Dehydration leads to terrible skin, fatigue and water retention. Flushing out toxins Brown rice and grains, as well as wholewheat foods are all great for flushing out toxins because of their fibre content. Go organic where possible, as some foods like cereals tend to be mixed with trans fats to enhance their taste, which will just make your skin worse.
