This seaweed mask recipe is perfect for all skin types including aging, dry, oily, and acne prone. For thousands of years, people have been using the amazing properties of seaweed as a beauty tool to not only improve skin but also hair, nails, and overall health. Seaweed contains L-fucose which is a collagen-producing extract, making it an excellent candidate for reducing and preventing wrinkles. This is one of the reasons why seaweed masks and creams are SO expensive to purchase – they contain a ton of vitamins, minerals, and collagen-producing extracts which are crucial to healthy looking skin.
Seaweed is also packed with macro-minerals such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, copper, and over 70 trace minerals including selenium, zinc, iron, manganese, and molybdenum. All of these minerals are essential in collagen production, as well as overall skin health. If you're looking to turn back the hands of time, prevent wrinkles, get rid of acne, or just an amazing mask for amazing skin, this is your BEST bet! So save your money and make your own seaweed mask!

- 1/2 teaspoon kelp powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chlorella or Spirulina
