What Is a Dead Sea Salt Scrub?
A Dead Sea salt scrub is a kind of exfoliant that is made from salt crystals that have been harvested from the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is a salt lake in Jordan that is so salty that animals cannot live in its waters. While the Dead Sea may be named because of its inhospitable waters, its salts have been used for many purposes. While it is possible to make a scrub using almost any kind of salt, the additional minerals that are present in salt harvested from the Dead Sea make it particularly appealing. This type of salt scrub can be used in the bath or during a massage to help remove dead skin cells and polish the new skin. Salt scrubs are almost always made with at least a small amount of oil. Once the dead skin has been removed, the oil moisturizes the younger layer of skin beneath. Once the scrub has been applied, massaged into the skin, and then rinsed away with warm water, the skin is left looking smoother and younger.
