Autumn cleansing: Everything you need to know to take care of your well-being

Omnisens has made it its mission to explore all the paths that lead you to well-being. Today, we have decided to lift the veil on Detox, the topic everyone talks about without really knowing how to explain it! Are you ready? Then let's go!

What is detox? What is it for?

Detox is a health practice that involves cleansing the body of all toxins, recharging from within to boost your vitality… and ultimately, detox helps you regain a beautiful complexion, silky hair, and all your energy!

The primary goal is to naturally eliminate toxins accumulated in the body through the emunctories, that is, the organs that allow the body to eliminate waste, such as the liver, lungs, and kidneys.

But in reality, detoxification should be seen as a pleasant reunion with your balance… dietary, but not only that. Giving importance to "Good sleep," practicing regular physical activity, and adopting good beauty habits are also part of a detoxifying program.

In short, detox simply means taking care to regain a good lifestyle, in the broadest sense of the term!

When should you consider a detox cure?

How to go about it?

Only you truly have the answer to this question. If you are motivated, ready to correct bad eating habits and adjust your lifestyle, then it’s up to you to decide the ideal time.

But keep in mind: your body must have the strength! A detox cure can be useful, provided the metabolism has enough strength to self-cleanse.

If you feel well, there is no rule here; a detox cure can start anytime! But we still recommend avoiding festive and excessive periods, whether it’s your birthday, Easter, or Christmas…

Why is it interesting to adapt your detox to the seasons?

Each season has its challenges, but above all, its products. It is essential for Omnisens to respect nature, naturalness, and what it has to offer us, especially respecting the seasonality of its gifts. Autumn does not offer the same fruits and vegetables as summer or spring!

And detox also means choosing a more plant-based diet, especially by making good use of green vegetables and their benefits.

As for winter, if it can leave your skin dull and dehydrated, then spring is the best time of year to give yourself a skin detox and renew your complexion. (To read the article on Spring Detox and its top 5 natural ingredients for perfect skin, click here).

Do you really know everything green tea can do for you?

Green tea is a virtuous plant with countless benefits for your health and your skin. Its effects largely depend on the concentration and balance of the different ingredients present in the leaves or tea powder.

Generally, green tea, a powerful detoxifier, stimulates metabolism, improves vitality and athletic performance, and also has many anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties! Moreover, its digestive aid virtues also help strengthen the immune system.

As a drink or in cosmetics, green tea is also recognized for its powerful antioxidant properties. Rich in tannins, green tea has astringent and rebalancing virtues, making it an excellent ally for combination to oily skin.

Thanks to its many polyphenols (micronutrients found in plants), green tea destroys free radicals responsible for skin aging and also has anti-inflammatory properties. Purifying and detoxifying, green tea helps regulate sebum production and tighten pores. A true beauty and anti-aging success.

Our beauty and well-being tips with green tea

– Succumb to the Koridashi method, a Japanese iced tea technique that consists of slowly infusing tea leaves with ice cubes (discover it in a video on our Instagram account).

– Swap your morning coffee for a cup of green tea to get an equivalent energy boost… but more “detox-friendly”! Treat yourself to a moment of lightness and softness with the subtle blend of LUMIÈRE DU JOUR® (green tea but also white tea) or for a more exotic break, choose our green tea DÉLICE PASSION® with notes of coconut, pineapple, and sunflower flowers!

– Then use the tea bag, infused for a few minutes, under your eyes to refresh tired eyes, reduce puffiness, and diminish dark circles.

– Hydrate and refresh your skin in one step with our INSTANT DE FRAICHEUR® Moisturizing Body Milk.

Why is it important to include physical activity and relaxation moments in your detox program?

The answer is very simple: the more the body receives elimination signals from different systems (nutrition, mind, activity, skin, etc.), the more it puts effort into the work.

It is therefore important in any detox practice to seek to calm our mind: walk in the woods, listen to relaxing music, do breathing or meditation exercises…

And practice physical activity. For a tonic detox, it is recommended to do a “gentle” run: alternate ten running strides and ten walking strides. To engage your muscles, it is recommended to start yoga!

Finally, massages can perfectly fit into your program! Relaxation and body rest are essential to ensure the success of your detox cure.

I really want to start an autumn detox cure, but is it right for me?

If you suffer from a health problem or deficiencies, it is better to seek advice from a doctor, dietitian, or naturopath before starting a detox cure, even if it only lasts a few days…

Detox cures are not suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, the elderly, children, and teenagers.
