What is spirulina?

A blue green algae belonging to the cyanobacteria family, spirulina grows mainly in ponds, lakes and rivers.

Considered as a superfood and the best food for mankind in the 21st century by the WHO, spirulina is consumed primarily as a dietary supplement.

What are the benefits of spirulina on the skin?

Fight against skin aging

Rich in vitamin E, selenium and tyrosine, spirulina has antioxidant properties which help fight against the formation of free radicals responsible for the appearance of oxidative stress and signs of aging cutaneous. By providing the skin with all the nutrients it needs, spirulina contributes to the beauty of the skin and helps to naturally protect itself from external aggressions.

Contributes to the regeneration of the skin

Spirulina also contains proteins, which participate in the renewal of our cells. phycocyanin, a pigment that gives spirulina its blue green color, has anti-inflammatory properties that help regenerate cells and limit skin inflammation of all types. Spirulina will therefore be recommended for all skin types, but more particularly for dry and problematic skin, especially acne.

The detoxifying properties of spirulina help naturally promote skin radiance and more easily eliminate toxins accumulated over time.

In addition, the high chlorophyll content of spirulina helps retain moisture in the skin.

Brings suppleness, softness and elasticity

Spirulina contains all the amino acids, trace elements, and vitamins necessary to slow down skin aging and boost collagen production. Found naturally in our body, collagen is responsible for the elasticity and suppleness of our skin. Its synthesis in our body declines over time, causing sagging skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Applied to the skin in the form of a mask or incorporated as an active ingredient in cosmetic treatments, spirulina helps maintain collagen levels, and thus promote elasticity and suppleness of the skin.
