DEAD SEA MUD

Mud and/or Clay from the Dead Sea is rich in minerals and helps revitalize, exfoliate and purify the skin.  It draws toxins, oils & debris from the skin, leaving a clean, fresh feeling.  It helps to tighten pores and stimulate circulation so that your skin is left with a smooth healthy glow.  The mud can also be used as a pack for sore joints.  Use the mud as a hair pack to alleviate dandruff and oily hair conditions.  It will not over-dry the scalp.

The Dead Sea Brine is the mineral rich water from the Dead Sea.

To use the mud or clay:

A Dead Sea Mud Mask can be made very simply with a little dead sea clay and enough water or hydrosol to make a thick paste.  The best water would of course be the dead sea brine.  You can also use the mud which is already wet.  You can add 3 drops of essential oil to the mud to help cleanse the pores and kill bacteria that causes blemishes.  Other wetting agents for the clay are fruit puree, yogurt, cucumber juice, milk, etc.  Honey can be added to make the mask antibacterial and a bit more moisturizing for dry skin.  If your skin tends to be dry in some spots, you may want to add some jojoba to the mud mask to help balance the skin.  Other good additives are: Powdered Sea Vegetables, Powdered rice bran, colloidal oatmeal, nut meals, powdered herbs, etc.  Dead Sea Clay Masks should not be premixed and stored, so only mix enough for your individual mask.

Of course, the Dead Sea Mud is ready to use as a facial mask and is shelf stable.
