1. Detoxifies
The mud’s gentle pulling action helps gently exfoliate the skin and draw out impurities and toxins, so it’s a perfect part of any holistic health detox plan. It’s also great for oily, acne-prone skin.
2. Increases Circulation
Rich with a high concentration of Dead Sea minerals and trace elements Dead Sea mud is known to increase blood circulation. Like a facial, it stimulates blood flow. Circulation helps bring vital nutrients and oxygen to your cells and carry away toxins and wastes — all essential to healthy and normal cell functioning.
3. Improves Skin Health
Dead sea mud is rich with minerals, like sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium, iron, and calcium.  Therefore, it is very nourishing to the skin. It also naturally softens and moisturizes. So, as you can imagine, it dramatically improves the appearance and health of your skin leaving it more tone, even in texture, and clearer.
4. Treats Skin Conditions
Studies have shown Dead Sea mud is useful for treating skin conditions, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo, especially when used in conjunction with adjunct therapies, such as Dead Sea bathing, moisturizing creams, and increased sun exposure.
5. Relieves Aches & Pains
Dead sea mud is therapeutic and useful for treating rheumatic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It’s also beneficial for fibromyalgia, tendonitis, bursitis, sports injuries, and recovery from orthopedic surgeries. Also, combining treatments with Dead Sea salt, such as Body Glows and Polishes can help you achieve maximum results.

For a Mud Wrap at Darling Esthetics, you also have the benefit of essential oils and sea silt.  This is one of the world's most amazing ancient medicines. It has been used for centuries to balance, detoxify, and tone the body. Historical reports reveal the many uses of sea silt in the treatment of human disease. Even animals have been observed using moor mud for its curative properties. Moor mud is the unique product of time and nature that started with the retreat of the last Ice Age. A very fertile valley brimming with plant life was formed and isolated from the rest of the world. These plants became submerged under a lake formed by the melting glaciers. Over time, this area became a rich, live deposit of organic substances with all of the properties of the plants intact. Analysis of moor mud shows that it contains over 1000 organic botanicals, trace minerals and elements, enzymes, natural anti-biotics, vitamins and phyto-hormones.
Sea Silt is being rediscovered today by the world's best naturopaths, and it is being used to heal a wide range of disorders. It is seen on the menus of the world's finest spas for complete body care. In addition to its cosmetic use as a natural exfoliant, detoxifier and cellulite reducer, moor mud can be used in poultices to reduce swelling, reduce inflammation, draw out abscesses, and to promote healing with minimized scar formation.

What to expect from a wrap

You'll undress and change into disposable attire. Spa therapists are great at preserving their clients' modesty.  Next, you receive to an exfoliation or scrub to slough away dead skin cells. 
Once your skin has been prepped, your therapist will apply a therapeutic body mask to your body. The content of the mask used depends on the treatment you have chosen. Mud and clay, algae and seaweed, and herbal pastes are common, but fresh fruit, aloe vera or paraffin wax are not unheard of, either. Many spas have their own signature body wraps, from the exotic to the just plain edible. 
After applying the mask to most of your body, your therapist will swaddle you in a plastic sheet and towels, and/or a thermal blanket, and leave you to rest for around 20 to 40 minutes. 
The heat of the wrap will relax your muscles, open your pores and encourage sweating. So, to keep you comfortable, you might have a cold compress placed gently on your forehead.
When you're freed from your cocoon, don't expect an immediate butterfly-like transformation. You might feel quite cold and soggy at first without your thermal blanket -- so the rinse afterwards will be welcome. After the mask is removed your therapist massages moisturiser into your newly reborn, healthy skin.
In conclusion, there are many health and beauty benefits to mud wraps.  For centuries people have harvested it's powers and today still do.  As we learn more about Dead Sea Mud, the more benefits we find within it.
