BYE, BYE PLASTIC BEADS, HELLO DEAD SEA MINERALS

Hey guys! After a long winter and blogging break, summer weather has finally arrived in New York. The transfer between seasons really does a number on our skin, as it intensely dries it out and creates some rough skin.

While contemplating the best tips to give you to prepare your skin for summer and keep your skin healthy as well as glowing I decided on my three favorite ones:

• Drink lots of water
• Use sunscreen
• Exfoliate
  
  

Today I will delve a little deeper into exfoliating with minerals of the dead sea.

Exfoliating your skin is a key element to any skincare routine; it clears away dead skin cells, unclogs pores and leaves your skin with an amazing glow—so choosing the right one amongst a sea of toxic products is vital.   

Remember all the stories about the little plastic beads that were in so many drugstore and luxury exfoliants? Turns out, microbeads don’t degrade, accumulating in rivers, lakes and oceans and potentially even making its way into our drinking water. Why would we put anything on our skin that is proven to be so harmful to the environment? After all, our skin is our barrier to pollutants, it’s our home—and we should only use products that protect and nourish it...products that are wholeheartedly natural with precious ingredients that penetrate deeply and are proven to work.

Enter our Deep Pore Facial Exfoliant—rich in Dead Sea minerals, natural plant extracts, essential oils and vitamins, this gentle Peeling Gel will both exfoliate and cleanse your skin, removing all impurities and dead skin cells. Some key ingredients that make our exfoliant different from all the others? Aloe vera that soothes, chamomile that promotes healing, ginger that acts as an antibacterial, olive oil that stimulates collagen, evening primrose for it’s amazing regenerative properties—and that is not all—there are 13 natural superpower ingredients in our exfoliant, that are incredibly kind to your skin, leaving it in it’s healthiest, most glowing form.  

So, how do you apply this product?

1. Wash your face before you exfoliate (although ours does act like a cleanser as well, so you can skip this step too!)
2. Exfoliate face, neck, and décolletage area, using lukewarm water.
3. Scrub in circular motions—never tug or rub downward on the skin.
4. Pat dry.

Used regularly, as part of your exfoliation and cleansing routine our Deep Pore Facial Exfoliate will ensure that your skin is left silky soft, radiant and refreshed. It’s indeed the natural healer you’ve been looking for all along.

What are the benefits of exfoliating with dead sea salt? There are many. Dead sea salt has been used for centuries—at first by the peoples in Ancient Egypt- to promote health in many different ways, from skin to hair.  It is widely recognized for treating skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis and skin allergies. The high concentration of magnesium in dead sea salt is the main nutrient that improves hydration and reduced inflammation. What’s even more exciting is that it is proven to have anti-aging benefits—reducing the appearance of wrinkles by repairing the epidermal layer and retaining water so that the skin stays as moisturized as possible.

My favorite all over body exfoliante is the Ultra Exfoliating Body Treatment

Here’s a breakdown of the benefits of just a few of the amazing minerals that are found in our exfoliants

Magnesium: Promotes quick healing and provides anti-allergic elements.
Bromide: Soothers skin.
Sulfur: A natural disinfectant.
Potassium: Helps balance moisture.
Sodium: A detoxifying agent, helps retain nourishment.
Zinc: Protects against sunburn.

I hope this information helps with your summer skin glow! However you do your skincare routine, remember its most important to feed your body with the right nutrition and self love!

Cheers,
Miri.
