How to proceed ?

The ideal is to carry out this fast in a period of calm, on vacation, on weekends or even while teleworking so as not to solicit it by sweating excessively.


To start a cosmetic fast, it is important to start with a good cleansing of your face. Start by applying your two-phase make-up remover then your cleaning gel. Rinse your face well then pat dry with a towel.


After this step, nothing more needs to be done !


Forget your cosmetics during the cure. The only possibility, your "joker" is a flower water ; in the event of significant tightness, or a feeling of dirt, shine, you can apply a rose hydrosol or even of Orange Blossom, which will relieve you without using creams. Gradually, your skin will regulate itself and you won't even need this trick anymore.


To optimize this fast, practice self-massage , using your fingers or a stone roll-on. This small massage will stimulate the microcirculation, allowing better oxygenation of your skin and stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin .


Finally, do not hesitate to drink a lot in order to eliminate the accumulated toxins (about 1.5 to 2L) by adding for example thyme, rosemary, lemon, which will have purifying virtues and to eat fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants. .


In case of skin problem such as eczema, psoriasis, atopic skin, do not hesitate to ask your dermatologist for advice before starting this fast.
