Skin Detox – Vinegar, Salt & Soda & Hydrogen Peroxide Baths

A skin detox can help if your skin breaks out in spots or if you get some irritation during a detox program.  Skin is one of the major routes of detoxification. Taking one of these skin detox baths can help draw out more toxins from just below the surface.

A warm bath is an ideal way to relax as well as help skin detox.   Rest and relaxation is a big part of any detox program. So take some time out and treat yourself to one of these beneficial skin detox baths.

Vinegar Bath

The vinegar bath is a good way to restore the proper pH to the skin. This can be particularly beneficial at times of skin irritation or eruptions during detox.

Add 2 cups of organic apple cider vinegar to a warm bath and soak for 20 minutes then shower off using a natural organic soap or shower gel.  Use a natural cotton towel to dry yourself.

Hydrogen Peroxide Bath

It is believed that this is one way of getting oxygen into the body. Many people report improved energy and well-being after using these.

Add 1 cup of 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H202)  Take great care when using this as it can cause burning of the eyes or skin if you splash yourself with the neat solution. Wash off splashes
of neat H202 immediately. It will turn the skin white for a few minutes but will disappear.

Soak in the bath for 20 minutes ideally soaking your face and head in it too.

Salt and Soda Bath

It is believed that this bath is helpful for dealing with radiation after air travel or X-ray.  It can be used if you feel you are coming down with a cold as well as part of a detox program.

Add 2lbs rock salt and 2lbs Baking Soda to a warm bath and soak for 20 minutes then shower off.  Don’t forget to wash the towels frequently as they may contain toxins.

Avoid putting any chemical skin products on your skin after the skin detox baths. You don’t want to add any more toxins. There are so many natural and organic skin care products around now we are spoilt for choice.
