Unlike some masks that are generally OK for everyday use, mud masks should only be used up to three times a week. Their detoxifying-like properties can be too drying for everyday use. If your skin feels overly exfoliated or dry, decrease your use to once a week or once every couple of weeks.
How long do you leave a Dead Sea mud mask on?Leave the dead sea mud mask on for 7 to 12 minutes allowing the mask to slightly dry. If it begins cracking or itching, it's been on too long and needs to be removed. To properly remove the mask, lay a warm, damp washcloth on your face for a few seconds to soften the mud, then rinse remaining mud off with warm water.
Do you apply mud mask to wet or dry skin?A: It's always best to heed the instructions, but if the package simply says to apply to skin, a little dampness will help. “Many masks spread more evenly and some ingredients can better penetrate when your face is wet and warm,” says Boston dermatologist Emmy Graber, MD.
How do you mix Dead Sea mud mask?Dead Sea mud has 26 minerals in it! Mix ¼ cup of the mud with 5 drops of lavender essential oil, 2 drops of rosemary essential oil, and 1 drop of peppermint essential oil. In this case, heat the mud by putting the mud over a pan of steaming water. You want it to be a little bit higher than body temperature.
