Seaweed

I always knew seaweed was good for the skin. It contains calcium and other minerals according to my mother and aunts. So eating lots of them was always a yes-yes. It’s real good if you buy those seaweed (Nori) packets and eat them with rice. Mmmmm.
Browsing through the July 2007 issue of Lucky, the featured secret ingredient for the month was Seaweed. From candles to foundation, they featured products that contained the powerful ingredient. Seaweed as Lucky writer, Dawn Spinner explains, filters in hundred of gallons of water daily, leaving the seaweed to soak up minerals like zinc, selenium, and magnesium, and synthesizes at least a dozen vitamins (a dozen vitamins!! No need for Centrum?), seaweed is then one of the most nutrient-rich substances on earth. In products, it restores both skin and hair, and also your inner spirit since it has a subtle, calming marine scent. Here is the list of products featured and I’ve added their links (either click on the name of the product or the picture of the product), in case you’d like to read for yourself what these products are made of and if you’d like to buy them yourself. Enjoy.
