Dead Sea Skin Care Include Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant. Unlike other mammals (with the exception of apes and guinea pigs), human beings do not produce vitamin C in their bodies.
Types of vitamin C:
There are two types of vitamin C:
· Ascorbic acid, excesses of which are flushed from the body within three hours
· Ester-C, which dissolves in the body over an eight-hour period
Vitamin is the most unstable of all vitamins. It easily oxidizes, and its strength is damaged by exposure to light, heat and air, which stimulate its oxidizing enzymes.
Amounts of vitamin in the body decrease as a result of:
· taking aspirin.
· using birth-control pills.
· taking pain-killers.
· smoking.
· cooking.
Sliced and cut vegetables loose up to 50% of their vitamin C within three hours.

Rough skin is caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells on the skin surface. These cells are naturally eliminated from the body by a sloughing process in which the new cells push the old cells towards the skin’s surface. The old cells slough off, leaving the new cells exposed. However, the sloughing process is not always successful, and the surface may remain rough and without vitality. Exposure.. |
 Sunscreen preparations must block ultra-violet rays, both UVA and UVB. The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of the sunscreen must be 15, or higher. A person using a Dead Sea Sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will be exposed to an amount of the sun’s burning rays after 15 hours that he would be exposed to after one hour without protection. |

This glandular production is important to the hydrolipid system. Similarly, babies and young children may also suffer from.. |
