What is the merit of using Dead Sea mineral components in skin care?
The unique geographical location of the Dead Sea, the concentration of salts in its waters and the special content of those waters and salts all contribute to the Dead Sea’s incredible medicinal properties that have been known to man for thousands of years. For chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema it really works. But, to enjoy these benefits, you have to actually be there, relax in the waters and expose yourself to the uniquely filtered UV light and element saturated air. Transporting the mud or salts elsewhere will simply NOT give the same results. However: The skin is a semi permeable membrane that responds to osmotic pressure by either absorbing moisture or releasing waste. The minerals in Dead Sea water can act as important catalysts in the skins numerous metabolic processes. The concentration range required to activate need only be small. Even at 0.5%, or less, they can support cell functioning and enhance moisture retention.
