Marine cosmetics. What algae to look for in cosmetics

9 chosen

Life originated in water, and it is in water, in the depths of the sea, that cosmetologists still draw their inspiration to create new “potions” to maintain and preserve youth and beauty.

Marine collagen

Marine collagen is incredibly close in structure to human collagen. This is the secret of the effectiveness of using beauty products that contain this component.

Marine collagen instantly moisturizes and replaces lost amino acids. In addition to moisturizing, collagen nourishes and promotes skin regeneration, keeping it youthful.

Using cosmetic products with marine collagen will also help in the process of losing weight. Marine collagen does an excellent job of removing stretch marks, including existing ones.

Seaweed

A scientifically documented fact: the beneficial substances and microelements contained in algae are almost 100% absorbed by the human body. Unique seaweed is not contraindicated even for children and pregnant women.

The range of uses of seaweed is so wide that it is hardly possible to cover it entirely. Algae are indispensable for detoxification and weight loss, maintaining youthful skin and getting rid of cellulite. They improve metabolism and boost immunity, and finally relieve the feeling of chronic fatigue. A bath with seaweed will instantly drive away the autumn blues.

Sea salt

Sea salt is enemy number 1 for cellulite and sagging body skin. A sea salt scrub combined with daily moisturizing will noticeably tighten your silhouette in just a few weeks.

Cellulite, whatever its main cause, appears as a result of the accumulation of excess fluid in the intercellular space. Sea salt “absorbs” excess water, removing swelling and smoothing the skin.

Facial and body products containing antioxidants, algae and sea extracts will help you get in the mood for relaxation. This is a great way to spend a day off and have a home SPA! We have prepared a selection of products for the face, hair and body that will help you look fresh and rested, like after a week at the seaside.

ABOUT THE COMPONENTS

Algae is a very physiological product for the skin. Their composition is as close as possible to the composition of human blood plasma. This makes algae as beneficial for the skin as possible and minimizes the risk of negative reactions.

Algae are brown, red and blue-green. About 40 types of algae are used in cosmetics and are used for salon treatments and in cosmetics for the face and body. Cosmetics based on marine components restore and are suitable for any skin type, including very sensitive ones.

If we believe that our ancestors came from the ocean, it becomes clear why marine organisms are very similar in composition to human blood. Then the question of why cosmetics based on oceanic ingredients are making a splash will simply not arise.

dermatologist

The depths of the sea still keep many secrets. To date, biologists have studied only 30% of the ocean flora and fauna, so all discoveries are yet to come. But the data obtained is quite enough for cosmetologists to safely say: marine components are very often more effective than plant ones. The first place among them is occupied by algae, but red caviar, fish skin, crustacean shells, mollusks, mussels and pearls are also capable of much.

Same blood

In terms of the quantity and quality of micro- and macroelements, the composition of seaweed is similar to the composition of human blood, which makes it possible to look at them as a source of a ready-made and balanced cocktail of substances necessary for our body. It’s not for nothing that in ancient times, fishermen off the coast of Brittany wrapped each other in seaweed from head to toe in order to quickly restore strength during illness. In cosmetology, especially in thalassotherapy, about 30 varieties of seaweed are used today, most often kelp, fucus and ascophyllum. They contain a whole range of substances necessary for any skin. The multifaceted properties of brown seaweed are due to a rich set of microelements, which stimulates cell activity, mineral salts restore skin balance, amino acids nourish it and supply it with energy. The high content of unsaturated fatty acids of the omega-3 type is invaluable, restoring the structure of collagen - a fibrillar protein of connective tissue that determines the elasticity of the skin.

Marine formula

Marine collagen is so called because it is extracted in a special way from the skin, bones and scales of marine fish. It contains 9 out of 10 amino acids necessary for the body. And marine collagen peptides, well “purified” and processed using special technology, have high bioavailability: our skin absorbs and assimilates them perfectly. All this helps to achieve a good anti-aging effect. Creams with marine collagen smooth and tighten the skin, increasing its elasticity from the inside.

