Spirulina Skin Benefits

A natural algae known as spirulina is sweeping the skin care scene! It’s filled with protein and nutrients that are superb for making your skin look spectacular. This blue-green algae grows in both fresh water and salt water and is often used in powder form.

You can eat it for amazing healthful benefits. Simply add spirulina powder to your foods for a boost of beauty from inside out. But you’ll also love what it can do for your skin when you apply it topically. Here’s more on what you can expect from spirulina skin benefits to get your skin looking naturally fabulous.

Tones the skin

Using skincare products with spirulina helps tone the skin thanks to a hefty dose of vitamins A, B12, and E, plus calcium, phosphorous and iron. These all work together to keep free radicals from destroying skin, resulting in toned, refreshed skin that is full of life.

Gets ride of dark circles

Spirulina has a detoxifying effect, making it ideal for renewing the tender area under the eyes. It reenergizes and brightens, helping your eyes look full of life again.

Reduces the visible signs of aging

In addition to vitamin E, spirulina has tyrosine and selenium which are fantastic on battling the signs of aging. Tyrosine in particular is fabulous for slowing down aging in skin cells. Using spirulina in a face mask is the best way to penetrate the skin with these natural healthful ingredients to smooth away wrinkles and keep it soft and supple.

Amazing detoxifier

Because of the amazing natural nutrients in spirulina, it helps skin cells turnover faster which reveals fresher, more youthful skin. It also draws out toxins so skin is always free and clear, making it ideal for blemish-prone skin.

You can also find spirulina in other products for your skin. Youth To The People makes a mask with spirulina, or you can use spirulina powder mixed with enough water to form a paste for a homemade mask. Smooth it on and let it sit for 20 minutes before you wash it off.

No matter how you incorporate spirulina into your skincare routine, you’ll find that it brings about a healthful luster, fresher skin and an overall sense of well-being that you’ll notice every time you look in the mirror.
