Sea Vegetables (Cellulite mask)

Amazing Sea Vegetables 


Sea Vegetables are another amazing healthy food that I have recently added to my diet. I will be trying a few ways to use them in the next couple days as well, so look out for the recipes:) There are many varieties of Seaweed, all jam packed with wonderful health benefits, as mentioned in the video. On top of them being amazing to consume, you can even make a skin mask to help cellulite! A wonderful ittle recipe I got from the Dr. Oz Show.

The seaweed in this mask helps to reduce the appearance of fat cells. Additionally, the acid from the lime juice and the moisturizing properties of the honey are a good combination for your skin. This inexpensive mask can reduce the appearance of cellulite on your legs in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients
1/2 cup seaweed
1/2 cup green clay
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp hot water

Directions
First grind the seaweed and add it to the green clay. Mix in the lime juice, honey and hot water. Smear on your legs, wrap with plastic for 25 minutes and then rinse off in the shower. Use weekly for the best results.
