How To Use Salt In Your Beauty Routine

It may surprise you when we now tell you about the myriad uses and benefits that you can enjoy if you use salt in your beauty routine. We do not hear much about salt in the media, but it has many hidden benefits that are good for your skin. In this article, we will review some of the things that salt can do for your skin and how to use it as part of a great beauty treatment!

How to use salt in your beauty routine:

As mentioned above, salt has a wide range of uses when it comes to using salt in your beauty routine – especially when applied to the skin.

Scrub

When you stand out of the bath and while the skin is still wet, sprinkle a little salt on your hands and rub it gently out on your arms and legs. Massaging with salt will help remove dead skin cells while improving blood circulation.

Face tones

Then can also try the following trick to reduce oily skin. Put some hot water in a spray bottle and add a tablespoon of sea salt. Wait for the salt to dissolve and make sure the mixture is not too hot before spraying a little on your face. Avoid the area around the eyes. Then gently use a towel to dry with short strokes.

Eye mask

Mix a tablespoon of sea salt in a bowl of warm water. Dip a cotton swab into the water, lie down, and place the cloth over your eyes for at least 10 minutes. Make sure you do not open your eyes to avoid irritation. Rinse well with cold water.

Foot bath

After a long day at work, you sometimes get tired feet. Salt can be the solution to fatigue and heel pain. All you have to do is add three or four tablespoons of salt to a foot bath of warm water. Keep your feet in the bath until the water temperature becomes lukewarm.

Scalp scrub

Salt is great when it comes to fighting dirt and grease. Before this treatment, we recommend that you first check your scalp thoroughly to make sure you do not have any small sores or scratches. Then take a salt shaker with you under the shower, and, before using shampoo in your hair, sprinkle some salt on your head and massage it gently into the scalp. It is important not to rub too hard so that the salt does not scrape the scalp and cause small wounds.

Hair mask

Salt can be used to remove hair products that one cannot get out of the hair properly. Mix one cup of Epsom salt with one liter of water and 2 decilitres of lemon juice and let the mixture stand for 24 hours. The next day, rub the liquid through the hair while it is completely dry. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then wash your hair as usual.

Something more “sophisticated”:

Whiskey and salt therapy

This treatment is made using sea salt, whiskey, coconut and palm oils, as well as wheat. It helps to improve skin tone and maintain healthy, smooth hair. The cure is especially good for men, although women can use it too.

Salt and champagne therapy

This treatment is made with mountain salt, champagne (or sparkling wine), as well as coconut and palm oil. You can add cedar scent to stimulate blood circulation and remove orange peel, as well as remove fluid retention. The treatment helps to restore the skin’s tissues, which reduces the signs of aging.

Salt and winter therapy

This treatment is an excellent antixoidant, and like champagne and salt therapy, it is great for preventing premature aging. It also helps to regenerate tissues, and strengthens the cardiovascular system. It is made from mountain salts, red wine and coconut and palm oil.
