Sometimes we can neglect the largest organ in the body, which is our skin. The skin is considered the third kidney, because it expels toxins which is why you want to keep it in good working order. Keep your skin properly functioning by using a stiff natural bristle brush to exfoliate dead cells. This process will allow your pores to breathe and eliminate properly. Another popular way of removing dead cells and promoting skin health is do a sugar or salt scrub at your local spa. While there, you may want to relax in the sauna or steam room to perspire toxins out of your body and Epsom Salt Bath along with sea salt and pure essential oils is a relaxing way to draw toxins out of your body. A number of manufacturers sell prepackaged mixtures that you can add to your bath water and they can be found online or at natural food stores. If you would like to learn more about detoxification and the natural living lifestyle, you can read this informative book 'The Beginner's Guide to Natural Living'.
