Dr. Alekya Singapore, a dermatologist and aesthetic expert, founder of The Skin Sensé, Skin & Hair Clinics (India) - states that Irish Moss is attracting attention as a promising trend in skincare.
"Irish Moss - likened to an ocean treasure, has the ability to make your skin healthier", Dr. Alekya Singapore asserts and adds that Irish Moss contains numerous vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Irish Moss includes vitamins A, C, E, K, and sulfur, all of which are essential for healthy and radiant skin. The antioxidants in Irish Moss will help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
"The aforementioned vitamins can help combat discoloration and uneven skin tone, making your skin look brighter. Additionally, Irish Moss has been proven to soothe redness and sensitivity", Dr. Alekya says.
To use Irish Moss for skincare, Dr. Alekya Singapore advises that you can make Irish Moss gel by soaking dried Irish Moss in water for a few hours or overnight, then blending it.
Next, you can apply this gel directly to the skin as a moisturizer or add it to your favorite skincare products. You can also add Irish Moss to your diet by adding it to smoothies or using it as a thickening agent in soups and stews.
However, Dr. Alekya also notes that it is essential to remember that everyone's skin is different. Therefore, before using Irish Moss as part of your skincare routine, try a small patch to see how your skin reacts before deciding.
