Red Algae Mask

On her most recent visit to the spa, DW had a "red algae facial mask". She
swears its the greatest thing that ever touched her face (I'm trying not to
take it personally), but doesn't want to pay the substantial price the spa
wants to charge her for a supply of algae powder to make her own.
I've assured her that the women of AF can save her money, so... Anyone have
a great online source for red algae mask?

most likely that was an Osea skincare product as the line is used quite
a bit in spas. Not only do they have a Red Algae mask but they now have
a White Algae mask as well.
check it out at Oseaskin.com
if you have questions, email them (hopefully creator/owner Jenefer
Palmer might be available to answer your questions) and they will get
back to you!
lovely product line!

Here are the ingredients of the OSEA product. It's $36 for not quite
two oz.

Red lichen is also known as Irish Moss or good ole carrageen
an, a rather common food thickener. My suggestion is to combine this
Irish Moss lotion (8 oz. for $10.) or something similar with pink clay,
which you buy at a health food store (8 oz. for $3.). If the mask is a
little lumpy, add honey or glycerin and keep stirring.

Here's a page that lists skin products that contain carrageenan. There
have been a couple of studies showing that if lab rats ingest huge
quantities of it, they get stomach lesions, but there's no proof it's
harmful to humans.
