Useful properties of Dead Sea minerals

The beneficial properties of Dead Sea minerals are used not only to treat skin diseases, activate blood supply to tissues, relieve joint and muscle pain, and improve metabolism. They are widely used in cosmetics with Dead Sea minerals – for skin and hair care. The skin needs beneficial minerals to function normally and maintain a natural moisture level.

The exceptional composition of such cosmetics, due to the high concentration of mineral salts, allows saturating the deep layers of the dermis with essential minerals, quickly healing it and improving its appearance.

Magnesium, acting as an antiallergen, improves cellular metabolism, stimulates protein synthesis and helps to increase skin cell regeneration. Manganese, which has powerful antioxidant properties, increases blood microcirculation and thereby promotes skin rejuvenation and improvement of the subcutaneous tissue condition. Calcium affects the permeability of cell membranes that protect cells, and the main regulator of skin moisture is potassium, which, in addition, promotes the optimal pH level of the skin. Sodium activates intracellular metabolism, and zinc plays one of the main roles in the process of growth and restoration of damaged cells, it has anti-inflammatory properties and blocks UV rays.

In general, the beneficial properties of Dead Sea Minerals are obvious, and with a deficiency of the listed minerals, it is difficult for skin cells to resist the negative impact of various factors.
