Kelp Firming Face Mask
This Kelp Firming Face Mask treatment will help to soften and firm your complexion at the same time. Powdered kelp, when hydrated with yogurt or water, forms a mucilaginous (slippery and gelatinous) texture which is wonderful for the skin, soaking it with vital minerals from the sea. It has at least 14 vitamins and 18 minerals, including folate, niacin, vitamin K, calcium, zinc, potassium and manganese.
