The

Detox Guide
We’re of the mind that what you put on your body should be held to the same high standards as what you put in it. (We even wrote a book on the topic.) While there’s no wrong time to kick conventionally toxic products out of your shower and load up on self-care sessions that power your body’s built-in detox systems, January is an especially good place to start if you’re following along with our beginning-of-the-year food plan. Here, everything your body needs to really go clean (i.e. all-star, everyday skin care essentials), along with some ideas for upping your detox game (metaphysical colonic, anyone?).
1: Supercharge Your Detox
Sure, skipping gluten is a central tenet of every detox. Also clutch? Getting into a routine that includes a bit of sweat, stimulation, exfoliation, and deep detoxification. We’ve put together a full detox package so you can pick and chose what’s right for you.
