This secret skin care ingredient is known for making skin look so much younger. I do not see this natural plant being talked about much in the beauty world, maybe because luxury brands have been kelping it a secret.
A friend introduced me to La Mer a few years ago and it seemed like I was the only person in the world who's never heard of the brand before. Now, I have been actively using La Mer moisturizing cream for two years because of the extreme hydration and irritation prevent for my sensitive skin.
La Mer grows their own natural kelp off of Vancouver Island and creates their own miracle broth. Kelp is a very sustainable plant harvesting many vitamins and minerals, making it an eco-friendly ingredient in any skin care product. Many research studies have shown the proven affects kelp has on skin's elasticity and it good to use on all skin types.
I've found that skin care products containing kelp or algae can come with a higher price tag because of it's power to get rid of wrinkles and cellulite, while truly hydrating your skin. Kelp contains anti- inflammatory properties that assist with acne and anti-oxidants that help protect against UVA rays. The creator of La Mer, Dr. Huber, was burned in a terrible accident and spent 12 years perfecting a product that would heal his skin. This brand might be pricey but the scientifically, credible formula can honestly be trusted on your skin. The La Mer moisturizer is thicker than other moisturizers I've used but I like that I can feel it soak into my skin. I use the cream very day in the summer for that extra protection from the sun.
