What is the Dearist Skin Fast?
Just as we detoxify our bodies from time to time after over indulging, why not our skin? Our skin, being the largest organ we possess, is loaded every day with creams, serums, and the latest “miracle”ingredients, actives, fragrances, alcohol and more resulting in clogged and congested skin. Just like a gut cleanse where you cut out processed foods and eat foods that help you detoxify and nourish, our skin fast cuts out fragrances, colours, petrochemicals, actives, heavy emollients, but is smartly formulated with ingredients that help you nourish and heal, and not deplete your skin.
For 10 days, we invite you to forget your usual skincare routine, relying on simple products like our Pure Rose Water, Aloe Vera Gel, Sea Buckthorn Berry & Calendula Oil, and Brightening Mask to balance sebum levels and decongest. You'll continue to use your own cleanser and sunscreen.
Skin Fast helps your breathe and reset.
