Kelp is a large leafy, brown algae that grows along cold-climate coastlines. It can bring a healthy glow to your complexion when used as a facial mask and makes a mineral-rich body scrub when mixed with equal parts sea salt.

  1. In a small bowl, mix ingredients to create a smooth paste. If mixture is too thick, add 1 to 2 teaspoons water.
