Seaweed offers many health benefits. One of the ways it can be used is in caring for our skin.
Here are five ways to look after your skin using seaweed.
Protection
The Essential Fatty Acids in seaweed actively help to maintain skins natural barrier function, whilst acting as an emollient that protects the skin from water loss. This means the deeper layers of your skin are looked after by the barrier layer, resulting in skin that maintains its natural healthy glow.
Healing
The minerals in seaweed such as Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium & Iodine naturally help to reduce redness in sensitive skin conditions, such as Eczema, Psoriasis & Rosacea. This means that skin is supported in its natural healing processes, to help with happier skin.
Anti-aging
The Amino acids & antioxidants in seaweed help to promote Collagen production in the skin leaving skin brighter, younger, plumper & fresher looking. Collagen is a fundamental building block of our skin, and is therefore essential to our skin's natural, healthy glow.
Brightening
Seaweed helps with hyperpigmentation, brown spots & regulates oil production, balancing & calming the skin. This leads to brighter healthier skin.
Moisturising
Polysaccarides in seaweed, lock in moisture & have shown to have a greater hydrating effect than Hyaluronic Acid, which is amazing!
