THE BEST
ESSENTIAL OILS
FOR DETOX
By Andres Portillo
L
et’s face it, we all want healthy, glowing skin, especially after a long
season of overindulging and gathering around the dinner table for
large family meals. We now find ourselves wanting to get rid of the
excess and wanting to get back to our gorgeous selves. A simple
and effective way to do that is to add essential oils to your daily skincare
routine. With minimal effort, you can help your body repair cells while
removing harmful toxins from your skin and body. The key is to find the
right ingredients. This is where quality over quantity matters because if
you’re consistently using the wrong products, you're inviting a host of other
problems. Make sure you choose the best for yourself. You want grade “A”
essential oils for excellence.
We’ve gathered your “A-Team” of
essential oils to help support the
natural systems of elimination in
your lymph, skin, liver, colon, and
kidneys.
