What is another name for a treatment using a seaweed mask?

  1. Thalassotherapy

  2. Algotherapy

  3. Aromatherapy

  4. Hydrotherapy

The correct answer is: Algotherapy

The correct answer, Algotherapy, refers specifically to the therapeutic use of algae or seaweed, particularly in skincare treatments. Seaweed masks are utilized for their rich nutrient profile, which includes vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids beneficial for the skin. These masks can hydrate, detoxify, and rejuvenate the skin, making algotherapy a popular choice in esthetics. Thalassotherapy, while related, generally involves the use of seawater and is broader, including various sea minerals and is not limited to seaweed. Aromatherapy focuses on the use of essential oils derived from plants for emotional and physical well-being, and hydrotherapy utilizes water in different forms for healing purposes, both of which are distinct from the specific use of seaweed in skincare.
