Welcome to another edition of SKIN TIP SUNDAY brought to you by Sweet Expressions MediSpa!
If you’ve ever stood at the edge of the ocean and felt a deep connection, it might not just be the waves or the salt breeze drawing you in. It could be your skin’s yearning for the nourishing touch of Seaweed .
The Magic of Seaweed in Skincare
Seaweed, with its playful nicknames like Algae and Kelp, is more than just a plant of the ocean. Among its 12,000 varieties (often referred to as “weeds”), only a select few hold the secrets to radiant and rejuvenated skin. These aquatic marvels are teeming with vital nutrients and minerals that can make our skin feel and look simply fabulous.

While there are countless seaweeds floating in the ocean, only six are the real champions when it comes to skincare:
- Red Algae
- Kelp
- Giant Kelp
- Sea Spaghetti
- Carrageenan
