About The Seaweed Face & Body Scrubs

"By washing the head and hands is understood to purify the internal man, and by washing the feet is understood to purify the external." - Swedenborg. D.P. 151

The following seaweed face and body scrubs (page 15-20)are not any different from what you might be used to - except for the results - which are not like anything you have ever experienced. These light scrubs leave your skin feeling smooth, moisturized, and kissable.

Essentially seaweed without any other added ingredients delays the aging process because of the penetration of nutrients, anti-oxidants, minerals, and trace elements. The amino acids firm and renew tissues; the fatty acids increase fluidity to cellular membranes and help fight inflammation, while the beta-carotene slows the skin's aging, treats acne and irritated skin.

Then when you add the second ingredient, which is dry, such as the salt, clay, or oatmeal, to the seaweed Serum, it creates an opposite combination, which would be impossible to imitate with any other ingredient. The dry ingredient removes and draws out the impurities while the seaweed replenishes the pH balance. In the case of the oatmeal scrub, when you combine the oatmeal, especially the oatmeal milk as used here, with the seaweed Serum, the two ingredients, which are both full of good nutrients, offers a facial treatment that is pure pleasure. I hope you enjoy them!

About the Face & Body Scrubs

I have only included recipes that I have found to be perfect for mixing with seaweed Jelly on my skin. I have tried other ingredients, such as bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) with seaweed Serum as a scrub, which totally scratched and burned my face – therefore I have not included it. You know your skin best, so feel free to change these recipes - they are only meant to be examples of how to use seaweed for skin-care products.
