Sea-derived ingredients are making a splash in skin care, and for good reason. Here are four healing, hydrating treatments worth adding to your beauty arsenal.

For those with neither the energy nor the patience for a 10-step skin-care routine. Sit back while hydrating seabed magnesium and mineral-packed French gray sea salt do all the work. For added luxury, apply the Amala Retexturing Gel Aqua Peel, infused with red seaweed extract. $22 and $88 at Kári Skin (Old City)

The fanfare surrounding this moisturizer is well deserved. La Mer’s top-secret “Miracle Broth,” the crux of all its products, is a cell-renewing elixir containing nutrient-rich giant sea kelp. The classic formula’s thick texture is great for dry skin, leaving a dewy, glowing finish. From $95 at cremedelamer.com or Sephora.

Every great skin-care routine starts with something to clear away dead cells. In this scrub, that’s diatomaceous earth, a natural exfoliant made of crushed seashells. With regular use, all skin types can enjoy fine-line and discoloration reduction. $42 at kiehls.com or in-store.

From six types of seaweed to Tahitian seawater, this magical serum is imbued with tons of oceanic antioxidants to protect collagen and improve your skin barrier, leaving your face rejuvenated with increased elasticity. $68 at sabbaticalbeauty.com or for pickup at Bok (South Philly).
