Having heard a lot about Dead Sea Spa Magik<\/a> products and their healing properties, I was keen to indulge in their proffered spa standard experience in the home. With a wide range of products on offer, I chose their new Algimud face mask (apparently used by model Caprice) for a little deep-cleansing, and decided to complete the facial with their Rich Moisturiser to soothe my winter-weathered skin.<\/p>\n

Algimud Active Seaweed Mask<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AlgimudDead Sea Spa Magik\u2019s Algimud face mask combines natural alginate seaweed with Dead Sea mud. Containing an array of pure Dead Sea minerals and no parabens, it comes in a powder form purchased in individual sachets.<\/p>\n

The contents of the sachet are mixed with 75ml of cold water and quickly applied with \u2018a spatula or similar instrument\u2019 the directions tell me. Hmm\u2026 Never one to deviate from instructions, I mix the two in a kitchen measuring jug and lash it on with a baking spatula \u2013 much to the joy of those who share my kitchen utensils.<\/p>\n

The mask develops a clay-like consistency almost immediately. Slathered on generously it covered both my face and neck, and despite going on quite lumpy the surface soon smoothed out of its own accord. The ensuing fragrance was subtle but pleasant \u2013 somewhere between light florals and salt water.<\/p>\n

Like the fragrance, the sensation induced by the mask is subtle but thoroughly refreshing giving a slightly cooling tingle. Left on for just under 20 minutes, the mask peeled off easily and left my skin feeling very gently tautened and silky soft to the touch. A faint soothing tingle lingered on for awhile after, much the same way a professional facial administered in a spa would do. All in all, an invigorating experience with lovely results.<\/p>\n

RRP:<\/strong> \u20ac4 for 25g or \u20ac17 for 300g
\nAvailable from:<\/strong> Select health shops and chemists or from www.oceanhealthstore.com<\/a> and www.evergreen.ie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rich Moisturiser<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rich A splash of cold water later, it is recommended that you follow the Algimud mask with a dab of moisturiser. The Dead Sea Spa Magik Rich Moisturiser goes on quite thick and creamy, but is still pleasantly light and easily absorbed unlike many intensive moisturisers intended for dry skin.<\/p>\n

My skin was left feeling replenished and re-hydrated, making it both a perfect follow-up to the mask and a nice base for applying make-up the next day. The moisturiser contains UVA and UVB protection along with the anti-ageing mineral calcium and a number of other beneficial minerals. Like the mask, it is paraben free and contains certified organic ingredients, an innovation that I can both see and feel working its \u2018Magik\u2019 on my skin!<\/p>\n
