Nuru Massage is an ancient Japanese massage technique that is becoming increasingly popular in the Western world. While the benefits of the massage technique itself are widely known, Japanese Nuru Massage gel and Nuru Massage powder are also packed with powerful ingredients that each have their own health and wellness benefits.
In this blog, we'll explore five of the main ingredients in Eroticgel Nuru Massage products and the surprising health benefits they offer.
Seaweed Extract
Seaweed extract is a key ingredient in Nuru Massage powder and gel. Seaweed gives Japanese Nuru Massage Gel its signature slippery texture, but it also has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Full of vitamins and minerals, seaweed helps to detoxify the body, improve circulation, and ease muscle pain. It's effects on the skin include hydration for dry skin, smoothing and brightening for uneven skin tone, and reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. A formal study supports the fact that seaweed can be used as an active ingredient, and shows promising results as an "antioxidant, antibacterial whitening agent, anti-aging, and anti-acne, and [for] moisturization."
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a well-known natural remedy for sunburns, but did you know that it also has powerful anti-inflammatory properties? A main ingredient in Nuru gel and powder, aloe vera helps to soothe and heal the skin. It is a natural hydrator, which helps to keep the skin's moisture balance in check. Aloe vera also has antimicrobial properties, which can help to keep the skin clean and free of bacteria, which is a major cause of acne. The natural compounds in aloe vera, aloesin and aloin, have also been shown to help with skin pigmentation, reducing the appearance of dark spots. A study on aloesin found that "aloesin showed promise as a pigmentation-altering agent for cosmetic or therapeutic applications".
Green Tea
Green tea extract is a highly effective antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. It also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which can help to soothe the skin and keep it clear of blemishes. Green tea extract is another key ingredient in Nuru Massage powder and Nuru gel, and its benefits for the skin are backed by scientific research. In one study, green tea was shown to reduce sebum production (the oily substance that leads to clogged pores and acne breakouts), while another study found that it helped to reduce inflammation and redness in people with rosacea and other skin disorders.
Licorice
A lesser-known ingredient in Nuru Massage gel and Nuru Massage powder is licorice extract. This often underrated ingredient has incredible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which make it great for cleansing and soothing the skin. Licorice extract is a common ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine, and is used to treat a variety of skin conditions. In one study, licorice was shown to be effective in treating atopic dermatitis (a chronic inflammatory skin condition). The flavonoids in licorice also provide anti-aging benefits, inhibiting the production of an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is responsible for pigmentation and can leave you with dark spots as you age.
Our Final Thoughts
The benefits of these four super-ingredients are just some of the many advantages that Eroticgel Nuru Massage powder and Nuru Massage gel have to offer. Nuru gel and powder are packed with other powerful ingredients like vitamin B5, which helps to keep the skin hydrated and repairs the delicate skin barrier. Of course, Nuru Massage itself is an incredibly sensual and intimate experience with a host of its own benefits for your body.