Rich formula

Living on land, we have long been accustomed to herbal cosmetics. But this is not a reason to give it preference over the sea one. Those substances that are present in plants are also found in seafood, but in higher concentrations; This is especially true for the iconic omega-3 acid. There are also unique substances in the ocean that simply cannot be found on the shore. Marine “endemics,” for example, include complex carbohydrates that are beneficial for the skin – alginates and carrageenans.

Valuable powder

Sea shells are used to make powder for dermabrasion - deep mechanical peeling. Crushed corals are used for more gentle exfoliating treatments. Mother of pearl powder is a common component in body lotions and powders that add radiance. It is curious that in Arab countries it is still used to protect the skin from sunburn. Shining on the skin, particles of mother-of-pearl reflect ultraviolet light.

Precious placer

Pearls are valued not only by jewelers. Recently, many cosmetics manufacturers have paid attention to the natural properties of this “sea stone”. Pearl powder began to be added to creams that rejuvenate the skin and increase its elasticity. Pearls are used in different types. It’s great if the product contains exactly “pearl powder”: this means that the stones have not been subjected to chemical treatment. But hydrolysates (in the list of components they are often referred to as “pearl proteins”) may be less useful - the concentration of nutrients in them is lower.

Durable shell

From the shell of the Far Eastern and Alaskan crab, scientists learned to extract the extremely valuable component chitosan, from which they then isolated special oligosaccharides. These bioactive substances are already called the medicine of the 21st century. Chitosan oligosaccharides are able to attach to themselves and remove toxins, radioactive substances, and excess fat from the body. In addition, they “trigger” immune reactions, have antitumor activity, and reduce blood cholesterol levels. In medicine, chitosan is used as a wound healing and anti-burn agent; Its antibacterial properties have already been discovered. Of course, such a valuable component is also used in cosmetology. Hair dyes, masks, creams, therapeutic and preventive products for our curls, skin and nails with chitosan are no longer uncommon.

The concentration of useful substances, especially salts, in the waters of the Dead Sea is much higher than in all other marine and even oceanic waters.

Face in the dirt

Biologists still do not understand why the Dead Sea mud can do so many things. But it is known that the structure of this substance is truly unique. It is believed that our body reacts so favorably to it due to the presence of bromide and sulfate compounds in its composition, which are present in human blood serum and lymphatic fluid. All these necessary components, once in the bloodstream, bring great benefits and heal not only the skin. We can talk for a long time about the amazing properties of Dead Sea mud. It accelerates metabolic processes, facilitates the supply of oxygen and delivery of nutrients to tissues, activates blood flow, renews cells and stimulates regeneration processes, increases skin turgor and tone. And this list is still incomplete.

Red and black

Cosmetic brands are increasingly offering us a new anti-aging panacea - products with red and black caviar extract. And we must give them credit: this is not a marketing ploy. We are talking about the same caviar that we are used to spreading on sandwiches. But its nutritional properties are beneficial not only for health, but also for preserving youthful skin, as well as accelerating hair growth. Cosmetics based on both types of caviar have a stimulating effect, so it can be safely prescribed to all women over 35. Its main secret is that it significantly activates the production of collagen, which allows the skin to remain smooth and elastic longer. In addition, the minerals and vitamins contained in red caviar stimulate the regeneration of skin cells, activate metabolism and even block the action of free radicals. Add to this the property of red caviar to soften, moisturize and protect the skin from stress, and then you will understand why it is so useful to at least occasionally use red caviar for skin rejuvenation. However, due to the relatively high cost of ingredients and technology, only a few famous world brands produce it, so bold statements on the packaging should be treated objectively.

Don't be discouraged if you won't be able to hang out on the beach anytime soon. And you already want to experience the power of salt water, mud, algae, which get rid of cellulite, stretch marks, and improve skin condition... Cosmetics based on marine components will make your dream come true, and you don’t even have to leave the house to do it.

People have been exploiting the resources of the seas and oceans for many centuries in order to remain young and attractive for as long as possible. For the first time, the ancient Greeks paid attention to “seafood,” but they limited themselves to algae and dirt. Modern cosmetology takes much more from the water element. To understand how seafood can be useful for you, let’s consider each of them separately.

