The Benefits of Kelp Powder
Kelps correct mineral deficiencies. Helps in maintaining the proper function of all glands. Helps prevent osteoporosis, as well as being beneficial for those suffering from impotence, anemia and emaciation. Kelp also helps to detoxify the body.
Here are two recipes to make in your own home to introduce your body to the benefits of kelp.
1. Kelp Facial Mask
You will need:
• 1 tablespoons dried kelp power (can be found at any health food store)
• 1 tablespoons white kaolin clay (can be found at any health food store as well)
• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt or evens sour cream will work (make sure it’s all-natural and organic)
In a medium bowl, mix the dried kelp and white kaolin clay together. If you own a sifter that will work best to make sure the powders are completely combined. Add the sour cream or plain yogurt to the powder mixture to create a smooth paste, making sure all lumps are removed. If the mixture is too thick add a bit of water, if it’s too thin add more powder mixture.
To sue, spread onto clean skin and wait 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing it off completely with warm water. Follow up with facial moisturizer or natural facial oil.
2. Sea Mud Body Mask
You will need:
• 1/2 cup powdered clay
• 1/2 cup aloe vera gel
• 1/4 cup powdered kelp
• 1/4 cup seawater (you can create this on your own if you don’t have access to ocean water by mixing sea salt with some distilled water)
Mix together the ingredients to form a smooth paste, make sure all the lumps are out of the mixture. Spread the mud over your face and body parts that you are wanting to smooth out. You can even stand in the shower and coat your entire body with the mud. If you use a medium paint brush it makes the mud go on the body more smoothly.
Allow the mud to dry for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Shower with luke-warm water and remove the mud completely. Pat your skin dry, don’t rub. Follow with a moisturizer, such as cocoa butter or all natural moisturizer of your choice.
