Dead Sea salt scrub is the answer for your dry, winter skin. The itchy, scaly skin that you develop during the winter months can be enough to drive you mad! Scratching at your dry arms and legs just isn't very attractive. A good exfoliating scrub made with Dead Sea salts helps alleviate your dry skin, along with application of a quality organic moisturizer afterwards.
A Dead Sea salt scrub exfoliates your skin to leave soft, smooth skin in its wake. Dead skin builds up on the surface of our skin, particularly when we are exposed to the drying factor of central heating constantly. Old, tired skin needs a little help to be removed to reveal new, healthy skin cells. Dead Sea salt is well-known for its healing properties. Bathing in this salt has been documented to help ease painful skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, and has been used for centuries for this purpose. The high mineral content of these salts helps provide healing and relief to dry, itchy skin. Even acne conditions are reported to benefit from the high mineral content of these salts.
Dead Sea salt scrub can cost up to $30 to purchase in designer bath stores. This is nothing but insanity! Think about this carefully: Is salt an expensive item? No, it certainly is not! Why would you even dream of paying this much for something you can make for far less at home? Granted, Dead Sea salt is more expensive than regular salt, but I guarantee that you can still make it for much, much less than it would sell for in the stores. In fact, for $30 you could make enough of this scrub to last you an entire year!
Getting a Dead Sea salt scrub as part of a salt glow in a spa can set you back $90 in a day spa. Why not keep our money in your pocket, instead? For just a few minutes work, you can make your own exfoliating scrub to give you glowingly healthy skin, and relieve your winter itchiness. Grab a friend to rub you down well with the scrub to exfoliate that dry, dead skin.You can return the favor, then apply a nice moisturizing lotion after a nice, warm shower. If you weren't close friends before, I guarantee you will be after this!
