Use of Marine Algae.
In general, marine algae are used to manufacture care cosmetics of high quality. Seaweed can be applied as a single ingredient or as a combination of several natural substances. Marine algae are believed to have the following features: they are able to regenerate epidermis, reduce visibility of wrinkles and discolourations, regulate sebum production, moisturise, protect natural lipid layer of skin, stimulate blood circulation, eliminate cellulite and contribute to collagen production. Fairly complex manner of working, isn’t it? What is more, cosmetics containing marine algae are recommended for people who experience broadly defined dermis problems, lead improper and often stressful lifestyle, are exposed to cigarette smoke or are smokers themselves. Basically, products containing marine algae can be effectively used for not only face but also body care. Nowadays, fairly popular are algae face masks. Depending on skin type, the face masks differ in terms of composition and the manner of preparation.
Conspicuous Skin Pores. You will need: a spoon of wheat flour, a spoon of natural yoghurt and a few algae crystals. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and apply on face skin. When the face mask dries out completely, it will create a kind of a hard crust. Rinse it with warm water afterwards.
Acne. In this case, you need to gather: a teaspoon of algae, a spoon of potato flour and a boiled onion. All you have to do is smash the onion and combine with the remaining ingredients. Apply the mixture on face and hold it for 30 – 45 minutes. After that, rinse the face masks with lukewarm water.
Oily and Combination Skin. Collect: two spoons of powdered marine algae, a spoon of oil and several drops of lemon juice. Mix the ingredients precisely and put on the face. Hold it for at least 10 minutes. This kind of a face mask is expected to smooth your skin, highlight it and ease all inflammations.
