Seamoss Gel Benefits for your skin…

Seamoss benefits for your skin… specifically your face

Seamoss can be added to your skincare regimen by applying seamoss gel as a mask.

1. Starting out with a cleansed face, apply 1 tbsp of seamoss gel on your face evenly massaging while applying.

2. Next allow the mask to completely air dry, letting it dry until it starts to get crackly (approx. 25min) then rinse it off with warm water

3. Pat your face dry and moisturize your face with your favorite moisturizer. I prefer a light oil like coconut oil or a dime-size amount of whipped shea butter.
   

Seamoss is high and amino acids and antioxidants that help eliminate unwanted microorganisms that lead to acne.

It is a great moisturizer; you will find that you don’t need much moisturizer after applying this mask.

Seamoss also contains collagen which helps your skin look and feel healthy.

Suggested Application Frequency: Apply the mask once a week or once every two weeks. Whatever works best for your skin type.

My Holistic Motivations: An Informative Guide to choose natural Alternatives

Let's start with a couple of questions. 

Growing up did you mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, cousin or friend use blue magic grease, Vaseline, talc powder(Johnson and Johnson baby powder), lye relaxers, curl activator, gain, tide, bleach, pine-sol, Lysol, Clorox products, douches, dove deodorant, strong smelling perfume, or strong smelling soap? 

If you answered yes to any of those questions then you're in the right place. If not still stick around to discover some tips to help transform your life into a holistic chemical free life. 

What do all of these things have in common you might ask? 

They all contain cancer cause ingredients in high enough levels that over time of use in everyday life from infancy to adult hood you will have a high risk of cell mutation. 

And here's how your skin is the largest organ on your body, and absorbs more than you might think. 

Companies knowing this fact created products that containing harmful ingredients that can be absorbed quickly in your body without any immediate ramifications or complications and that's how cancer specifically childhood and breast cancer became the trillion dollar entity it is today. 

There are products we use for everyday needs that a women of color just uses but my question to you is why have we not asked why? 

Ever wonder why there's treatment for diseases yet no preventative measures? They don't want you to know, you are more profitable sick than you are healthy. So you will be sick by any means necessary which is why the information you will read here will be overwhelming at first but by breaking your day up in sections I hope by the end you don't feel as though it's such a daunting task. But even you do at the end feel like it's a lot. I want you to know you and your health is worth the time and effort. No one can love and care for your body better than you can. 

My go to All Natural Face Mask

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup of Bentonite Clay
• Organic Apple Cider Vinegar(add one cap full until it reaches a smooth thick consistency)

Frequency

The mask should be applied once a week to once every two weeks.

* As a rule of thumb test a small part of your face first before applying to your entire face.

Keep mask on for 5 min for first timers, the mask will tingle and harden as it drys and pulls all the bacteria out of your face. It is a weird feeling that in time you'll get use to :).

I've been applying this mask for about 2 years now so I like to leave the mask on while watching a 20 min-30 min show. However, your skin sensitivity and skin type will determine how long you prefer to leave it on.
