Natural Japanese Skincare - This Secret Ingredient Comes From the Sea

Have you ever wondered what the Japanese do differently than we in the West that makes their skin look so youthful? There are many answers to that, but in this article I will present to you one secret the Japanese use that you will not know yet! And believe it or not, it comes from the sea.In detail, it comes from the Japanese sea and it's called Wakame and it is a sea kelp. This kelp is widely respected by the Japanese people for its ability to keep the body and skin looking and feeling full of energy. In Japan it is eaten daily, both fresh and dried. It is abundant in antioxidants and minerals, and has lots and lots of calcium. It is also used in natural Japanese skincare products as well. In fact, it's been used in skin care for hundreds of years!The part used in natural Japanese skincare is actually called Phytessence wakame and its been derived from the sea kelp. This substance is especially rich in antioxidants, vitamins of the B-group, and minerals: not only calcium, but also iron and potassium.But what can Phytessence wakame do for you?First of all, it's very good for dry and irritated skin. Due to its amazing mineral content it helps to keep the skin moisturized and the vitamins it contains help to soothe inflamed skin.Not only a great moisturizer, Phytessence wakame has also been proven to increase skin elasticity by boosting the levels of hyaluronic acid. What this means is that you will look younger, as hyaluron makes the skin more youthful and effectively fights wrinkles and sagging skin.Another great benefit especially for the summer is this recent research result: researchers found out that Phytessence wakame contains a substance that protects the skin against damage caused by pollution and UV rays.
To get the best results using Phytessence Wakame in skin care look for it in natural skincare products with other powerful active ingredients like Coenzyme Q10 and natural oils. My tip to you is to make sure to find a product with high amounts of this sea kelp extract in it, so it's not just a drop in an ocean in the sea of ingredients! Also make sure to stay away from substances like parabens, fragrances and mineral oil. These ingredients should not be in your skin care products, as these can harm your skin and your health.
