Uses of Dead Sea Black Mud - for face, body and hair:
This mud is a blend of Dead Sea minerals and organic material formed over thousands of
years on the Dead Sea bed. This unique product of nature is rich in Magnesium, Potassium,
Calcium and Bromide. It replenishes those skin minerals essential for renewal and
regeneration while removing toxins and dead cells with an exfoliating action.
Its cleansing properties purify, revitalize and firm skin tissues giving a brighter complexion.
Black mud also stimulates blood and lymph circulation; increasing oxygen intake and
draining trapped fluids. It is therefore effective in treating cellulite and in alleviating arthritic
and rheumatic conditions. As a face mask it cleanses, purifies, revitalizes the skin tissue, it
improves acne scars and the overall complexion.
