The mineral-enriched geothermal mud contains a variety of minerals and trace elements that offer numerous health benefits. The mud has a detoxifying and purifying action on the skin, absorbing excess oils and fatty secretions from within the pores, leaving you feeling soft, smooth, and rejuvenated. Additionally, the mud has bactericidal properties through its sulphur content, which kills bacteria and assists in the prevention and elimination of acne. The strong affinity of the mud to moisture in the skin also promotes the regeneration of skin cells.
