Ever since the ancient times, the Dead Sea has been known to have therapeutic abilities on our body’s skin. The raw materials in and around the sea are what contain the cleansing powers. In the past centuries, Cleopatra went to great extents to make sure that she obtained ownership of the area around the Dead Sea. She commanded her people to build cosmetic factories around the Dead Sea as she saw the opportunity of tapping such a precious resource to develop her land as cosmetic products from the Dead Sea would certainly be on demand.

The production of these products went on ever since and still goes on even today with exports being shipped to almost every country in this world. It is quite obvious that people treasure their human bodies and we all want to look beautiful hence we would not pass an opportunity of using products that will yield the best results.

A while back, there was a lot of hullabaloo and doubt as to whether the Dead Sea minerals worked but today, research has proven their efficiency. Even a simple bath in the Dead Sea can gradually get rid of skin diseases if done frequently. However, since we all cannot travel to Israel to have a bath in the Dead Sea, the manufacturing companies available have taken the responsibility of delivering the sea’s minerals to our homes by producing Dead Sea cosmetic products. With a bottle in the house, you can wipe your body with the contents daily and after a short while the results will be visible. The products are also known to relieve muscle tension or for relaxation and enjoying a calming experience after a hard day’s work.

The research that was conducted did not only seek to test the truth about ability to heal but it also sought to know which part of the sea was doing the healing. It was realized that it was not only the water of the sea. The Dead Sea mud was also found to have the same composition as the Dead Sea waters. The experiment involved applying the mud on a number of women of different age groups and varying skin tones. The women subjects said that they found the facial mud to be stimulating, tightening, cleansing and invigorating. After having the mud on their faces for a while, the women’s skins were left with a refreshing glow that was clearly visible, something that many other cosmetics were and still are unable to do. The clay has a remarkable absorbency that reaches deep into the pores and thoroughly cleans and removes grime which usually hinders the nourishing process.

The mineral action of the Dead Sea cosmetics works to tighten the pores and thus helping the skin to look and feel its best.
