Aside from all the awesome health benefits listed previously, spirulina also has a ton of beauty benefits. It can help rejuvenate and repair damaged skin and give you back that healthy glow that you might be currently lacking.
One can say it as a great skincare product due to its multiple properties. Face masks are generally intended to soothe, brighten, or tone the skin. Spirulina helps with all three!
Some of Beauty Benefits of Spirulina :
- Has soothing and calming effects
- Can help eliminate acne causing bacteria
- Helps the skin store moisture (helping with skin elasticity and fine lines
- Chlorophyll helps clean the skin and strengthen tissues
- Spirulina is useful in fighting free radicals, brightening skin, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- These attributes make it a great candidate for use in a face mask
Directions :
- A basic skin-detoxing spirulina face mask can be made by simply mixing 1/2 teaspoon of spirulina with enough cooled chamomile tea or water to make a paste. This is a useful mask for when you are in a hurry or you don’t have any extra ingredients available.
- However, if you’d like to take your mask up a notch (or two), try adding activated charcoal and honey.
- Activated charcoal’s ability to draw impurities from the skin makes this mask extremely cleansing and purifying.
- Honey adds more soothing and softening power.
- When creating a mask with honey, use raw honey if possible. Raw honey contains enzymes which are beneficial in boosting the complexion. The antibacterial nature of raw honey is also thought to aid in treating and healing acne.
- As you can see, combining these three ingredients creates a powerful mask that’s deeply detoxifying.
- Follow up with a toner and moisturizer.
- For optimal results this mask can be done 2-3 times per week
So, all you beautiful ladies and gentlemen what are you waiting for, go and try it out.
