Q. My skin turns pink when I apply Awakening Body Lotion. The concentrated magnesium in the Dead Sea salts tends to dilate capillaries, which causes more blood to flow to the skin. This makes the skin turn a healthy pink because of the increased blood flow. The black mud of the Dead Sea, like the Sea's concentrated minerals, infuses magnesium as a natural anti-allergen into the skin. The mud's drying process also helps to remove grime from skin pores and toxins from the skin.
Potassium is a hydrator and allows the skin to retain moisture.
Chamomile and aloe vera help to reduce the natural drying effect of the mud. The pure, black montmorilinite clay of the Dead Sea is a wonderfully effective scrub. Just apply a small amount to a face cloth, then apply two or three times per week. The first application of Awakening Clear Complexion Treatment can indeed cause a flare up as contaminants and toxins are drawn from the skin. This initial flare up then stops as Clear Complexion Treatment is used regularly.
