One of the minerals found in the Dead Sea is Magnesium. This mineral is known to promote quick healing of skin tissue and soothing damaged skin, an effect I have experienced myself.

Third comes Iodine, a unique mineral that aids the function of the thyroid gland and improves the body's metabolic exchanges.
Next, Sulfur is the mineral responsible for the unique, pungent smell the Dead Sea has. It may not smell sweet, but it is essential to the body. A natural disinfectant, it has powerful detoxifying effects, and works with the liver to get rid of the toxins in the body. It also purifies the skin and promotes hair growth.
Potassium reduces water retention, balances moisture in the skin and body, nourishes cells, and regulates the nervous system. It reduces skin puffiness, and balances all of the body's moisture.
Calcium strengthens bones and teeth and cell membranes, and clears the skin's pores, enhancing the skin's hydration and balancing the sebum levels. Calcium promotes cell renewal, preventing wrinkles and lines, and reducing risk of skin cancer.
Next is Sodium, an essential mineral for reducing cramps and muscle stiffness, giving relief from soreness and cleansing the skin. It also protects against free-radicals which degenerate the skin,
and it exfoliates and detoxifies the skin, helping cells keep nourished and expel their waste.
Zinc protects the skin from sunburn and windburn when applied topically, and boosts the immune system, fighting off acne and aiding in enzymatic regulation of cell proliferation.
