Famous brands and final users started to discover how to get the best of it. We don´t have to thrust in ancient Cleopatra´s formulas as the only source anymore.
The mineral-rich content of the salt can do miracles for your entire body and your face. Despite being abrasive, the salt can also contribute to improving the texture and appearance of your complexion.
What Dead Sea salt can do for your face
Overall, the Dead Sea salt promotes good health by penetrating the cells and other organs with minerals and essential elements. Although there are about 32 of them, you can find that the main elements consist of magnesium to aid in skin healing.
