It moisturizes the skin and makes it supple, radiant, and well-hydrated. In addition, it has incredible anti-aging properties as well. As you age, so does your skin.

As a result, you give off an aged vibe.  

The bioactive compounds present in the skin such as carotenoids, phycoerythrin, and porphyrans can modulate skin aging pathways by reducing stress-induced cell damage and age-dependent degeneration of proteins.
