When it comes to indulging in some nourishing self-care, nothing beats a soothing soak in the tub with Dead Sea salts! They have a multitude of skincare benefits and are also incredibly effective in relieving stress and tired muscles. We’re sharing our favorite things about this wonderful nutrient-rich salt, and why you need to use it in your own self-care routine.

What Are Dead Sea Salts?

Dead Sea salts actually do come from the Dead Sea, like their name suggests. These magnificent salts contain 21 minerals not found anywhere else in the world—minerals like magnesium, calcium, chloride, potassium, sodium, and bromide. These powerful minerals are best known for relieving aching, tired muscles, arthritis, and even symptoms of fibromyalgia.

While you can travel all the way to the Dead Sea to soak in its goodness, you can use Jordan Essentials’ Dead Sea Salts to enjoy the benefits right in the comfort of your own tub.

Jordan Essentials Dead Sea Salts
At Jordan Essentials we take our Dead Sea salts seriously! We “power up” the soothing effects of our Dead Sea Salts by adding extra magnesium and stress-relieving essential oils, like peppermint or lavender. Our proprietary formula is a custom blend of Dead Sea salts you won’t find anywhere else! The natural minerals and added magnesium are most beneficial and produce a rejuvenating and revitalizing effect on the body.

Why We Use Dead Sea Salts
One of the most common reasons for using Dead Sea salts is to heal tired, achy, and sore muscles. Even if your muscles aren’t sore, you can benefit from soaking in Dead Sea salts for their relaxing effect on the body and the mind. But what many people don’t know is that they are also beneficial in improving your skin too!

Dead Sea salts detoxify the skin and remove impurities, giving the skin a fresh, younger appearance. Packed with minerals – they will work together to enhance skin hydration, removing flakiness and the ashy, dry appearance we so often get after a day out in the sun and sand. Minerals like calcium, potassium, and zinc especially help relieve itchy skin.

4 Ways To Use Dead Sea Salts

Here are 4 ways to use Dead Sea salts at home and reap the benefits of these much-needed minerals!

    1. Take a “spa” bath: Add about a ¼ cup of Dead Sea salts to your warm bath. If you prefer to create your own essential oil blend, then use our Unscented Magnesium Dead Sea Salts. Just add a drop of two to of your favorite oil your salts and mix before adding them to your bath. Or try one of our therapeutic essential oil blends, like Peppermint, Lavender & Eucalyptus, or Oatmeal Milk and Honey.
    2. Make your own foot soak: Add 2-3 tablespoons of our Dead Sea salts to a foot bath of warm water and allow the salts to_C2A0529.jpg completely dissolve. Get comfortable and let your feet soak in the water to heal. The minerals will be absorbed into your skin, treating both your tired feet and body by replenishing it of depleted minerals.
    3. Use to soothe dandruff: Yep. Dead Sea salts can even diminish dandruff! Simply combine 1 tablespoon of our Unscented Magnesium Dead Sea Salts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Massage the mixture into your scalp and wait 5 minutes. Then rinse well and wash your hair with Moisturizing Shampoo. The mineral components give the scalp a deep cleanse, combating the bacteria and yeasts that cause flaky skin and dandruff. The salt acts as a natural exfoliator, scrubbing away dead skin cells and buildup. Make sure you finish with our Daily Conditioner to seal in the hydration!
    4. Heal your nails and cuticles: Soak your nails in a mixture of 1 teaspoon Dead Sea salts, 1 drop lemon essential oil, 2 tablespoons water, and ½ teaspoon olive oil. Combine the ingredients well and soak your nails for 5 minutes. Then scrub them with a nail brush and rinse well.

There are so many wonderful benefits to using Dead Sea salts for your skin, your body, and your mental health. It’s time to take a trip to the Dead Sea (aka your bathtub!) to reap all the benefits of our favorite self-care ritual!

Summer means fun in the sun, and that can lead to dry, damaged skin! Sunburns, dry skin, bug bites, and more – there’s no shortage of skin problems that can happen once we start enjoying more time outside. But, we have the perfect solution! Shea butter is our (not so) secret ingredient for summertime skin relief.

First, let’s take a closer look at what shea butter is. Extracted from the nuts of the African Karite tree, shea butter is a fat. It’s packed full of vitamins and fatty acids that make it perfect for nourishing and conditioning skin. 

It’s also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to your skin, shea triggers cytokines and other inflammatory cells to slow down their production. This can help soothe irritated skin caused by environmental factors like wind, sun, and dry weather.

Shea butter is rich, thick, and concentrated – to penetrate deep into the layers of your skin and keep that moisture locked in. Wondering how you can use this naturally-powered ingredient in your skincare routine? Here are a few ideas!

Shea Butter is a wonderful gift from the earth that provides an abundance of natural relief. You can see why we love to include it in many of our products! But don’t just take our word for it. Here are some customer testimonies sharing the amazing relief they have found in their Jordan Essentials Shea Butter products.

“We have tried so many things for my daughter’s eczema. This stuff worked like a charm and my hubby loves it for his feet too. It’s amazing.”

“My dad had skin cancer and had skin removed. I gave him some Skin Relief to use and he said it was the best, and you can hardly see his scars.”

“The ingredients in Shea Body Butter have phenomenal power–power to heal, power to relieve pain, power to soften and soothe. With one try, I experienced relief from my dry, cracking, bleeding hands. For the last two years this has kept my hands healthy and smooth. I also use Shea Body Butter on aching muscles and knees. It’s like gold to my skin!”

