating the skin, this method drains the lymphatic system, bringing stagnant lymph back to the lymph nodes. The body eliminates toxins via the lymph nodes.
