Homemade Sea Moss Gel Recipe

Now that you know some of the benefits, here is how to prepare sea moss gel yourself. The sea moss gel ingredients are very simple and this recipe should make around 4 to 6 ounces of gel when finished.

Ingredients

• Chunk of sea moss
• Water
• Blender

Instructions

Add the sea moss to a bowl of filtered water. Make sure the sea moss is completely covered in the water. Let sit for 48 hours covered. Make sure to use a bigger bowl since it will expand and get soft.  

Drain the sea moss and add it to a blender with about 1 cup of filtered water. Blend until it is nice and smooth.

That’s it! Keep the sea moss gel in a closed container in your fridge for up to 4 weeks.

Notes

• You will want a high power blender to help you grind up the sea moss, otherwise it might be grainy.
• This can be used in smoothies, oatmeal, face mask, soaps, sugar scrubs, pudding, jam, etc.

Tips for Using Sea Moss Gel in Skincare Products

Sea moss gel is an ingredient that will work wonders for your skin. Now that you know the simple sea moss preparation, here are a few tips on how to use sea moss gel:

1. Hydrating Face Mask: Create a hydrating face mask by mixing sea moss gel with ingredients like honey, aloe vera gel, or mashed avocado. Apply the mask to clean skin, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water for refreshed and moisturized skin.
   
2. Moisturizing Cream: Incorporate sea moss gel into a homemade moisturizing cream or lotion. Combine it with shea butter, coconut oil, and essential oils for a nourishing and hydrating skincare product.
   
3. Exfoliating Scrub: Mix sea moss gel with natural exfoliants like sugar, sea salt, or ground oatmeal to create a gentle exfoliating scrub. This scrub can help remove dead skin cells, promote circulation, and leave the skin feeling smooth and revitalized.
   
4. Eye Gel: Combine sea moss gel with cucumber juice or chamomile tea to create a soothing and hydrating eye gel. Apply a small amount around the eyes to reduce puffiness, hydrate the delicate skin, and minimize the appearance of fine lines.
   
5. Hair Mask: Sea moss gel can also be beneficial for the scalp and hair. Mix it with coconut oil, argan oil, or aloe vera gel to create a hydrating hair mask. Apply the mask to damp hair, leave it on for 20-30 minutes, then shampoo and condition as usual for soft, nourished hair.

Remember to do a patch test before using any new skincare product, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
