Smooth Your Skin...With Algae

Nourish your face and body with algae, the magic ingredient in these natural skin savers.

Use Darphin Aromatic Seaweed Bath & Shower Gel (far left, $50) in the shower, and let its energizing citrus oils and moisturizing algae extract soothe dry skin.

Mineral magic
We noticed that our skin actually seemed firmer after using sea algae–enriched Kiehl’s Cryste Marine “Ultra Riche” Lifting and Firming Cream (top right, $47).

Sleeping beauty
Gently rub The Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Night Treatment (bottom right, $20) onto your face before bed, and its trace minerals and vitamin B will whip your skin into shape.

Sure, the algae in Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Relaxing Body Wash (far left, $16) hydrates your skin. But the best part is its sea scent—close your eyes, and you’re at the beach.

All clear
Pour a little algae-infused Murad Clarifying Toner (top center, $21) onto a cotton pad after cleansing your face, and watch it remove any lingering traces of dirt.

A salty treat
Massage the exfoliating sea salts and seaweed in Space NK Seaweed Body Cream (bottom right, $48) onto damp skin to smooth your parched parts.

With its skin softening blue algae and calming chamomile extract, Sue Devitt Microquatic Oxygen Infusion Masque (top, $40) is a gentle way to wash away a day’s worth of dirt and grime.

Natural night cream
An oil-free cream that contains nourishing algae extract, sea lettuce (that’s right!), and vitamins A and E, H2O Plus Night Oasis Oxygenating Rejuvenator (bottom, $36) makes it look like you got eight hours of sleep—even if you didn’t.
