Sea Moss for Winter Skin
Winter can be harsh for skin. Cold winds, indoor dry heat and lack of sun exposure can damage your skin making it flaky, dry and itchy. Your skin loses moisture in winter which explains excessive dryness in winter.
However, there are ways to retain skin moisture, for instance by adding sea moss to your daily routine. Aside from its health benefits, sea moss is excellent for your skin. It contains skin-protecting minerals that keep your skin hydrated and protected against dry weather.
Let's check the science.
Sea Moss Hydrates Your Skin
Sea moss contains fiber, which is a gel-like substance that locks moisture in your skin. In winters, your skin loses water due to low humidity, dry indoors and heating. Water is absolutely essential for skin hydration and smoothness.
In addition, sea moss contains polysaccharides that form a light, protective layer on your skin shielding it against dry winter air. Polysaccharides are natural skin-friendly sugars.
Sea Moss Soothes Dry and Irritated Skin
Carrageenan in sea moss calms your skin and reduces dryness and redness. Our skin is gentle and delicate, harsh winters can irritate it, especially your hands and face.
Carrageenan has soothing properties. It supports skin barrier and prevents flakiness and dryness.
Sea Moss Minerals for Healthy and Glowing Skin
Sea moss contains skin-friendly minerals such as:
-
Magnesium - which supports healthy skin cells
-
Sulfur - that keeps skin clear
-
Vitamin C - that supports collagen and keeps skin bright and firm.
Together, they work to keep your skin healthy and glowing by preventing dullness.
Sea Moss Gives Your Skin Strength & Elasticity
Your skin serves as a natural barrier. It prevents entry of germs and irritants and locks in moisture. This barrier is weather sensitive. In winters, it can weaken leading to dryness. But you can prevent this problem by starting sea moss in winters. Sea moss antioxidants strengthen your skin and help it stay elastic and flexible. Antioxidants also help defend the skin from external and environmental damage.
