The amazing properties of sea veggies are not just for boosting your nutritional profile, but have been used for centuries to nourish the skin as well.
With the combination of three natural ingredients; kelp powder, raw honey and aloe vera gel, the skin is gently refreshed and rejuvenated. Treat your face to a lift with the many minerals and antioxidants found in sea veggies, as well as the moisturizing and healing properties of honey and aloe vera.
Raw honey, kelp powder and aloe vera gel
Ingredients for a Seaweed Facial Mask:
1 tablespoon kelp powder or other seaweed powder (available in health food stores)
1½ teaspoon raw honey
1½ teaspoon aloe vera gel (at least 98% pure)
Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mix to a paste-like consistency. I find the easiest way to blend ingredients is using a fingertip. Apply to clean face. Mask will tighten while drying. After about 20 minutes, remove mask. Gently peel sections of the mask that loosen easily, being careful not to tug at skin. Remove the remaining mask with warm water and moisturize as usual.
Mask can be applied up to two times per week.
*Note: most homemade seaweed facial masks include adding about 1-2 tablespoons of warm water. I find the consistency much more manageable without this addition.
Depending on how much paste is needed to cover face, recipe may be halved. Considering the expense of the ingredients, I use the smallest amount possible.