2. Algae.

Where is it found? In face creams, anti-cellulite body products - it is quite possible that you have been using this “seafood” for a long time. In addition, cosmetologists offer many procedures that use algae wraps.

How is it useful? Most often, extracts of three algae are added to creams - spirulina, fucus and kelp. Spirulina is rich in vitamin A, which significantly slows down the aging process. In combination with microelements, which are abundant in any marine component, this vitamin improves the structure of the skin, making it more elastic and firm. Fucus is loved by the cosmetics industry for its ability to activate the removal of toxins at the cellular level. And kelp is present in the vast majority of weight loss products, which is not surprising, because it regulates the process of accumulation of fat deposits.

How to use? Cosmetics with algae extracts can be used daily. However, wraps where marine plants are present in their pure form cannot be done more than two or three times a month due to the possible oversaturation of the skin with beneficial microelements.

EXPERT COMMENT: Today there are a lot of products based on seafood. With their help you can solve almost any cosmetic problem. Need to fix a flaw in your appearance? Please, just select the appropriate drug. For example, if you need to make your waist and hips a little narrower, and at the same time reduce the appearance of cellulite in these areas, it is best to use a seaweed wrap. In salons, and even at home, you can make two types of wraps: hot and cold. Both procedures have both indications and contraindications. Hot wrap is recommended for the prevention and elimination of all stages of cellulite, reducing volume, activating lipolysis processes, restoring blood circulation, cleansing the body of toxins and waste, restoring skin elasticity and saturating it with minerals. However, for varicose veins, hot procedures are contraindicated. In this case, cold wraps will help - they will not only even out cellulite, but also get rid of swelling.

TRIO FOR BEAUTY: As a rule, several underwater plants are used for algae wrapping: acting in conjunction, they enhance each other’s properties. For example, the popular “three seaweed” wrap uses fucus, kelp and lithothamnium calcareum. The action of this trio allows you to lose weight by 2-3 cm in one procedure, and a course of five procedures will give about 8 cm, because such a wrap simultaneously tightens the skin, breaks down lipids and detoxifies. Before the procedure, it is recommended to take a shower and then do a salt peeling. Next, a mixture of algae is applied to the body and covered with a thermal blanket for 30-40 minutes. The procedure ends with a shower. The effect of the course of wraps will last approximately four to six months.

3. Sea salt.

Where is it found? In peelings, scrubs, bath mixtures.

How is it useful? Salt scrubs are healthier than peels prepared, for example, from ground nut shells: they not only remove dead cells from the skin, but also saturate it with essential microelements. In addition, salt makes the epidermis more resistant to aggressive environments. After sea scrubs, creams usually turn out to be much more effective, since a well-cleaned dermis is able to absorb the maximum of useful substances from a cosmetic product. As for bath salt mixtures, they relax not only the body, but also the soul. Depending on the degree of salt concentration in the water, such baths calm the nerves, improve sleep, relieve muscle tension, eliminate pain and, most importantly, speed up metabolism, promoting weight loss.

How to use? You can cleanse your body with salt scrubs once every two weeks and for no longer than 10 minutes. Facial peels are used more often, once a week, but only for two to three minutes. It is recommended to take baths with salt every other day, for 10-15 minutes.

4. Dead Sea water.

Where is it found? In clinics, health centers and sanatoriums, where there are special baths with sea water.

How is it useful? The water of the Dead Sea looks not so much like water, but like a thick oily liquid, literally oversaturated with salts. After the first bath, the skin becomes smooth, small wounds heal, calluses soften, nails stop breaking, and hair begins to grow faster. The waters of other seas are less concentrated, which means they give a less noticeable cosmetic effect.

How to use? You can take baths with sea water at least every day, but no longer than 10-15 minutes.

INTO THE DEEP OF THE OCEAN

ADD 5 drops of tea tree essential oil and 5 drops of lemon balm to 500 g of sea salt. Set the salt aside for 15 minutes to allow the oils to be absorbed. FILL the bath with warm water (40-45 °C) and dissolve the prepared salt in it. Take a bath for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off in the shower, dry yourself with a towel and apply moisturizer to your skin.4

5. Mud and clay.

Where is it found? Most often, cosmetic masks are made from them. In addition, you can buy inexpensive powdered sea mud at the pharmacy, and it is easy to purchase it in its natural form in specialized stores.

