PRODUCT REVIEW: Dead Sea Mud Mask Mineral Youth by Maple Holistics

I've used this Dead Sea mask twice so far, and I have to say, I'm kinda hooked on it! :)

It does not have a bad odor, it goes on smooth, dries completely in about 15 minutes, and washes off very easily. My skin was very smooth afterward. 

I recommend this product to anyone who loves to do masks!

Formula and Benefits

Pure Dead Sea Mud: The Dead Sea in Israel is the most saline body of water in the world, with a mineral concentration of approximately 32% (Ben Gurion University, Dead Sea Research Center). Mud from the Dead Sea has a high content level of salts and minerals that are claimed to be essential for the face and body.

German Chamomile: Known to be nature’s most effective anti-inflammatory, German Chamomile is naturally rejuvenating and helps reduce inflammation. German Chamomile also contains traces of lithium to assist in calming the nerves and reducing stress.

Lavender: This highly popular oil in the world of aromatherapy contributes compounds which work well with the minerals of the mud and helps attain maximum absorption.

Green Myrtle: This valuable asset oil is reputed to be the single most effective essential oil against oily skin. Many skincare products skip over this ingredient due to its high production costs; this formula does not compromise for any cheaper and less effective alternatives.

Clary Sage: The aromatherapy aspect is heightened with the addition of Clary Sage, which helps deliver an herbaceous and relaxing scent while complementing the positive benefits on facial skin.

Biodeynes EMPP: The extracellular matrix of human skin is comprised of collagens and elastic fibers, the latter of which elasticin is a primary component. This beneficial ingredient promotes collagen and elasticin in the skin, for loss of elasticity in the skin causes sagginess and wrinkles.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Adovia Sulfur (facial) Soap

I used this on a daily basis for several days. It's very gentle on my face, neck and shoulders. It barely has any odor whatsoever. It is very mild, foams a little, rinses off well, and leaves my face soft. 

At my age of almost 48, I must use a moisturizer, so I did follow up with my usual.

It did not smell like it had sulfur in it which is wonderful, it did not have flecks of 'scrubbies' in it, nor did it sting my face, of which I am sensitive to things like that. 

Personally, I do not see a change in my acne levels, but I am in perimenopause, so everyone will get different results. I do like this as a regular, facial cleaning soap and will continue to use it until it is gone. I do suggest that you go ahead and try it!

(09-11-2014, 210 lbs starting weight, post bathroom, pre breakfast: I started using it this morning before I had my coffee and a chicken biscuit from Chickfila which I rarely eat in the a.m., so that was a good 'testing' time to start! You take 1 tab twice a day 30 minutes before meals. That was always hard for me to do when I worked outside the home and was trying to lose weight, but now I work from home and can control time! Muahahaha! Well, inside my own home at least...)

(09-11-2014, I started using this today before I headed out the door on an errand this morning. It has no odor, does not sting the skin, and was very clean feeling. It felt strange to NOT use my usual moisturizer after I washed my face... but my face is smooth and I didn't want to compromise the product. I did take photos yesterday of my trouble spots with 'acne')
