Sea salt is an important helper in protecting and restoring the health and beauty of the skin.
While limiting salt in our diet is one of the most common suggestions coming from health experts – as salt can cause hypertension, kidney problems and fluid retention – from a dermatological point of view the use of sea salt in our beauty and skincare routine has many benefits.
See how you can take advantage of the beneficial properties of salt in your daily care:
Balancing mask for oily skin
What will you need?
- 2 teaspoons of sea salt
- 4 teaspoons of honey
We note that both salt and honey have anti-inflammatory actions and soothe irritation, while helping to balance the oiliness of the skin.
Method of preparation and application:
Mix the ingredients well and apply directly to a dry face, avoiding the area around the eyes. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Remove by rinsing with lukewarm water, performing gentle massage movements.
Toning lotion for rejuvenation and freshness
Salt deeply cleanses pores, balances oil and fights bacteria that cause irritation and acne.
Methods of preparation and application:
- Put 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 100 grams of lukewarm water in a small spray bottle.
- Then shake well until the salt is dissolved.
- Spray twice a day on a clean and dry face, avoiding the area around the eyes.
Body scrubber
Sea salt is a deep and gentle exfoliant that removes dead cells from the skin. Due to its content of mineral elements, it contributes significantly to the hydration and nourishment of the skin. It is an ideal choice if you want to restore the normal moisture to your skin.
What will you need?
- ¼ cup of salt
- ½ cup of olive oil
- a few drops of your favourite essential oil.
Method of preparation and application:
Mix well and apply the Diy Natural Salt Exfoliator in the shower with a sponge or with your fingers, using gentle circular movements. Rinse with plenty of water.
