Here’s Why You Should Include Salt In Your Skincare Routine
Written by Urvi DalalMay 05, 2020
When you think of all the buzz-worthy skincare ingredients, salt probably doesn’t even feature on that list. Salt as a skincare ingredient? Sounds a little boring, doesn’t it? But even though it may not exactly be a very glamorous skincare ingredient, salt is packed with innumerable benefits for flawless looking skin.
With Epsom salt being used since centuries to reduce pain and swelling, and sea salt being a common ingredient in scrubs and bath bombs, using salt in skincare has an unnecessarily bad rep. Contrary to popular belief, salt does not dry out your irritate your skin but can detoxify, cleanse and exfoliate the skin.
Read on to find out about all the benefits of using salt in your daily skincare routine for smooth and flawless skin.
Salt is a natural exfoliate that gently sloughs off dead skin and brightens the complexion. It’s packed with minerals that soften the skin and restore hydration. However, be gentle while using a salt scrub on the face as the salt particles can end up scarring the face.
Hydrates the skin
Salt is chock-full of organic minerals that work wonders when it comes to improving the appearance of the skin and locking in moisture and hydration. Did you know, replacing refined salt in your diet with high-mineral salt can prevent your skin from wrinkles and dryness? Great, isn’t it?
Detoxifies and cleanses the skin
Salt has natural antiseptic properties; it can detoxify the skin and get rid of dirt and grime. It also deeply purifies and cleanses your pores without irritating the microbiome of the skin. The antibacterial properties of salt prevent the growth of bacteria and keep acne and other types of skin infections at bay.
