What Skin Benefits Does The Ocean Have?

The sea is always ravishing in its vast and alluring beauty. The benefits of marine skincare are abundant, from anti-aging to hydrating to healing and many other immeasurable benefits. Marine water, along with the plants that grow in the ocean, has skin-enhancing qualities. The use of the marine ingredients used cosmetically in your skincare is called thalassotherapy. Thalassotherapy has been practiced for many years and works to firm your skin, making younger-looking skin easy to achieve.

Algae

Marine active ingredients include and ingredients derived from the sea, algae being one of them. Algae aids in just about any skincare concern that comes to mind. Craving moisture? Algae. Need to detox your pores? Algae. Want to soften fine lines? That's right.. Algae.

Micro-algae are exceptionally adaptable. Micro-algae have been present for more than three billion years and are invisible to the naked eye. The tiny sea plants participated in the creation of the Earth's atmosphere. They provide more than 70% of the oxygen on Earth and are among the first links in the ocean food chain. Therefore, they are the beginning of life on Earth and our skin cells' origin. During this long evolution, micro-algae has acquired exciting adaptability and resistance mechanisms. Algae have a high concentration of iodine, iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K.

The benefits? The vitamins in algae can protect your skin from sun damage and can help balance oil production. Algae moisturizes, soothes, is anti-aging since it helps to strengthen elastin and collagen production in the skin. Even in severe ocean environments, certain marine plants are especially adept at protecting themselves against UV radiation and pollution, making them ideal skincare ingredients. Algae has a mushy consistency, which means it retains a large amount of water. When it's applied to your skincare products, it will be a powerhouse ingredient for hydration. Although it may not feel pleasant when it touches your skin in the ocean, applied topically will work wonders on your skin.
