Hi Klevies! Have you heard about this blue-green alga that grows in the oceans of subtropical countries? Spirulina, which is often known as a superfood, has undeniable health benefits. This ingredient is often used in medicines like supplements and herbal drinks.
Not only known for its benefits for the body, it turns out that Spirulina is also well believed to be good for skin health as well. Can you guess what are the benefits we are about to mention? Let’s keep on scrolling!
According to healthline.com, Spirulina is a complete protein that contains all the essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. It is also rich in many nutrients including Vit B and iron. All these qualities make Spirulina believed to give great benefits to your skin.
Did you know that the obvious blue-green color of Spirulina is produced from active ingredients, phycocyanin? Yes, it is! Phycocyanin is known to be useful for activating antioxidant cells in the body.
Spirulina’s antioxidant content is strong enough to fight free radicals; one of the causes of human cell damage that leads to aging and increases the risk of other health conditions like cancer. Just as useful as it is to prevent signs of skin damage caused by free radicals such as fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and many other conditions, the antioxidant content in Spirulina can also brighten up dull skin appearance.
Spirulina contains a lot of essential amino acids that support collagen production in the body which keeps the skin firm, supple and healthy. So, it is not a new thing that many beauty and health products mentioned Spirulina as their ultimate collagen boosters.
Not only that, Spirulina also has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects that work to heal several skin conditions like acne and eczema. The antioxidant and anti-microbial content in Spirulina is also considered to be a better solution than antibiotics to treat several skin conditions since it has a lower rate of side effects.
For Klevies who have problems with some skin conditions, especially acne, consider using products that contain Spirulina can be a good alternative for your skin treatment. Worry no more! Because you can easily find skincare products with Spirulina as their main ingredient.