How is it useful? The properties of clay depend on its color, and the properties of mud depend on its location. The most beneficial muds come from the Dead Sea - they best solve skin problems: nourish, moisturize and even treat various dermatological diseases. The second place is occupied by mud from the Atlantic Ocean, especially from the French coast. Their main advantage is increased lymphatic drainage and rapid removal of excess fluid from the body. In third place are our local muds extracted from the Black Sea. They stimulate the immune system.

Clay has more colors than the rainbow - eight, and each shade has its own beneficial properties. White clay tightens pores and removes shine, so it is recommended for people with oily skin. Gray, on the contrary, moisturizes and is therefore considered ideal for dry skin. Blue clay helps get rid of wrinkles and stimulates collagen production. Yellow helps remove toxins and refreshes skin color. Red relieves irritation. Pink strengthens brittle nails and hair. Green clay is useful for those who want to get rid of dandruff. And finally, black is indispensable in the fight against cellulite and excess weight.

How to use? The mud is applied to the body with a spatula from the bottom up, from the legs to the shoulders, without the need for massage. The higher the ambient temperature, the faster the composition must be washed off. If you applied it in the bath (which is very useful), take a shower after 15 minutes; If you use mud at room temperature, wash it off after an hour. Remember that you need to use clay, as well as cosmetics based on body mud, no more than twice a month: they intensively nourish the skin with beneficial microelements, and with more frequent use, oversaturation of the epidermis may occur, which will lead to itching, redness and allergies. Have you decided to apply the composition to your face? Please note that two types of masks are suitable: cleansing and moisturizing. After spreading over the skin, they are left for 10-15 minutes. The procedure is carried out once or twice a week. And please note: cleansing and moisturizing formulations cannot be used in a row - this can also lead to oversaturation of the skin.

DIRTY THING - IF CELLULITE BUMPLES IRRITATE, PREPARE A MASK.

TAKE 500 g of black pharmaceutical clay, dilute it with warm water to the consistency of thick sour cream and add 1-2 tbsp. l. liquid honey or olive oil. RINSE your body and rub problem areas with a stiff mitt. Distribute the mixture evenly over the lumpy areas and wrap with cling film on top. Lie down, wrapped in a blanket, or, putting on warm pants, go about your household chores. Wash off the mask after 30-40 minutes.

6. Caviar extract.

Where is it found? In anti-aging cosmetics.

How is it useful? Caviar is a powerful rejuvenating concentrate: it is rich in vitamins A, D, E and C, microelements, proteins and phospholipids. Phospholipids help moisturize the skin, make it smooth, proteins increase elasticity. Caviar seems to awaken the skin, restarting cell regeneration processes. Rejuvenation begins from the inside: the oval of the face and body contours become clearer, wrinkles are smoothed out.

How to use? Experts advise using cosmetics with caviar extracts daily after 30 years. According to various studies, this helps delay the appearance of deep wrinkles by five to seven years.

7. Pearls.

Where is it found? In nourishing creams for face and body.

How is it useful? Postpones old age. We begin to fade at the moment when the processes of epidermis renewal slow down. Pearl contains amino acids that regulate regeneration processes, accelerating them if necessary. Cosmetics with pearls do not scratch the face, as many people think. This ingredient is finely ground so much that it easily penetrates the skin.

How to use? According to the instructions that are always included with any cream with pearls.

8. Fish oil.

Where is it found? In hair masks and nail strengtheners.

How is it useful? Fish oil has a beneficial effect on hair and nails, stimulating their growth. The hair becomes thicker, the hair becomes thicker and more elastic, the nails stop peeling and breaking.

How to use? Do not apply pure fish oil to your hair: it is very difficult to wash off, and the characteristic smell will last for a week. Hair masks with fish oil are made once a week - thoroughly rubbed into the roots (thanks to this massage, blood circulation is activated and all substances are better absorbed by the skin and hair follicles) and left for 30-40 minutes.
