Me Mine Make Me Fresh Bubble Bath Oil, (www.memine.net) contains ingredients of grapefruit, rosemary and seaweed for a perfect detox, while easing congestion and improving skin texture. Alternatively, Virgin Vie Floatation Bath Detox Mineral Salts, (0845 300 8022 or visit www.virgincosmetics.com), contains therapeutic algae and will turn your bath into an aquamarine pool of detox heaven; simply lie back, relax and enjoy the floatation-style treatment.

Polish skin and boost circulation with Virgin Vie Massage Buff & Polish Salt Scrub, which also boosts your senses thanks to added May Chang essential oil.

Once you've dragged yourself out of the tub, spritz on Sanctuary Detox Dry Oil Spray, a light, easily absorbed dry oil moisturiser containing organic olive oil, vitamin E and marine extract.

Or leave your detoxing to the experts at Champneys Henlow (08703 300 300), and book a Wax Bath, perfect for helping with water retention and excess bloating, warm paraffin wax is applied to your body, and blankets are wrapped around you to retain temperature and body heat. As you relax, the wax softens dead cells and in turn helps draw out excess fluid, resulting in softer, smoother skin.

Tress success
Increased use of styling products, heated appliances and constant exposure to smoky or centrally heated environments means that your hair can benefit from a detox, too.

"After the excesses of the party season, your hair may be suffering from product build-up," comments Sascha Breuer, Silvikrin Style Consultant. "So give it a pampering treat: use a deep cleansing shampoo, and for an even deeper cleanse and squeaky-clean results, start by working the shampoo into dry hair, massage, comb through and rinse. Follow with a second shampoo on wet hair, massage and rinse."

Try Wella Lifetex Extra Rich Nutrition Shampoo, (0800 328 3400 or www.salonfinder.co.uk), which is ideal for damaged hair as a result of overstyling, or Aveda Hair Detoxifier, which organically removes chlorine, environmental pollutants and product build-up.

Apple Cider has long been known in the south of France to naturally rid hair of impurities and leave it super-shiny; try Frederick Fekkai Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo, and Frederick Fekkai Apple Cider Clearing Rinse, (available from SpaceNK; call 020 8740 2085).
