Health authorities recommend limiting alcohol intake to one drink per day for women and two for men. If you currently do not drink, it is recommended not to start as the risk outweigh any health benefits that come with drinking. (10).
Water does so much more than quench your thirst. It regulates your body temperature, lubricates joints, aids digestion and nutrient absorption, and detoxifies your body by removing waste products (22).
Your body naturally produces these molecules for cellular processes, such as digestion. However, alcohol, tobacco smoke, a low nutrient diet, and exposure to pollutants can produce excessive free radicals (33).
These molecules cause damage to a range of cells. Research suggests that free radical damage plays a role in conditions such as dementia, heart disease, liver disease, asthma, and certain types of cancer (34, 35).
Gut health is important for keeping your detoxification system healthy. Your intestinal cells have a detoxification and excretion system that protects your gut and body from harmful toxins, such as chemicals (40).
Good gut health starts with prebiotics, a type of fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut called probiotics. With prebiotics, your good bacteria can produce nutrients called short-chain fatty acids that are beneficial for health (41, 42).
Eating foods rich in prebiotics can keep your immune and detoxification systems healthy. Good food sources of prebiotics include tomatoes, artichokes, bananas, asparagus, onions, garlic, and oats (47).
Your body naturally clears itself of toxins. You can support the process and your overall health with some lifestyle practices, including avoiding or limiting alcohol, getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, and eating certain foods, among others.
Your body has a sophisticated way of eliminating toxins that involves the liver, kidneys, digestive system, skin, and lungs. Still, only when these organs are healthy can they effectively eliminate unwanted substances.
In recent years, natural remedies and "detoxification" diets have gained popularity as a quick and trendy way to eliminate toxins from your body. While some products are marketed to aid in overnight weight loss, improved digestion or enhanced energy levels, others claim to reverse years of damage to organs such as your lungs.
With a quick internet search, you can find countless products that allegedly cleanse your lungs in a matter of days. Pills, vitamins, teas, oils, salt inhalers and masks are just a few types of items marketed as cure-alls for lung damage caused by tobacco use, vaping or air pollution. But do these products really work?
Detox remedies may seem like a great concept, but unfortunately many claims made by companies selling unproven treatments are exaggerated. More concerning, they can even be harmful, particularly if the products are inhaled.
Some common ingredients in supplement-based cleanses have been shown to have positive results, such as Vitamin D, which plays an important role in boosting immune system responses and helps to reduce airway inflammation. But most of these detox products are not FDA approved and do not have adequate scientific data to recommend their use.
Here's the good news: there is a way to improve your lung health without pills and concoctions. Lungs are self-cleaning organs that will begin to heal themselves once they are no longer exposed to pollutants. The best way to ensure your lungs are healthy is by avoiding harmful toxins like cigarette smoke, vaping and air pollution, as well as getting regular exercise and eating well.

Gently massage the oil cleanser in small circular motions on dry skin. Use the detox oil on its own to cleanse skin, or follow with the cleansing bar of your choice as part of your Double Cleanse Method (recommended). Rinse skin and pat dry. Use morning and night. Specially formulated for dull, congested skin in need of a deep-clean detox.
Results
Formulated for oily skin, this purifying detox oil gently cleanses and helps protect the complexion from environmental pollutants, without leaving the skin feeling tight or dry.
Double Cleanse Method
When you use our cleansing oils with our cleansing bars, you get the perfect double cleanse. The nourishing oil grips excess skin surface oil, makeup, and other oily impurities without stripping your complexion of precious moisture. Next, the water-based bar removes any remaining residue, gently cleansing without drying.
While double cleansing has grown in popularity of late, Dr. Laszlo was the first to promote a two-step cleanse via oil and soap bar over 50 years ago. The Double Cleanse Method has been an Erno Laszlo signature offering ever since. Learn more about the Erno Laszlo Double Cleanse here.
Key Ingredients
Charcoal, Benefit: Purifying
Charcoal is known to detoxify by chemically binding to and absorbing impurities and oils from skin. When activated, its detoxifying power goes into hyper-drive as it dissolves makeup and oils on the skin's surface. Charcoal is a great way to detox oily skin.
Shea Butter Seedcake Extract, Benefit: Protecting + Soothing
Shea Butter Seedcake Extract is rich in gallic acid and epigallocatechin gallate, which both help remove toxic metals. This active helps protect against certain chemical pollutants, including nicotine, chlorine, and heavy metals from urban pollution, while also soothing and improving the appearance of tired, dull skin.
Grape Seed Oil + Olive Oil + Jojoba Oil, Benefit: Nourishing
These botanical oils serve to nourish the skin. Grape Seed Oil is rich in anti-aging compounds, including essential fatty acids, polyphenols, beta-carotene, and vitamins D, C and E. Derived from European-grown olives, the Olive Oil in this formula has been filtered and highly refined to deliver nourishing benefits. Jojoba Oil, a polyunsaturated liquid wax similar to our own skin-protecting sebum, supports skin with high oxidative stability.
