Detox?

It has reached the time of year that I begin to think about detoxing from my holiday eating bad habits.  Not only do I FEEL better after a week or so of a detox, but I notice I LOOK better too!  Natural beauty at its best, detoxed!!

I've successfully done a detox once a year for 7 years, but then the last 2 years my body really struggles (muscle cramping, nerve pain) so I'm trying something new and with more nutritional value this year.

Another new layer I'll add this year is a detoxifying mask for my face.  Why not reap the benefits of a total-body and skin detox at the same time?  I'll look amazing for upcoming family photos! (I hope)  I decided to try Younique's Royalty Detoxifying Mask ahead of time, and here's what I found:

It's bubbly! I had the rejuvenating feeling of oxygenation happening all over my face.  I felt effervescent!  The charcoal and bark extracts and stem powders that give this mask it's black look smelled great! No funny odors at all.  Even better, when I accidentally (and very sadly!) knocked my jar of mask to the floor it cleaned off of ceramic tile and pale grout easily with water - leaving NO STAINS!!

Thankfully, this IS NOT a peel-off mask.  After letting it rest on my face for 5 minutes, it wiped off easily with a wash cloth and would have rinsed off like a dream in the shower.  My skin felt refreshed and incredibly cleaned.  My deepest pores were unclogged!  Those oxygen bubbles got deeply into all of them.

There is nothing as wonderful-feeling as that deep clean.  I'll liken it to leaving the dentist's office after a cleaning with the squeakiest clean teeth.  And putting on the rest of my makeup for my day in Boston was a quick and easy process with such a clean canvas to start from.

This Royalty Detoxifying Mask has a recommended use of 2-3 times per week, and I'll happily keep that regimen up during my body detox and beyond!
