Spoiled Your Face


"I LOVE your easy to make recipes. I would like to submit a home spa Seaweed Mineral Bath for your readers." -- Louise Gaudet, British Columbia Kelp

1. Place 30 grams or 2 to 3 rounded tablespoons of Seaweed Bladderwrack Flakes in a cotton scarf, muslin bag, or cut off old pantyhose / nylon (doubled);

2. Tie well with string (loose seaweed flakes may clog drain);


3. Toss in hot bath water;



4. Gently squeeze the pouch while bathing.


Tips: Seaweed Bladderwrack Flakes are natural, mineral rich and also contains vitamins which will absorb through skin. The seaweed flakes turn to gel which is released by gently squeezing pouch as it soaks -- you'll breath in a fresh ocean smell (not fishy!). Rub the seaweed gel on your body and on your face, and leave it on face for the duration of your bath. Lean back and relax -- Seaweed Minerals and Vitamins are nourishing your skin and soothing your sore joints and muscles.

About BC Kelp and Purchasing Quality Wild Seaweed:

BC KELP is a small family business which produces a premium quality sea product. In small batches the Kelp is selectively hand harvested for outstanding quality. The fronds are then cut with stainless steel scissors, leaving the stipe intack and kelp fronds to regrow. The Kelp fronds are naturally ocean rinsed. Carefully separated and hung from stainless steel lines, the Kelp slowly sun or indoor dries (weather depending) to preserve its vitamins and minerals and to expose its rich green color. When the weather does not permit sun drying the kelp is indoor dried by hot air, radient heaters, fuelled by propane. The harvest is carried out in a manner which respects the sensitive and complex nature of the Kelp beds. Only a small percentage (less than 10%) is harvested throughout the annual harvesting season.
