Derm-Align-Detox™ To Reduce Inflammation & Beautiful Skin

Is your skin looking dull and aged? 

Then you are in need of a reboot or a quick detox.  Our Derm-Align Detox™ will take your wellbeing to the next level from the inside out. Your skin will perform optimally once you clean out the clutter of your dietary life. Think of this as a way to transform your taste buds, digestion, and nutrition assimilation to better feed your skin cells. This means better looking skin and less inflammation. Even just doing this for a few days, or one day a week, will help to adjust your biology and as well as your attitude toward food.

Here's the Rundown for the dietary cleanse: 

• 4-7 days in duration.
• Use only organic foods.
• Drink 12oz water upon waking. Try warm water with lemon.  
• Fasting with nothing other than water from 7pm-7am, or a 12- hour window after finishing your last smoothie of the day. 
• Drink 100 oz of water with lemon daily

• DO NOT exercise other than walking, light stretching, or rebounding during the cleanse period. Exercise produces lactic acid and will interfere with the detox process. Because your calorie consumption will be low, heavier exercise could cause muscle breakdown. 
• Use a heavy-duty blender such as Vitamix, Ninja, Blendtec or Nutribullet to prepare your smoothies.
