subject: Acne Treatments From The Dead Sea [print this page] Facials and cleansers created from the water and mud of the Dead Sea are nothing new. Often thought of as a spa treatment for therapeutic and relaxation benefits, many people are not aware of the many other rewards that come from Dead Sea muds, salts and seawater.
While it's true, the mud makes a soothing and relaxing body wrap, minerals of the Dead Sea can also be utilized in treating oily and blemish prone skin.
Acne is caused by a build up of oil and dirt which clogs the skins pores. Clogged pores essentially become infected by the debris and leads to a breakout of blemishes and blackheads. Dead Sea salts help combat this problem in several ways.
The salt of the dead sea is a natural and effective exfoliant. This will eliminate dead skin cells, allowing new skin to generate. Removing dead skin is important for oily conditions, because not only will it clog pores if left to fester, but keeping the pores clear also allows skin to breath.
But the salts don't stop working there. The Dead Sea is home to hundreds of minerals and other natural nutrients that your skin needs to remain healthy. Therefore, while it exfoliates, it also conditions. This adds balance and harmony to blemished skin, and encourages it to glow. Strong enough to penetrate into the pores, the salts of the Dead Sea cleanse deeply and purify oily, contaminated skin.
Finally, even oily skin needs hydration. Dead Sea salts, mud and seawater all provide a channel that helps the skin retain moisture and balance the natural PH levels. Without proper hydration, the body will naturally produce more oils to combat any drying effects, so this is especially important when treating acne problems.
Although any product made from the Dead Sea will have a profoundly healing effect on acne, using the salts is the best choice. Exfoliation, moisture retention and nourishing minerals are all key components to giving you healthy, beautiful, blemish free skin.
