Detox the Easy Way
Friday 15th January 2010 by Elizabeth Richards
January is never much fun so if the festive season has left you looking and feeling less than your best, hide away from the snow and ice and get yourself in tip top condition once more with the latest detox products to hit the shelves.
Whether you need to perk up a tired mind, give your immune system a bit of a boost or shift a few pounds, what would once have necessitated several days in a scary European spa is now available in the comfort of your own home, with products to add to the bath, to the skin and to your breakfast making light work of the whole detox thing.
And there’s nothing basic about our favourite five – we’ve gone for luxury, style and real results so you can get straight to work on a brand new body.
INA White Gold Detoxifying Crystal Salt, £44.04
With a fan base that includes Sophie Dahl, Sadie Frost and Kylie, these deep penetrating bath crystals are crammed with minerals and trace elements plus powerful essential oils of basil, fennel and juniper which work together to relax mind and body and detox the skin. For the best results, use the entire 1kg pack in a hot bath.

Skin NY Patchwork Detox Patches, £16.50
