Swelling in the body, thanks to a greater water retention, dry skindue to alcohol consumption, or signs of oilinessThese are some of the most frequent consequences, due to eating more fatty foods. But then, how can we stop these symptoms? The answer is simple: with the right habits and consistency.

The most basic care can be the most important. Read on and find out 5 basic care that will make you feel better and get your post-holiday detox done right!

 

1. Skin care cannot be forgotten

Having a routine of skin care of the face is our first tip for your detox.

• Cleansing the skin well is crucial, because only after being free of impurities and toxinswill be able to absorb the nutrients you need. Take care to choose the cleaning product right for you. The best moisturiser in the world won't work if it's not the right one for your skin type;
• The next step is to apply the facial toner. This product helps remove traces of dirt and revitalise the skin;
• Next, it is time to nourish the skin, either with serum or facial moisturiser (depending on what you use);
• Finally, don't forget to protect your skin from UV rays by applying a sunscreen.

 

2. Hydration is the watchword

A fluid intakeas water, teas and natural juices, should be part of your routine, even more so during a detox. These should be integrated into your daily care, both beauty and health. In addition to hydrating, they reduce the typical post-party swelling, replenish lost fluid levels and make you feel better.

Your skin will thank you too, as good hydration helps to keep it healthy, with a natural glow and even delays the signs of ageing.

We advise you to drink between 1.5 and 2 litres of water per day. If this is a complicated task, you can always add lemon slices or mint leaves, to make the taste more pleasant.

 

3. Complement your detox with a healthy diet

According to Directorate-General for HealthA healthy and balanced diet is one that respects the food wheel. In other words, it includes the right quantities of vegetables, fruit, carbohydrates, proteins and pulses, among others.

Being strict with your diet during a detox is imperative. After a period of heavy drinking or eating too much fat, it is normal for your body to become unbalanced. Following a healthy diet and avoiding certain foods will help you "get back on track" and feel better, faster. So stick to a balanced diet!

 

4. A diet rich in vitamins is fundamental

After a season of excess, your body may be lacking certain vitamins and nutrients. The fact that it is winter, a time more prone to colds and flu, can leave you more vulnerable. Therefore, betting on immune system boosting might be a good idea!

Before starting a multivitamin, we advise you to speak to a healthcare professional such as your doctor or pharmacist.

 

5. Don't underestimate the power of a good night's sleep

Sleep is a basic care and perhaps one of the most underrated. A sleeping period 7 to 8 hours a night is essential for your health, both in the short and long term.

It is common that, during the festive season, you do not get regular sleep and end up leaving many hours without sleep. However, after the festive season, it is important to get back into a routine that respects your body's needs.

Good sleep habits will help your body to normalise functioning and enter the new year with the right energy!
