DIY Sea Moss Facial Masks
With the increasing demand for natural and organic skin care, sea moss has become very popular for its promising potential as a source of bioactive substances. In this instance, a bioactive compound is a naturally occurring chemical found in plants and foods that directly impacts living tissues, such as the skin.
Bioactive peptides are becoming increasingly popular due to their significant role as an essential component in groundbreaking and efficient skincare products. The proteins found in seaweed are significant as a source of amino acid extracts and peptides. For instance, mycosporine-like amino acids in marine algae are water-soluble substances that could exhibit antioxidant and skin-protective effects.
Moreover, when sea moss is dehydrated, washed, soaked in water, washed once more for thoroughness, and then blended, it produces a smooth sea moss gel rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. This gel delivers hydration and bioactive ingredients straight to your skin.
Here are some refreshing and revitalizing sea moss facial masks you can make at home using sea moss gel!
