5 Creative Ways to Use Sea Moss Gel

Sea moss is a type of algae that is found in the intertidal zone of rocky shores. It is typically gold, green, or purple in color and has a rubbery texture. Sea moss is rich in nutrients and vitamins, and has been used traditionally as a food and medicine.

Sea moss contains high levels of iodine, potassium, calcium, and other minerals. It’s a good source of dietary fiber and protein. Additionally, sea moss contains compounds that have antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. For these reasons, sea moss has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including respiratory infections, digestive disorders, and joint pain.

Today, sea moss is becoming increasingly popular as a health supplement. It can be taken in capsule form or added to any smoothie or drink. You can add sea moss as an extra ingredient to many recipes, but it can be a little intimidating when you're first getting started.

Here are our 5 unique ways to use this versatile supplement:

1. Put It in Smoothies

Chances are, you've thought of this one already, but sea moss gel is great in smoothies! This superfood is packed with nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and iodine, making it a perfect nutrition-booster for smoothies. If you're looking to make a super-nourishing smoothie with sea moss, here's what you'll need:

1/2 cup of filtered water
1-2 tbsp of Sea Moss Gel
1 frozen banana
1 cup of frozen strawberries

To use sea moss gel as a face mask, simply scoop out 1 tbsp of Premium Gold Sea Moss Gel. Apply the sea moss gel to clean, dry skin and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing with water. For best results use consistently.

If you want to super-charge your face mask, you could add:

Turmeric (to fight breakouts)
Honey (to soften your skin)
Avocado (to improve skin texture)
Yogurt (for antibacterial properties)
Aloe vera (to heal skin and reduce inflammation)

Apply the mixture to your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

This mask is beneficial for all skin types, but those with dry or sensitive skin may find it to be more hydrating.

3. Put It in Your Hair as a Hair Mask

When used as a hair mask, sea moss can help to improve scalp health, reduce inflammation, and promote hair growth.

To use sea moss as a hair mask, simply add 2 tablespoons Premium Gold Sea Moss Gel to a blender along with a banana, an avocado, and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.

Blend until smooth and then apply the mixture to your hair. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes before rinsing it out with warm water.

If you want to add a little extra moisture to your hair, you can also use a conditioner after rinsing out the mask.

Use this mask once or twice per week for best results.

You can also use sea moss gel as a leave-in conditioner. Simply apply a small amount of gel to your damp hair and style as usual.
