Contains anti-inflammatory

Seaweed is a powerful anti-inflammatory and can help reduce inflammation caused by acne.

Helps prevent rosacea

Apart from reducing acne inflammation, seaweed can also help keep skin conditions like rosacea under control. This is due to the rich content of B vitamins and anti-inflammatory properties in seaweed.

Exfoliate and Detoxify the Skin

Seaweed can also be used as an exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and toxins on the surface of the skin. To maximize the exfoliating and detoxifying benefits of seaweed, try adding sea salt and seaweed marinade while you are soaking.

Increase collagen production

Seaweed provides many anti-aging benefits and can make skin look younger. Its rich vitamin C content increases collagen production and can help keep skin youthful.

Brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation
