Skin detox: What do you do when your body’s largest organ needs a break

How can you tell that your skin is raring for a detox? Look for the warning signs, from sudden breakouts that you can’t seem to get rid of to dull, sallow skin that refuses to glow no matter what skincare saviour you’re on. If you’ve been subjecting your skin to a truckload of stress—we’re talking overindulging in alcohol, a grease-on-grease diet, and not catching enough winks at night—it’s high time you hit the refresh button on your beauty routine and opt for a detoxifiying regime instead.
