Seaweed (Kelp) Powder by La Lune Naturals + Giveaway


#lalunenaturals
I got the opportunity to try out this Seaweed (Kelp) Powder by La Lune Naturals recently. I was very eager to try it for skincare purposes.

According to the company's website "seaweed contains fatty acids to combat skin irritation and inflammation; and may assist with skin ailments such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. Organic Seaweed Powder is a rich source of organic proteins, minerals and vitamins including vitamins B12 (not found in land plants), vitamin E, and other nutrients. When applied to the skin, Seaweed treatments act as a powerful detoxifier that draws out toxins and impurities while adding beneficial nutrients. It is said to have antioxidant properties that help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and it can be used to stimulate the body’s circulation which helps to minimize cellulite while infusing the skin with moisture for a healthy glowing skin."

As you can see, seaweed can be very beneficial to the skin which is why I wanted to try it out. I used a recipe I found on Pinterest to make a facial mask. I used 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of seaweed powder and 1/2 tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel and mixed it all together to make a paste. The paste was a bit thick so I added just a little bit of water to make it into the consistency that I preferred.

I applied the paste in a thick layer all over my face. I actually put way too much on my face and it was very hard to wash off. I let it sit for about 10-15 as suggested and then washed it off. My face felt smooth and refreshed!

This is something that I would do maybe once a week for a glowing complexion.

The smell of the seaweed was a bit strong in my opinion. It smelled a bit fishy like a stagnant ocean pool. Other than that, I am happy with the results that I got while using this product.

If you would like to learn more about it you can find it on the company's website here. This product is also available on Amazon and can be purchased for $14.99.

Disclosure:  I received the above mentioned product for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions stated are my own.
