ALGAE

 

The virtues

Particularly rich in trace elements and vitamins, all algae contain ten times more mineral salts than terrestrial plants: iodine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, sodium, potassium and chlorine. They have exceptional remineralizing properties that contribute to healthy skin and hair.

Recipe: Weekend masks at the sea

We will use unsalted edible seaweed available in our kitchen: kombu, wakame, funori… etc. For an immediate boost of radiance, simply add a pinch of powdered seaweed to a simple clay mask and that’s it. It is also possible to soak the Wakamé leaves for a few minutes in mineral water, then place them on the previously cleansed face in order to absorb their benefits. Wait about ten minutes before removing them and then pass a cotton ball soaked in rose water.
