The benefits of seaweed on the skin

For decades, and more, seaweed has been a central part of beauty and wellness rituals. As early as ancient China, seaweed was incorporated into diets and skincare for its detoxifying and revitalizing properties. The Celts in Europe used it to treat skin irritations and maintain skin health. They already recognized its ability to moisturize and soothe.

Why at Onérique do we think algae are essential for your skin?

Seaweed is a treasure of nature for the skin. Rich in minerals, it deeply hydrates. In fact, it fights the signs of aging thanks to its powerful antioxidants.

Among the antioxidants present in algae are polyphenols , carotenoids and vitamins C and E which are all powerful agents against free radicals.

• Polyphenols are bioactive compounds that have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. They help neutralize free radicals, unstable molecules that damage skin cells. They contribute to premature aging.
• Carotenoids, on the other hand, are natural pigments found in certain brown algae. They have powerful antioxidant properties, helping to protect the skin against oxidative damage ( learn more ).
• Fucoxanthin, in particular, is known for its ability to reduce inflammation and promote skin cell regeneration. It contributes to a more even and luminous complexion ( learn more ).
• Vitamins C and E are essential antioxidants. Vitamin C helps boost collagen production, which is essential for skin firmness and elasticity. It also reduces dark spots. Vitamin E, on the other hand, protects cell membranes from oxidation and improves skin hydration, making it softer and more supple.

These natural nutrients restore radiance and firmness to the skin.

Incorporating seaweed products into your daily routine, like those from Onérique Skincare, will transform your skin. After a few days, you will find your skin luminous, glowing and full of life.

How to integrate the benefits of algae into your beauty routine?

To take full advantage of the benefits of seaweed, you can incorporate a few products into your beauty routine:

For example, in the morning, start with a gentle cleanser based on seaweed extracts like our micellar water . This helps remove impurities while hydrating the skin. You can then apply a serum enriched with alginates like Les Jolies Perles . This serum will protect your skin from external aggressions throughout the day. Use a moisturizer based on brown algae like La Crème Coton .

In the evening, use the micellar water with marine water again to remove makeup residue and accumulated impurities. Doing a mask once or twice a week will help to deeply revitalize the skin. Finish your routine with a nourishing night cream , which will maximize the benefits of the algae while promoting rested and revitalized skin upon waking.
