Sea Salt Protein Detox

While there are many different ways to lose or control your weight, detox is one of the better, healthier ways to shed a few pounds. Detox allows you to cleanse your body of toxins, keeping your body healthy and allowing your digestive system to function at a better rate.

  1. What a Sea Salt and Protein Detox Does

    • A sea salt and protein detox routine, sometimes referred to as a SoCal Cleanse, will rid your body of toxic substances while helping to reverse damage done by toxins such as pollution and free radicals to your skin. In order to gain the most benefit from a sea salt and protein detox you must not only drink the recommended combination of protein powder with a little sea salt but also use a sea salt scrub in the shower or bath on your skin. The combination treats both inner and outer body.

    Preparing Your Detox

    • Prior to any detox, you should drink plenty of water in order to keep yourself hydrated during and after the detox. You can purchase both sea salt body scrubs and protein-sea salt detox treatments at health food stores or over the Internet. You can also create your own at home by purchasing a protein powder, available from pharmacies, grocery stores, as well as health food stores, and combining it with sea salt. To make the detox drink, mix two scoops or tablespoons of protein powder in 8 oz. to 12 oz. of water followed with a pinch of the sea salt. Protein powder comes in many flavors so you can choose one that suits your taste. Mixing the powder with water creates a better detox drink, though it may not taste great. You can solve this by substituting milk or soy milk for the water. Be careful not to add more than a very small amount--no more than you can pinch between two fingers--of sea salt to your drink, as it is used as a laxative and could cause stomach upset if consumed in too high a dosage. Drink 32 ounces of the mixture in one day, in as short a period as you can. Do not repeat this for at least two weeks. In addition to being able to create your own detox drink you can also create your own detox scrub by combining sea salt with your favorite bath or essential oil. Make sure to store the unused portion in an airtight container until needed. You can take this detox bath or use the sea salt scrub as a soak while in the bathtub as often as you like, though you should definitely use it the day before, the day of, and the day after your sea salt protein liquid detox.

    After the Detox Treatment

    • After you have completed the detox, make sure to drink plenty of water and use a body lotion. It is important to keep both your skin and your body hydrated. Using an organic lotion or one that is unscented and made for sensitive skin will work best to keep your skin from becoming polluted with toxins immediately. To allow your body time to rest between treatments, allow a minimum of two weeks between detox drink treatments.