Here at Jordan Essentials we like to clean our homes with natural products, but we also like to get the whole family involved! You know what they say – many hands make light work!

Here are some of our favorite ways to make cleaning day more fun and efficient for the whole family.

Make a list! Before you begin, talk a walk around the house with your family and make a list of every task that needs completing. Include everything from folding the laundry to sweeping the kitchen to tidying the playroom to cleaning the bathrooms.

Assign jobs! Make sure that your list includes a handful of tasks suitable for each age in your family, and then assign every member their tasks for the afternoon. For younger children, it is always beneficial to incorporate some visual aspects for their tasks. It can be as simple as writing their tasks in a unique color on a dry erase board. They also will be more effective when they are given specific tasks. For example – ‘Clean your room’ can be overwhelming for a toddler, but ‘put your shoes in your closet,’ and ‘put your pillows on your bed’ will be easier for them to grasp.

Provide supplies! Once jobs are assigned, determine what supplies everyone will need to accomplish their cleaning tasks. For little ones in specific, they love having their own tools. Here are some age-appropriate supplies and tasks.

Keep your home clean and healthy with non-toxic cleaning products.

Old socks for dusting: Throw old socks on your little one’s hands, and have them go around the house dusting shelves, tables, blinds, and anything they can reach. If the dust and allergens give them the sniffles, simply use our Allergy Magnesium stick under their nose (children 2+).

Broom for sweeping: An adult may want to handle the mopping, but allow your child to practice sweeping at whatever age you deem appropriate.

Green and Clean for the kitchen table and other surfaces: Although Green & Clean is safe enough for a nursery, save this task for older children capable of spraying and wiping down surfaces. It can be used on everything from doorknobs to toys to cell phones and more!

Healthy Home Cleaner for the bathroom: Use the power of Tea Tree Oil to clean the sink, bathtub, tiles, and more! When it comes to cleaning the bathroom, save this task for someone 10+.

Offer rewards! It’s amazing what a small reward can do for the motivation of a child and teen alike, so determine a fair reward for their complaint-free afternoon of cleaning beforehand. This can be anything from more screen time to sweet treats to a trip to the local zoo!

For younger children, you can also hide small rewards in the laundry or any area they may clean, so they can find these as they go. This can be chocolates or tokens they can turn in for rewards (books, toys, movie afternoon, etc)! Be creative and tailored to the likes of your children.

Make it competitive! Make cleaning fun by setting competitive time goals to reach. This is a great way to incorporate some tunes. Play your child’s favorite song, and see if they can finish cleaning their room before it ends. You can also give each child a bucket, and have them collect toys or dirty laundry for the duration of a song. Whoever has collected the most items at the end, wins!

Maintenance routine! After a successful afternoon of cleaning, create a set list and routine that the family is expected to participate in as often as deemed necessary. Of course, you can also create smaller lists that can be completed more frequently such as weekly or even daily.

Every family is different, so it may take some time to figure out what works best within your home. Our best advice is to have fun and be confident that when you use Jordan Essentials products, you are using natural and safe products for the whole family.

Our faces are a reflection of how we’re doing, whether or not we’re feeling well, and they tell others whether we’ve been stressed and not getting enough sleep, or whether we’re well-nourished and taking good care of ourselves. Let’s be real—we’ve all been all over the spectrum when it comes to how healthy our faces are.

One of the best and quickest ways to take care of your face is to use a face mask. We especially love our Purifying Charcoal Mask for removing impurities and toxins from the skin’s surface as well as deep in pores. It also helps your skin retain its natural moisture as the good stuff soaks in!

This week, reset your skin, reboot your health, and pamper yourself with some much-needed self-care by setting aside some time to indulge in a soothing face mask. Face masks are great because they require you to take a break from your busy life and just enjoy the benefits of skincare.

We recommend cleansing your face first, applying a mask, and then finishing up with a rejuvenating face mist!

Here are 5 ways you can practice self-care this week to heal both your face and your entire being!

1. Purify your skin with charcoal: Our Purifying Charcoal Mask is a fun and effective face mask for ridding your skin of impurities and giving you a deep cleanse. This relaxing ritual will not only refresh your skin health, but it will also give your face a bright, youthful glow. And who doesn’t need that midweek?!

2. Pick up a book: When was the last time you read a book cover to cover? With so many binge-worthy TV shows, it can be hard to set aside time for reading, but giving your eyes and your face a break from the harsh light of a TV or computer screen is great for improving your wellbeing. Instead of turning on the TV, pick out a book that you’ve been dying to read!

3. Cleanse & detoxify your skin: Use the Detoxifying Clay Mask to give your face a deep cleanse and pull pollutants from your pores. This bentonite clay mask is beneficial for all skin types, and it can even be used as a blemish spot treatment! This means you can truly revive and heal your skin and step into the week with a fresh, radiant face!

4. Say Om! This week, settle into savasana and take a break from doing anything at all. Whether you practice yoga or meditation, or you prefer to simply stretch and lie down, practice some form of gentle movement and follow it up with stillness in silence. This will do wonders for your mind and your body.

5. Turn up the music: When it comes to self-care, you may hear the same things over and over again, but we’ve got something new for you to try. Turn up your favorite song and just dance! Grab your loved one …or your furry friend, and get moving. You may feel silly at first, but dancing will invite laughter and will relieve so much stress and tension from your body and your mind.
