09/15/2014 08:57

When it comes to skin care, a name like the dead sea doesn't sound promising, however the dead sea is the closest humanity has gotten to a 'fountain of youth'. The dead sea boasts over 26 essential minerals that do not exist in any other sea or ocean in the world. These minerals provide intense healing and repair for your skin. The high magnesium content not only slows the aging process, but helps to combat stress and reduce fluid retention. The calcium in dead sea minerals is effective at increasing circulation and strengthening bones and nails. The sulfur in dead sea minerals helps soften and smooth the skin. Sodium on the other hand heals the dryness of the skin. Lithium and Strontium treats skin problems and Manganese helps to form a healthy and glowing skin layer. You can experience the benefits of dead sea minerals in a condensed form through the dead sea salts. You can also find dead sea soap enriched with minerals, or dead sea lotions.
