DIY Spirulina Face Mask

IMG_5328_zpsd413f47c


 

Beauty Benefits of Spirulina:

  • It is one of the richest sources of antioxidants.

  • It contains chlorophyll, which helps cleans the skin and strengthen tissues.

  • Helps the skin store moisture, which will help with elasticity and fine lines.

  • It has soothing and calming effects, which are great if you have rosacea or sensitive skin.

  • Can help eliminate acne causing bacteria.


What you need:

  • 1/4 tsp of spirulina powder *

  • a few drops of filtered water


*You can find spirulina at your local natural grocery store. I purchase mine from the bulk section and get just a little bit at a time.  You can also get it in tablet form (you would crush up the tablets).

Directions:

  1. Mix about 1/4 tsp of spirulina with a few drops of filtered water until you have a paste.

  2. Apply the mask to clean skin with a facial brush or clean fingertips.

  3. Leave on for 20 minutes and then remove with warm water and a soft facial cloth.

  4. Follow up with a toner and moisturizer.


For optimal results this mask can be done 2-3 times per week.
