Episode #1: Resetting the Counters to Zero – Your 2020 Detox Guide for Radiant Skin and Energy

2020 is the year of beauty—or nothing at all! After a festive holiday season, January calls for sweetness, calm, and renewal. Think of it as resetting the counters to zero: recharge, cocoon, and prepare to conquer the year ahead. Rest assured, we skip rigid resolutions here—these habits are year-round essentials. Prioritize joy, guilt-free indulgence, and true well-being.

To launch 2020 strong, dive into this three-part episode series packed with food, lifestyle, and beauty inspirations for detox and vitality.

Here's to an exceptional year ahead!

Fasting and Monodiets: The Ultimate Reset

Your skin mirrors your diet and lifestyle. Holiday indulgences can lead to dullness, irregularities, or imperfections as toxins build up. Intermittent fasting or a monodiet gently supports detoxification without extreme deprivation, boosting energy, radiance, and digestion.

A monodiet means consuming just one raw food—like grapes or apples—for 1-3 days. Alternatively, try a 1-5 day juice cleanse with cold-pressed options, such as those from Atelier Nubio. Tailor it to your needs: one day weekly or per meal. Intermittent fasting offers structured breaks—16 or 24 hours with only water, or 500-600 calories on two non-consecutive days weekly, as outlined by expert Claire Andréewitch in Révéléz votre glow (Marabout).

Top Detox Superfoods

Target elimination with these seasonal, nutrient-dense stars—raw or cooked veggies lead the way:

  • Water: Essential for hydration, digestion, and plump skin.
  • Lemon: Detoxifies and breaks down fats.
  • Kiwi: Anti-aging powerhouse for smooth transit.
  • Artichoke: Clears fats and toxins.
  • Activated charcoal: Absorbs impurities.
  • Ginger: Antioxidant immunity booster.
  • Carrot: Fights oxidative stress.
  • Beets: Potent antioxidants.
  • Herbs: Rosemary, thyme, or mint for extra detox power.
