5 top marine beauty buys

Anti-ageing

There’s a reason why the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream Ultra-Rich is an award-winning product. The wonder pot contains the active ingredients: Mediterranean algae Padina Pavonica and Ginkgo Biloba. While the former works to increase the moisture and elasticity in the skin, the latter protects from free radicals. It forms a barrier on the skin that’s both nourishing and regenerative. We love.

Repair and relaxation

Let’s face it, despite the benefits of algae, we’re hardly going to be bringing some back from the beach, are we? But seaweed skincare brand Voya is one step ahead: The Walton family started the global business of selling seaweed from the Atlantic Coast of Ireland and now you can get your own Voya Lazy Days Seaweed Bath all neatly packaged. Once it’s placed in hot water, the dehydrated seaweed comes back to life, releasing its alginate properties to repair and nourish the skin. The slimy feeling will take a bath or two to get used to, but the results make it worth it – just be careful not to slip!
