We all know the Dead Sea for its unrivaled salinity and for its nutrient rich mud that is used in skincare treatments like our famous Dead Sea Mud Mask. But did you know that Dead Sea Mud can do more than give you a glowing, bright complexion? Read on to learn more about this wonder ingredient!

Stimulates Hair Growth

While stunted or insufficient hair growth can be caused by a variety of factors, many times it is because not enough blood flow is reaching your hair follicles, preventing proteins and nutrients from reaching your hair and thus making new growth increasingly harder to come by, causing increased hair shedding. When applied to the scalp, Dead Sea Mud stimulates blood flow and circulation on the scalp and stimulates the hair follicles – making it an effective scalp stimulating treatment. For maximum benefits, use once weekly – massaging it into the scalp and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before shampooing it out in the shower.

Reduces the Appearance of Cellulite

Massage Dead Sea Mud onto your cellulite prone areas and let it dry fully before gently scrubbing off with a warm damp washcloth. The mud’s high potassium, magnesium, and calcium content will stimulate blood flow while the mud extracts toxins from the skin. This stimulating treatment helps break down the stubborn pockets of fat that appear as cellulite and help smooth and detoxify skin.

Relieves Chronic Skin Disorders

While Dead Sea Mud isn’t a one-time cure for skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, many have turned to the treatment to help manage their symptoms and keep their skin calmed and feeling manageable. How? Dead Sea Mud’s lightly exfoliating properties slough off excess dry skin that can make it feel scaly and itchy. The mud also helps balance skin’s pH, this keeps skin from feeling tight and irritable which can exacerbate the itching and dryness associated with these conditions.

Relieves Muscle Pain

Studies have shown that Dead Sea Mud is an effective way to treat sore, aching muscles, and even inflammatory forms of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis, given its ability to boost circulation and calm nerves. Next time you’re feeling bogged down by your arthritis symptoms or are experiencing soreness after a workout, try applying some of our Dead Sea Mud Mask to the area and allowing it to dry, rinsing off before following with a warm soak (we recommend using our Epsom salts for extra muscle relaxation!).
