Marine plants and extracts are known for revitalising your skin.

Sea kelp may not sound particularly glamourous or appealing when it comes to beauty, but this mineral and antioxidant rich seaweed is incredibly nourishing for the skin and is used in my Sea Minerals Collection facial serums, eye creams and body butters and scrub because of its potent anti-ageing properties.

Marine plants are very resilient as they have to survive in extreme, often-changing, environments, which makes them very valuable in skincare and helps prevent damage to amino acids and protects the cell’s membrane.

This further protects against damage caused by free radicals, highly unstable molecules which accelerate the ageing process by attacking healthy cells and damaging collagen.

The extract can also ‘re-organise’ the cell membrane to reverse cell damage and restore them to their healthy state.

Sea Kelp contains acids that can bind to toxins in your body, penetrates your skin and draws out impurities.

Natural health proponents maintain that high levels of toxins in the environment overwhelm various systems in the body, including metabolic processes and the immune system.

The following details some of the healing properties of these minerals:

Magnesium: Promotes quick healing of skin tissue and provides the skin’s surface with anti-allergic elements. Also essential for cell metabolism.

Bromide: Soothes skin, relaxes body muscles, and calms nerves.Iodine: Important for the correct functioning of the thyroid gland and is aids in the body's metabolic exchanges.

Sulfur: A natural disinfectant (constituent of certain vitamins). Known as a powerful detoxifying agent, as it works closely with the liver to rid the body of toxins.

Potassium: Helps balance moisture in the skin and body, aiding in the reduction of water retention and in the nourishment of cells. Potassium also regulates the nervous system.

Calcium: An essential mineral, known to strengthen cell membranes and cleanses pores.

Sodium: Relieves stiffness and muscle cramps. Sodium is also a powerful detoxifying agent, helping cells retain nourishment and expel waste.

Zinc: When applied topically, it is known to protect the skin against sunburn and windburn. Also known to boost the immune system. Internally, it is a key factor in enzymatic regulation of cell proliferation.As you can see, these minerals play an important role in our health and provide many benefits.

These minerals have incredible properties on their own, and when combined, they are known to treat and heal many common conditions. According to Brenda Watson, author of “The Detox Strategy,” this effect is referred to as the “body burden.” She points out that high toxin levels in the body may lead to medical conditions such as allergies, fatigue and reproductive problems.

Detoxification methods such as sea kelp powder products help to remove toxins from your body and may improve overall health.

If you have dry skin or suffer with flaky patches then you should also look for skincare containing Sea Kelp Extract.
