This is because of Dead Sea mud's metabolic action, and to the degree to which it stimulates blood flow to the skin's surface. This is beneficial because the more blood there is flowing to the cells, the better they are nourished. It is important to explain that Dead Sea has that effect normally, and will last for half an hour, generally. The floridity is particularly pronounced when comparing areas that were exposed to the mud to the areas that were not. The potency of this natural mud is quite striking.
Some estheticians prefer to apply the mud over cheese cloth to aid in removal.
The combination of Dead Sea Salt and Dead Sea Mud lends itself very well to foot treatments. Dead Sea mud has extraordinary exfoliating properties. Its grains are extremely fine and sticky, and very adept at removing dead skin cells. To aid in dislodging the dead skin cells, a foot scrub of Dead Sea salt and essential oils can be applied before the foot mask. There are certain caveats to keep in mind when implementing Dead Sea treatments.
