Sea Kelp Ultramarine

 

  This jar of lovely bubbly blue gel has to be one of my favorite Skin Actives products so far! Just looking at it is almost soothing. 

As with most of Skin Active's products, the Sea Kelp Ultramarine can also be used by male or female and anyone from children to the elderly can reap the benefits lying in the jar!

I first have to say, this is not, I repeat not your average face mask. It won't burn or irritate your skin and will not leave it as dry as the desert when it's rinsed away. 

What it will do however, is leave you with glowy, smooth, pore-reduced, firm and even skin. Not only that, but unlike your drugstore masks, the Sea Kelp Ultramarine's lovely benefits will not diminish after a few hours. Is it only me or have y'all had those results with most masks? It's like right when you rinse a mask off your face looks nice or at least better and by the time you've slept for a couple of hours your skin's right back to normal! Enlarged pores, redness, etc. I hate that!

Thankfully, you won't need to use the Sea Kelp Ultramarine daily although you certainly could. Once a week has kept my skin looking great, but I will probably use it a couple extra days this week since I've had some sort of freak breakouts suddenly. Why does it seem like I've written that sentence a lot? Maybe I have these freak breakouts more often than I though. Crap.

Anyways, what I love about the Sea Kelp Ultramarine is the cool soothing and redness, inflammation reducing properties. It's what I'll run to when my skin acts up!

You only need a small amount to totally cover your face/neck and it does not burn! I feel a little cooling, but nothing irritating. I've actually had some "mud masks" as well as others burn the skin off of my face. Really! The Sea Kelp Ultramarine cleans so deep into the pores that I could swear they feel cleaner! It tightens and closes everything up and leaves you with the nicest clean, dewy glow! A major plus, you aren't left with dried out skin.

If you've had inflammation, acne or irritation, the Sea Kelp mask works wonders. Once it has dried and you are ready for it to come off simply rinse or wipe away with a warm wash cloth! That's another thing that really impressed me. Being able to rinse it away quickly without having bits stuck all over my face was so convenient.

According to Skin Actives this works as a moisturizer too. It does in fact leave you with moisturized skin, but since it dries like a mask, I wouldn't use it as a lotion. It will peel off easily too.

The other night I was so exhausted and I had washed my face and applied the Sea Kelp Ultramarine and planned to get in the shower when it dried. I was reading and ended up passing out for several hours with the mask on. I'm not sure if leaving it on for so long helped, but I appreciated how nice my skin looked the next AM due to my crashing!

WHO, WHAT AND HOW?
The Sea Kelp Ultramarine is good for normal, oily and dry skin and combination skin. You can use it all over the body, hair, eyebrows, lashes, eyes, hands, lips, etc. I'm a little worried about using this on my eyes as It'd be a pain if it got inside and I've had terrible eye irritation lately and I'm finally getting over that. 

Another awesome thing about the Sea Kelp mask is that it can be used as a shave gel and it is paraben free so y'all paraben-haters, rejoice!

This product is supposed to be great for rosacea! You can even add water to it and turn it into a serum! In fact, I think I'll take a small amount of it and do just that. It will soften your hair and if used as a shave gel will prevent nicks and if used after shaving it'll help with irritation and redness, red bumpies! Like I said, a very soothing Skin Active product.
