January at Skin Elixir HQ is all about those little steps we can take to bring us more skin confidence through improved skin health and outward radiance.

On the list is Chlorella a type of freshwater algae used as a dietary supplement on account of its high nutritional value.  Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Chlorella is also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Chlorella is believed to have various health benefits, including supporting immune function, improving digestion, and detoxifying the body. It is available in various forms, such as powder, tablets, and capsules.

One little known fact about chlorella is that it is a type of single-celled green algae that has a high concentration of chlorophyll, making it a highly nutritious superfood. Chlorella has a unique ability to bind to heavy metals and other toxins in the body, making it a popular choice for detoxification and cleansing. Not a bad idea after the often excessive festivities!
