Natural ageing is one thing, but stress and overindulgence have a very obvious effect on your skin tone and elasticity. Your skin is the second organ of detoxification after your liver, and anything your liver can't handle gets shunted there, which results in spots, dull skin, wrinkles and eye bags. Boosting your antioxidant intake is the key to this rejuvenating weekend detox. Start each day with a glass of hot water with lemon and the grated zest of an orange.

Anti-ageing detoxification is all about helping your cells remove toxins and absorb the antioxidant nutrients found in foods such as vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, oily fish, herbs and spices. These all protect your skin from the ravages of UV light, pollution, sugar, smoking and fried and processed foods. Think of increasing the antioxidant superfoods and drinks that go into your body, long-term, as an insurance policy against the signs of ageing - you'll feel younger, fresher and more vibrant.
