Dead Sea
Two mineral soap bars and the pair sold together. The simplest thing in this shop, and we are honest about what that means.
What these are
Bar soaps made with Dead Sea mud and Dead Sea mineral salt. The mud bar is described by its maker as suiting normal, dry and oily skin and as clearing impurities from the surface. The salt bar is described as cleansing and exfoliating through the salt itself. There is a package holding both.
They are the least clinical products on this site, and we would rather say so here than let the surroundings imply otherwise. Nothing in this range is a medical-grade formulation, there are no actives in the sense the rest of the shop uses the word, and buying one is not a step in a treatment plan.
The Dead Sea range
A mud bar, a mineral salt bar, and both together.
Who they actually suit
People who like them, which is a real reason and the honest one. They are pleasant, uncomplicated bars that plenty of our patients have used for years, and the salt bar in particular tends to get used on the body rather than the face. If that is what you came for, it is here.
What they are not is an answer to a condition. If you are managing acne, rosacea or pigmentation, a soap bar is not going to move it, and we will tell you that rather than sell you two.
What to pair them with
If you use one on your face, treat it as the cleanse step and build the rest around it: something active in the serum step if your skin needs it, a moisturiser chosen for how dry the bar leaves you, and an SPF every morning regardless. The cleanser category is where to look if you would rather have a face wash chosen for a specific skin type.
Ask us first, if
Your skin is dry or dehydrated, or reactive. A bar soap is not automatically wrong for that, but it is not the obvious choice either, and a cream cleanser usually leaves that kind of skin more comfortable.
You have had a peel or resurfacing recently. Your aftercare names what to cleanse with, and that is not the week to improvise.
