The perfect products for a detox
Detox news from times online paper -
According to Japanese tradition, Matcha, a fragrant, powdered green tea, promotes alertness and focus. Origins Matcha Tea Body Scrub, £35 (0800 7314039), combines essential oils and flakes of therapeutic sea salt to calm the skin and slough off dead cells, leaving your body invigorated and well moisturised.
This thick body mask contains everything you need to feel satisfied with your detox. Clay from Guérande Marine, in Brittany, firms and calms the skin while brown algae increases cell energy. It really is messy, and you will have to sit rather still for ten minutes, but skin is left super-soft and smooth. Detox Body Mud, £10.95, Spa Therapy by Farmacia Urban Healing
The directions that come with INA White Gold Detoxifying Crystal Salt, £45 (020-8740 2085), extravagantly recommend using the entire 1kg container in one bath. As tempting as this may be, it’s not necessary – four scoopfuls is enough. The combination of Himalayan salts and basil, fennel and juniper helps to rid skin of pollutants. Make sure you have your bath in the evening – the salts will knock you out.
Using himself as a guinea pig, Dr Fredric Brandt has become an expert in anti-ageing techniques. He recently extended his range of beauty products with Anti-Oxidant Water Booster (£26, Space NK, www.spacenk .com), which comes in four flavours. One dropperful is the equivalent, he claims, of 15 cups of green tea. By delivering a blast of antioxidants to the system, the booster helps to fight free radicals to promote younger-looking skin. It is caffeine and sugar-free, and the blueberry flavour tastes rather nice.
Bought and sold in Yunnan in China for more than 2,000 years, Pu-erh Chai can, enthusiasts say, reduce cholesterol and blood pressure and aid slimming. The tea contains cardamom, cinnamon and cloves for a warm and soothing flavour. Pu-erh Chai, £9, Emeyu (www .emeyu. com).
