Let’s face it. 😉
Face masks have been the gift that keeps on giving since time began.
Our skin is the largest organ of our body. One of the important steps in maintaining healthy skin is to draw out the impurities and toxins on a regular basis. Mud has been used for centuries as a natural way to help the body release toxins through the skin.
In the world of natural masking wonders, the crème de la crème is said to be found in the Dead Sea.
Since ancient times, the Dead Sea has been a renowned source of rejuvenation for royals and travelers with rheumatic illnesses and skin issues like eczema. According to legend, Cleopatra even set up shop there during her reign in Egypt, creating one of the first spas in the world because she believed so strongly in the sea’s healing powers and skin-boosting benefits.
Here are some of the top benefits of a Dead Sea mud mask:
1 – It Detoxifies
A Dead Sea mud mask can improve the appearance of your facial skin by improving elasticity and minimizing pores, wrinkles and lines. When it dries, toxins that may be present in your skin cells from your everyday diet are drawn out.
2 – It Improves Circulation
Circulation helps bring vital nutrients and oxygen to your cells and carry away toxins and wastes — all essential to healthy and normal cell functioning.
3 – It Improves Skin Health
Dead Sea mud is high in skin-nourishing minerals, such as sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium, iron, and calcium. It also naturally softens and moisturizes, so it dramatically improves the appearance and health of your skin leaving it more tone, even in texture, clearer and youthful.
4 – It Banishes Acne
The combination of an exfoliating clay texture, antibacterial qualities, and the way the clay soaks up oil, dirt, and impurities makes the mud a dream detoxer for treating acne. It’s also supposed to minimize pores and keep wrinkles and fine lines at bay, so consider it like an all-in-one facial.
5 – It Treats Skin Conditions
Studies by the Dead Sea Research Center show it can be especially beneficial for people with skin diseases like psoriasis and related joint pain from psoriatic arthritis.
