Sea moss promotes skin and hair health through its specific bioactive compounds. The sulfated polysaccharides promote modulations of hyaluronic acid production, which keeps the tissue hydrated. The antioxidants protect the collagen in the skin tissue from destruction. I have personally seen my clients completely change their unhealthy, dry skin and brittle hair through consistent use of sea moss. These natural processes work much better than at least 95% of the synthetic products on the market.

Use sea moss topically for potent skin benefits. Create a gel mask at 5% concentration for overnight use. Mix with aloe vera for additional soothing effects. Teaching clients to patch test it first is important. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse. Results will appear within weeks.

For hair treatments, mix sea moss gel with carrier oils. Use coconut oil as a base for deep conditioning. Apply to scalp and strands weekly. I recommend warm towel wrapping for better absorption. This reduces breakage while adding natural shine.

Ingest sea moss for its widespread effects. The benefit of the zinc and sulphur goes to the hair follicles via blood circulation. One tablespoon a day for a period of three months is advisable. The clients I have had tell me that the nails become stronger, and there is less shedding of the hair. Constant administration is the clue.

Steer clear of the common mistakes people make when applying products. Do not use undiluted gel on the skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Those with acne should choose non-comedogenic carriers. I have found success in ceasing reactions to products by switching to the base of jojoba oil. Always be concerned with the safety of the skin.
