The Fountain of Youth: The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea: Ideal Skin Care Ingredients from Nature
The Dead Sea gets its name from the fact that it cannot sustain any plant or animal life due to its unusually high salt content of 33%. Ironically, this is also one of the reasons it is the ideal place to harvest ingredients for Dead Sea Skin Products. Along with the high salt content, the Dead Sea contains a bounty of vitamins and minerals that are all naturally occurring in our bodies. Vitamins and minerals that our skin desperately needs to continue looking young and rejuvenated. Luckily, Dead Sea Skin Products come from three main sources that have their own skin renewing benefits.
Dead Sea Mud
Dead Sea Mud or Black Mud as it is also known, is used in many Dead Sea Skin Products whose focus is areas that are blemish prone. This is because applying the mud to the skin allows for absorption of the sodium, magnesium, phosphates, and other skin renewing minerals that hydrate the skin, lower inflammation, and kill the bacteria that causes these blemishes.
Dead Sea Salt
Dead Sea Salt is not like your everyday table salt. Not only does it contain all of the skin renewing minerals that are expected in Dead Sea Skin Products, but it also acts as a gentle exfoliant. Applying a small amount and gently rubbing it on the surface of the skin delivers skin hydrating minerals and removes dead skin cells.
Dead Sea Water
Dead Sea Water is a highly sought ingredient in Dead Sea Skin Products because it soothes sore muscles. It also prevents painful and unsightly skin conditions like dandruff and psoriasis by hydrating the skin. Less known, it kills bacteria and prevents fungal growth on the surface of the skin preventing infection.
