Dead Sea Products
What are Dead Sea products?
The use of natural ingredients is nothing new in the world of beauty. From the beginning of time, herbs and natural colorants were utilized for everything from make up to skin treatments. The newest rage in natural beauty comes from the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea’s chemical composition has shown a remarkable effect on the skin’s surface as well as its overall condition – but can it work for you?
What’s in the Dead Sea?
The water that’s found in the Dead Sea has a unique chemical formulation from ‘regular’ water. Not only does it contain trace elements like regular sea water, but it also contains high concentrations of potassium, magnesium, bromides, and calcium chlorides. This distinctive blend of elements creates a mixture that is purported to allow the body to repair itself as well as restore balance.
What can the Dead Sea do for me?
There are a number of ways that Dead Sea products can help the skin and the body, according to some studies. These benefits include:
> Increasing the circulation
> Helping to alleviate pains of rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis
> Reduces swelling of the joints
> Increases skin cell regeneration
> Reduces muscle pains
> Helps prevent skin dryness
Because of the high salt and mineral concentration in the Dead Sea, the skin doesn’t release water and become dry – it actually can restore the natural balance of retaining water and thus suppleness. These products can also protect the skin by helping create a protective barrier.
What kinds of products are available?
Many companies are seeing the value in creating a line of products that utilize the Dead Sea waters and these products are numerous. Some items include:
> Moisturizers for the face and body
> Masks for the face
> Cleansers
> Dead Sea mud for masks and body masks
> Bath salts
> Shampoo
> Conditioner
> Hair masks
And new items keep being developed. Because of the moisture retention properties, Dead Sea products are wonderful for restoring dry skin or hair that’s been damaged by heat or over-processing. They can also help to slough off dead skin and promote the regeneration of smoother, younger looking skin.
How can I shop for these products?
You can find Dead Sea products on a number of websites including ours and in a number of spas and salons these days. Simply type in the word ‘dead sea’ and you’re bound to get a number or results. The only problem with this new trend is that some manufacturers are not using actually Dead Sea water in order to create their products. You’ll want to check the labels to make sure that you’re getting the ingredients that you are expecting to use on your body.
Dead Sea products are a worthwhile line of skin products to try and come in a variety of formulations and for a number of purposes. And even if they don’t live up to all of their promises, at least you’ll have softer skin for trying.
