If you are overrun with body toxins, one of the first places it will show up in your skin. In addition to following my previous recommendations, you can support the liver nutritionally by taking supplements that help your body detoxify waste material.

To help your liver and body detoxify, I generally recommend using milk thistle, which both protects and helps increase liver function. The active ingredient in milk thistle is a bioflavonoid complex called silymarin. Studies have shown that silymarin can prevent damage to liver cells. It also has the unique ability to stimulate regeneration of damaged liver cells.

The best products for this purpose are concentrated extracts standardized to 70 to 80 percent silymarin content. I recommend that you take 500 mg a day.
