Dead Sea Mud vs Regular Mud — What’s the Real Difference?

💭 Introduction

When you think of a mud mask, you might imagine any dark-colored clay drying on your face. But not all muds are created equal. There’s a world of difference between mud scooped from your garden and the mineral-rich mud extracted from the Dead Sea.

In this blog, we compare the properties, benefits, and results of Dead Sea mud versus regular cosmetic clays like kaolin or bentonite—so you know what your skin really deserves.
