What is so special about mineral makeup??
Most commercially made make up is made up of chemicals, fillers and/or fragrances. The ingredients they put into makeup actually clog pores, cause acne, creates un-even skin tone appearance, dry skin, and can cost a fortune.

What are the Benefits of Using Dead Sea Salts?


Using Dead Sea Salts...

Question:
Why do you include bath salts in your products?

Answer: Raw Beauty decided to incorporate bath salts into our product line for various rewarding reasons. Bath salts have been administered through spas and in health industries for years. We offer salts to provide a more affordable way to “spa” at home.
Salts remove left over toxins from the skin and help cleanse pores. Using salts in scrubs aid with removing dead skin cells to prepare your skin for new cell growth and provide circulation. Salts also have therapeutic properties, such as cleansing cuts and infections and also speeding up the healing process. Using salts on a regular basis leaves skin smooth, healthy and glowing.

Question: Where do you get your salt from? I saw Dead Sea salts listed. Why are they so special?

Answer: We have tried various salts before we choose to go with Dead Sea Salts, they were our personal favorite.
Dead Sea Salt is a beautiful off white color, which also makes it easy to add natural colors to the salt.
Cleopatra was very dedicated to her beauty routine; her favorite ingredient was using Dead Sea Salt in her spa treatments.
The salts in the Dead Sea contain important minerals that soak into our skin while we bathe. Magnesium is important for easing stress and slowing skin aging. Calcium increases circulation. Potassium relieves stress from the body and balances skin moisture. Bromides ease and relax muscles. Bathing in sea salts helps replenish the minerals that are essential for our skin’s metabolism.

Question: What are the health benefits of salt baths?

Answer: Dead Sea Salts have been used for decades around the world. They originate from the Dead Sea, which contains a very high amount of salt. The health benefits that come from using Sea salt almost seem limitless. Dead Sea Salt is well known for its ability to relieve aches and pains, reduce stiffness after exercise, relax muscles and relieve skin problems such as cuts, infections, acne, eczema and psoriasis.

Question: Are there also emotional benefits?

Answer: Soaking in a warm salt bath is a wonderful way to relieve stress. Using salts in your bath regularly creates radiant, healthy skin. Having healthy skin makes you look and feel better.
Adding fragrance or essential oils can also enrich your bath time by creating a mood. Adding lavender helps you wind down at the end of a busy day. Peppermint can be very uplifting, giving you energy for the hectic day ahead. The possibilities you create by adding fragrances or essential oils are endless.



Question: Tell me about your bath salt products...

Answer: On the Rocks Bath Salts were designed with different ingredients that tailor to each individuals needs. We have added Dead Sea Salts to remove toxins and relieve stress from the mind and body. On the Rocks is also infused with wonderful fragrances to uplift or calm your senses (whatever mood you’re in). We have also added milk and yogurt powder to moisturize and pamper the skin.

Skinny Dipping Salt Scrubs are created with Dead Sea Salts to remove toxins, cleanse pores, remove dead skin cells and provide circulation and stimulation. Our salt scrubs are packed with Grape Seed and Coconut oils that make exfoliating a breeze and to nurture, hydrate and promote healthy skin. We have also added some yummy dessert scents to give your body & mind a real treat.
