Spirulina: Spirulina is an iron-rich blue-green algae superfood that is 65 percent
amino acids and high in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and nutrients, including
beta carotene, chlorophyll, and calcium. Spirulina contains significant amounts
of the powerhouse antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) that attacks free
radicals, thereby limiting their damaging effects on your skin.
Strawberries: This superfruit is high in polyphenols and highly anti-
inflammatory due to an amazing combination of beneficial phytonutrients,
including anthocyanins, ellagitannins, flavonols, terpenoids, phenolic acid, and
vitamin C. Due to their salicylic acid and alpha-hydroxy acid content,
strawberries are brightening and exfoliating and promote clear skin and a
youthful glow.
Sugar: Sugar is a great natural exfoliator due to its texture and glycolic acid
content, which allows for effective yet gentle abrasion. Glycolic acids help
cleanse pores and improve overall skin tone and texture by removing dead, dull
skin cells.
Sweet almond oil: Rich in beneficial vitamins and minerals—including
vitamins A, B1, B3, B6, E, and D, plus magnesium and calcium—sweet almond
oil is a lightweight, satiny-smooth, easily absorbed oil that has little or no scent.
Sweet almond oil is anti-inflammatory and beneficial for all skin types and helps
to relieve dry skin and irritated skin.
Sweet orange essential oil: This sweet, fruity, joyful, and uplifting oil is
considered a stress reliever and an antidepressant. Sweet orange essential oil is
anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and detoxifying. In skin care it strengthens the
epidermis, increases collagen production, improves circulation, and soothes dry
and irritated skin.
