“This mask increased skin hydration levels on our model from 32% to 99.9% – as measured on a Digital Moisture Monitor” (That got your attention!)
Those stats are from Base Formula, and they’re based on the results of tests on their best-selling Aloe Vera & Seaweed Gel which is an ultra-hydrating, skin conditioning treatment perfect for tackling less-than-firm skin and boosting elasticity. So this is a really interesting natural anti-ager. And look at the price (below!)
There are lots of marine nutrients here – Aloe Vera and extracts of Seaweed, Sea Lavender and Carrageen Moss, so let’s have a quick look at how each works on skin…
-
Aloe Vera is rich in proteins, collagen, elastin, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals which can help to soften and recondition the skin. Note the collagen, which is one of the most important ingredients on any product label, and keeps skin plump, healthy and “elastic”.
-
Seaweed is jam-packed with vitamins and mineral salts which help to nourish, hydrate and condition the skin. Rich in essential and non-essential amino acids which are found in the elastic fibres of the skin, it helps improve skin’s elasticity – again – as well as texture and tone.
-
Sea Lavender (love the name) is full of minerals and nutrients and is used for its skin conditioning, regenerative and antioxidant properties
-
Carrageen Moss has a softening, hydrating effect on the skin and helps to deliver nutrients deep into the epidermis (always a good thing)
This multi-purpose gel can be used as a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and as a treatment for dry and irritated skin conditions and amazingly, you can use it as an ultra-hydrating face mask which in Base Formula’s tests has been shown to boost skin hydration levels by over 200%*. So “yes” to using it as a mask!
