What Do Dead Sea Minerals Do For Your Skin?


The high mineral content found in the Dead Sea has been famous for thousands of years for its therapeutic and even curative properties. People from that region and the rest of the world flocked to the area in order to get help for all sorts of skin conditions and diseases. Other bodies of water, even oceans, do not have the same composition as the Dead Sea. Their saltiness is mainly from sodium chloride while the Dead Sea has very little sodium chloride. Instead, there are many different mineral salts within the water.

The Dead Sea minerals that have the most impact on healthy skin and relief of skin conditions are potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, bromide, strontium, manganese and boron. Most, if not all, are present in healthy skin tissue but as we age, we usually cannot replenish the skin's supply adequately and thus our skin becomes duller, less firm and develops wrinkles and fine lines. By replenishing these vital minerals we not only can improve skin disorders but actually counter the effects of aging.

Take a look at the benefits each of these vital minerals provides:

Potassium. provides energy to the skin cells which is needed for good hydration and regeneration.

Magnesium. helps the skin regain a more youthful appearance by activating the enzymes necessary to cause cell regeneration.

Calcium. strengthens cell walls and membranes which enable skin to remain firmer.

Zinc. stimulates the production of collegen and elastin. These substances are what hold the skin cells together and keep them firm. Loss of these two substances contribute greatly to wrinkle formation.

Bromide. helps to soothe and heal damaged skin.

Strontium. relieves symptoms of skin disorders, particularly the itchiness common to many skin problems.

Manganese. increases blood circulation in the skin and has antioxidant properties to help rid the skin of toxins and protect from the damage from free radicals.

Boron. offers relief from psoriasis symptoms.
