I was told that if i detox/decongest my liver that i’ll have clearer skin because the skin is a major outlet of everything else that is going on in your body.Right now i’m doing a colon cleanse kit.I just started.Will this interfere with naturally cleansing my liver or can i continue to take them?So how can i naturally detoxify my liver for clearer skin and overall well being?

I’m sorry to be a downer, but the alternative medicine claims that your body needs "detox" are false. Your liver is incredibly efficient at removing things that shouldn’t be there. You don’t need anything special to remove things.
Drink lots of water. You don’t need to drink aloe juice, and colon cleansing can be dangerous to the bacterial flora in your intestines. I wouldn’t recommend it.
You should see a dermatologist if you want to help clear your skin up. I went through about 15 prescription medicines that did nothing until I got Accutane, which worked perfectly. Each person is a little different.
"detoxify" and "detox" are scam words that mean absolutely nothing.
"the skin is a major outlet of everything else that is going on in your body" …….no it’s not! Very rarely a change in skin colour can indicate problems, but only in very specific cases.
You are reading quite a lot of nonsense from somewhere, that ‘colon cleanse kit’ is similarly completely useless.
I suggest you read some good books on human health and watch out for scams. The site below will help you spot some of the more obvious ones.
Milk Thistle extract, i used one called Super Thistlelin Plus, a 30 day one that I followed for about 14 days. You might find an herbal tea formula if you like teas, since you need to drink at least 3 a day for an effect, but milk thistle tea, astralagus root, stinging nettle, dandelion leaves. none of those taste good, so best if you find a combo with some strong cinnamon to cover up the taste. Drink plenty of water. Since the liver processes the hormones in your body, sometimes kickstarting the liver with a cleanse can help it work more efficiently, if it is sluggish it might recycle some hormones before getting rid of them, and hormones play a large role in skin problems. When I did this I had a horrible flare up of my dermatitis herpetiformis on my cheeks jaw and neck, and then they went away. This was nice, since they had been there for almost a year.
