The Dead Sea is 1,300 feet below sea level it is named the lowest surface on Earth. Located in Israel and Jordan, about 15 miles east of Jerusalem. No life survives in the water except bacteria, as it has a salt concentration seven times that of the ocean. The Dead Sea has long been known as a place of healing, with ancient populations using it to soothe a variety of illnesses and injuries. Today thousands of visitors go to the Dead Sea seeking spa treatments and therapies.  I myself have added to my bucket list of places to visit and things to do.  

What makes Dead Sea clay so beneficial is the high concentration of minerals that are easily absorbed by the skin. These include calcium, magnesium, bromide, potassium, and sulfate. Over thousands of years, layer upon layer of sedimentary clay has formed as the bottom of the sea, trapping a high concentration of minerals proven to be helpful in maintaining healthy, young-looking skin.

• Calcium refreshs skin, while maintaining a strong barrier to hold onto moisture
• Sodium helps rejuvenate the look of youthful, healthy skin
• Magnesium protects
• Sulfur helps to detoxify skin of impurities
• Potassium helps to balance
• Bromide restores a vital look to the complexion

This powerful blend of nutrients is known around the world for its moisturizing qualities. In addition, it contains nutrients that can actually kill the bacteria that causes acne.  

Outside skin care, the Dead Sea mud is thought to help relax the muscles in the body. Cancer patients use it to help increase tranquility and calmness. At the same time, arthritis patients use the mud to reduce rheumatic pains.

Overall, Dead Sea clay, when used regularly, provides the following benefits:

• Absorbs excess oils, dirt, and impurities from the skin, purifying and cleansing
• Gently exfoliates
• Soothes
• Tightens and tones skin, reducing the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces the occurrence oily skin and clogged pores, deeply cleansing skin
• Hydrates and moisturizes skin, helping dry skin

Incorporating dead sea treatments into your regular skin care regimen can really help you to get that healthy, vibrant glow we all want, especially after a long, dry winter! For a quick exfoliating treatment, we recommend you massage our Dead Sea Scrub into your skin for about a minute then rinse it off, or you can leave it on as a mask for 15-30 minutes so your skin can absorb all the minerals.
