Try thalasso-therapy

Beauty may be skin deep but it also comes from the deep -the sea .Let's look at the properties found in seaweed ,which literally swims in marine goodness .

* A seaweed bath is a pure luxury worth indulging in .
* Famous for its relaxant properties ,brown shore seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) is an excellent as a cure for stress .
* Californian blue seaweed ( Spirula maxima ) combats fatigue and
slows down cellular ageing .

The virtues of seaweed
Seaweed plays an important role in natural beauty care .This versatile marine plant contains a high concentration of salt ,minerals ,vitamins and trace elements . Our own fluid organs ( blood .lymph ,plasma )contain properties very similar to those found in seaweeds. Among the most interesting seaweeds are Ulva undaria and Porphyra ,full of exceptional powers to combat free radicals and helpful in promoting a velvet skin ; then there is Sanguinea delestria ,rich in vitamins A and K ,and particularly effective in hydration .The regular use of seaweeds in the form of creams or masks provides a preventative and curative action against ageing for the skin .

Thalassotherapy and its role in your regime
For protecting the skin against the hazards of modern living ( stress ,pollution etc .) nothing beats a truly iodized rest .If you want to rediscover your beauty ,lissomness and ' joie de vivre ' then give yourself a thalassotherapy break . It is a completely natural cure while combines many benefit of the sea and rejuvenates both mind and body .The star of the show is seawater ,rich in trace elements (chlorine ,sodium ,magnesium ,calcium etc .),which ,in a bath , penetrates into the body through the skin .For best results the seawater should be heated to a temperature of 32 to 33 c (60 to 62 f) .If at all possible ,take two or three short cures every year - this will have the sane effect as a mini facelift .
