Why choose Dead Sea Salts

Sept. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Dead Sea salts have been a sought-after ingredient in bath and beauty products for thousands of years. Dead Sea salts have always been celebrated for their numerous cosmetic and health benefits – and they are an affordable alternative to an expensive spa treatment. When you buy Dead Sea salts, you can use them at home as bath salts, or you can use them in homemade facial masks, cleansers, and more.

Dead Sea salts are harvested from the Dead Sea, a mineral-rich body of water located between Jordan and Israel. The Dead Sea has long been a destination for flocks of tourists from around the world, and attracts visitors with its beautiful sunny weather, warm waters, and coast-side spas and beauty facilities.

Dead Sea salts are unique and unlike any other salt you’ll find. Dead Sea salts are rather “cloudy” in color, as opposed to crystal-clear table salt. Dead Sea salts are also quite bitter in comparison to ordinary sea salt. This is because Dead Sea salts have only a fraction of the sodium that table salt has – 10% compared to 90%. But, Dead Sea salts have more than 18 minerals including zinc, calcium, iodine, potassium, and more. These minerals occur naturally in our bodies and are vital to our overall health.

Dead Sea salts carry many benefits, particularly when used as bath salts. Dead Sea salts effectively treat many skin conditions, including from rashes and psoriasis to more everyday conditions such as oily or dry skin. Dead Sea salts are also known to soothe rashes, calm allergic reactions, minimize dandruff and treat acne. Dead Sea salts have been known to improve the appearance of cellulite, manage the appearance of swelling due to water retention, and even treat hair loss. In addition, Dead Sea salts detoxify your skin, drawing out dirt, pollutants and impurities from each pore.

There is nothing more calming than a bath with Dead Sea salts; the minerals in Dead Sea salts, when combined with warm water, work to increase your circulation while decreasing your heart rate, reducing anxiety and stress. Many swear by Dead Sea salts as an effective treatment for insomnia and other sleep disorders. Bathing with Dead Sea salts is the perfect way to end a stressful day.

Dead Sea salts are available from a variety of beauty suppliers, but it’s important to choose your Dead Sea salts carefully: be sure to choose Dead Sea salts that are harvested and sold in their raw form. Pure Dead Sea salts are the closest you will get to soaking in the beautiful waters of the Dead Sea without buying a plane ticket; heavily processed Dead Sea salts do not contain the powerful minerals that make Dead Sea salts so beneficial.

Dead Sea salts are an essential part of your bathing experience. You can buy them in their pure form, or you can choose Dead Sea salts that have been infused with fragrant essential oils and vibrant colors. Dead Sea salts are an affordable yet decadent treat –close your eyes and soak your way to the gorgeous shores of the Dead Sea.
