Beauty products infused with elements of
the sea have a spa-like quality and boast an
abundance of skin-loving nutrients. Here are
a few of our favorites:
1Restore your skin overnight with One Love
Organics Love Springs Eternal Youth Preservation
Serum. This lightweight oil contains blue sea
kale, a marine plant that soothes and revitalizes skin,
and protein-rich sea algae, which moisturizes and
improves skin tone and firmness. Barbary fig plant
stem cells and a botanical active extracted from date
seeds plump fine lines and wrinkles.
2Relax and ease sore muscles with Farmhouse
Fresh Lemongrass Ocean Mineral Bath Soak.
Fine Atlantic sea salt and pink Himalayan and
Epsom mineral salts are scented with stress-relieving
organic green tea, lemon myrtle, rosehips, and hibiscus.
The water will feel silky and so will your skin.
3Repair, nourish, and protect your skin from the
sun with MyChelle’s Daily Defense Cream with
SPF 17. This multitasker combines a moisturizer
with sun protection. Astaxanthin from volcanic ocean
seaweed strengthens and protects skin against free
radicals, while beta-glucan from oats hydrates and
soothes, and zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum sun
protection.
4The combination of bamboo and pumice gives
Sea-el Coconut Kiwi Face Scrub its exfoliation
power. This spa-like scrub also features a mix
of skin-brightening ingredients—fermented kelp, kiwi
fruit, coconut oil, green tea powder, and avocado oil.
Use it to remove dead skin cells that clog pores and
expose new ones for a natural glow.
5Remove impurities and soften skin with
Seaweed Bath Co. Exfoliating Detox Scrub.
Organic bladderwrack seaweed naturally
detoxifies and hydrates. Antioxidant green coffee
bean extract helps detoxify. French clay draws impurities
from the skin. And walnut shells gently remove
dead skin.

eyes with Acure Brightening Eye Contour.

absorb to cool and soothe fragile skin.
