“With its very first origins in sea water flooding into the valley from the Mediterranean, some of what makes the Dead Sea salty is the gradual evaporation of water over the years, due to the desert climate. Its salt content is derived from the erosion of rocks on land, with their salt ions driven by rivers into the landlocked lake. Its extremely low elevation means that water cannot escape the Dead Sea once it enters, and exposed to the intense heat, the water evaporates more quickly, leading to an intense salinity.”

The salt crystals are rich with minerals, unlike other seas or oceans around the world where the salt content is just 3%, the water in the Dead Sea has 32% salt minerals. The waters and surrounding mud are rich in magnesium, iodine, calcium, sodium, potassium, bromide, sulfates, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and more.

There are:

Minerals for acne:  Sulfur helps in detoxifying and cleansing the skin, so that it removes dirt from the skin’s surface leaving it free of any dirt or clogged pores. When pores are clogged, skin ends up looking dull.
