Part II - Dead Sea Skin Care and Natural Skin Care

Many dead sea skin care products also use other natural ingredients that can have great benefits to the skin.  We will discuss some of these ingredients and what benefits they have for the skin.

In my last post we talked about the Dead Sea Minerals- over 20 minerals in high concentration, such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, bromide and other which are essential for helahty skin function and appearance.  Minerals help a skin maintain a natural moisture balance, repar and renew itself, act as anti-oxidants and natural UV blockers as well as many other functions that keep skin healthy and beautiful.

Along with dead sea minerals there are other natural ingredients that can aid in healthy skin and are often used in natural skin care products.  Next we will talk a little about these ingredients and their benefits.

Lavender oil and Evening Primrose Oil - Natural oils which help wash away dirt particles and bacteria while providing moderate moisturization to prevent overdrying.  Evening primrose oil contains Moega-6 EFAs such as gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid reputed to strengthen skin cells and boost their moisture content.

Vitamin A - Accelerates cell renewal and stimulates the collagen in skin, thereby reducing wrinkles and fine lines.  Due it its anti-oxidant properties, it is also a great anit-aging ingredient, and helps promote a softer smoother skin.

Vitamin C - Proven as effective anit-oxidant fighting free-radicals in skin cells, thereby helping slow down the aging process of skin.  Also enhances the synthesis of collagen:  a critically important skin protein that strengthens structural support and firmness of skin, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Jojoba Oil - Has similar chemical makeup to the sebum oil that our skin produces naturally.  Helps reduce wrinkles and other lines associated with aging.  In addition, it helps promote the growth of new skin cells.

Chamomile - Contains two powerful anti-inflammatory agents, while other compounds work as antioxidants to repair damaged skin cells.  Soothes and calms sensitive skin as well as skin afflicted with sunburns, eczema or allergic reactions.

Aloe Vera - Contains numerous vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and natural sugars which help to smooth wrinkles, soften and moisturize the skin, reduce inflammation and sooth and calm irritate or sensitive skin.

Green Tea - Naturally rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from free radicals - known as one of the biggest causes of aging skin.  It also appears to exert sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays.

Shea Butter - Soothes rough, dry or chapped skin, providing lasting moisture and hydration.  Contains high level of cinnamic acid, and a natural sun screen.  Restores elasticity and moisture to skin.  Known to help relieve symptoms of Eczema, sunburned skin and reduce blemishes and scarring.

Glycerin - acts to dry acne blemishes, without over drying skin.

Dead sea skincare  products often go hand in hand with these other natural ingredients.  As you can see all of these ingredents have great abilities to help relieve many skin conditions and also helps protect your skin.
