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

Omnisens has set itself the mission of exploring all the paths that lead you to well-being. Today, we have decided to lift the veil on Detox, that 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 lovely complexion, silky hair, and all your vigor!

The primary goal is to naturally eliminate toxins accumulated in the body through the emunctories, in other words, the organs that allow the body to get rid of 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. Giving importance back to "Good sleep," practicing regular physical activity, and adopting good beauty habits are also part of a detoxifying program.

In short, detox is simply about ensuring 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 is up to you to decide the ideal time for you.

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

If you feel well, then there is no rule on the matter; the detox cure can start anytime! But we still recommend avoiding festive and excessive periods, whether it is 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, and especially to respect the seasonality of its gifts. Because 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 offer yourself a skin detox and renew your skin. (To read the article on Spring Detox and its top 5 natural ingredients for perfect skin, click here)

Do you really know all that green tea

can do for you?

Green tea is a virtuous plant, possessing countless benefits for your health as well as 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 the 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.

Whether as a drink or in cosmetics, green tea is also known for its powerful antioxidant virtues. Rich in tannins, green tea has astringent and balancing properties, 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 virtues. 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 based on green tea:

– Give in 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 enjoy an equivalent dose of energy... 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 take advantage of applying the tea bag, infused for a few minutes, under the eyes to refresh tired eyes, reduce puffiness, and lessen dark circles.

– Hydrate and refresh your skin in one gesture with our INSTANT FRESHNESS® Moisturizing Body Milk.

Why is it important to include physical activity and moments of relaxation 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 heart into the work.

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

And to practice physical activity. For a lively detox, it is advised 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 ease 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, nursing mothers, the elderly, children, and teenagers.
