Every year the detox cures resurface. Juices, supplements, herbal blends - all promising to purify your body. But science is clear: detox as sold by the wellness industry is largely a myth.
Dr Marine Vincent from The French Pharmacy Blog explained it well in The Myth of the Detox: your organs already do the work. You can't force them to do more.
What your skin actually needs
Instead of miracle cures, focus on the basics:
- Gentle cleansing that respects the skin barrier
- Hydration with proven ingredients
- Barrier repair with ceramides
