SALT AND SKIN – A NATURAL REMEDY FOR HEALTHIER SKIN (ALT)

FEELING OF THE SEA 

Sand against the skin, feet in salty water and a fresh breeze in the air - not just refreshing, but rejuvinating for both body and soul. It's particularly benefical for the body, thanks to a remarkable active ingredient: namely salt. The naturally occurring small salt crystals in seawater gently exfoliate our skin, removing dead skin cells and leaving it with a velvety-soft feel.

In many countries, salt-based skincare has long been a tradition due to its numerous positive effects on our largest sensory organ—the skin. Not seldom used as bath salt in saltwater baths to provide a natural way to nurture and restore the skin.

WHAT POSITIVE EFFECTS DOES SEA SALT HAVE ON YOUR SKIN AND WHY?

One of the most remarkable qualities of sea salt is its natural effectiveness. When used without additives, it nourishes the skin exceptionally well, making it a truly valuable resource. It's no wonder it was once referred to as 'white gold.'

CLARIFYING

We're familiar with it from seaside vacations - our skin feels amazing. This is thanks to its exfoliating effect. Salty water softens the skin, and its fine structure helps remove dead skin cells, providing a clarifying effect. Saltwater leaves the skin looking rejuvinated and fresh.

ANTIBACTERIAL & ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Not only does exfoliation cleanse our skin, but salt is also known to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help prevent the growth of bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of inflammation.

This makes salt particularly useful for people with skin conditions such as neurodermatitis, psoriasis or acne. Its disinfecting properties can soothe stressed skin areas and stimulate faster wound healing. For this reason, dermatologists often recommend bath salts for brine baths. A brine bath is a salt bath containing either table salt or rock salt at concentrations of up to 6%. Even minor skin imperfections, such as blackheads and pimples, can be treated with this natural remedy. 

YOUR SKIN'S MOISTURE LEVELS

Salt contains lots of valuable minerals, including magnesium and calcium which both play an important role in maintaining the skin's moisture balance. When combined with fats, such as those found in creams or nourishing oils, these minerals help skin cells retain  moisture more effectively, leaving skin hydrated and healthy.

SKIN CARE WITH SEA SALT

Sea salt's positive effects on the skin make it an effective help against pimples and acne. If you struggle with blemished or acne-prone skin, you may have noticed how quickly your skin can improve during a seaside holiday. Saltwater can work wonders in reducing pimples and soothing acne, making sea salt a great choice for skin care, especially when combined with an overall healthy lifestyle.

HOW TO USE SALT FOR SKINCARE 

From soothing small inflamed areas, to enjoying a relaxing salt bath, sea salt offers various ways to harness its beneficial properties. However, it's important to use the right amount and consider your specific skin type. Sea salt is commonly available as bath salts, which are particularly helpful in therapies for conditions like eczema, helping to relieve skin issues.
