Product Review:
When I think of seaweed two thoughts cross my mind. First,
my six year old self off the coast of Carmel getting entangled in what I thought
was an octopus, and next, high end spas where women set down their Louis
Vuitton and Hermes bags to be wrapped in this underwater delight. I’ve finally
found the perfect seaweed product that will make you skin feel like a million
bucks without the price tag.
But first a crash course in why seaweed is so highly sought
after in the skincare/beauty world. It contains a list of vitamins including
folic acid, niacin, and is also rich in antioxidants. Seaweed has the ability
to repair, moisturize, and boost the blood flow all while preventing more
damage to your skin. This is why so many people around the world also eat
seaweed as it is part of their cultural diets perhaps unbeknownst to them its
health aiding properties.
Housed in a simple white plastic jar this subtle mint green
concoction is not offensive to the nose as it is not exactly pleasing in my
opinion either. This product is one of those, “it smells like a skincare
product” odors meaning it may have a more mature scent but don’t worry after
application it is odorless. The cream itself is not greasy or oily in any way
and instantly made my skin feel so much softer to the touch. Overnight as it
worked its magic I woke up to soft supple radiant skin fully feeling moisturized
and ready for the morning sun. This is one of those magic in a jar potions that
anyone with sensitive skin or concerns of moisture loss would highly benefit
from. Being thirty this products has definitely not only saved me time but also
money as I don’t feel the need to worry so much if I skip on my morning facial
moisturizer. Of course those who are more mature or younger could always
appreciate this too as skincare is important for your entire life.
Mario Badescu has made a regular appearance on my shelf due
to their high quality products, simple packaging, and also the need not to
advertise all over the place with celebrities endorsing them. This company has
had a reputation built on word of mouth and simply making GREAT products they
stand behind. This is why all their products will eventually find their way on
my shelf!
