Facials are, by far, the most popular beauty treatment in the world, and over the years, we’ve seen some wacky ingredients used in the procedure. From CBD oil to bee venom, and snail mucus to blood—yes, remember Kim Kardashian’s vampire facial that went viral on social media?—we’ve seen it all. But this time the ingredient is a lot less scary. Salt facials are trending, and we’re totally onboard with it! Salt has a ton of skin benefits, and isn’t icky or gross to put on your skin, thank goodness!
Salt facials involve a three-part procedure, which includes restoring your skin through exfoliation, replenishing it through an ultrasonic massage, and finally, rejuvenating the skin through LED light therapy. If this doesn’t convince you, here are all the benefits of getting a salt facial that are putting it right at the top of our beauty bucket list today. Read on...
- Exfoliates like a dream
- Resets ageing clock
- Helps with inflammation and pain
- Hydrates skin from within
- Improves skin texture and complexion
Exfoliates like a dream
You might think that rubbing salt granules onto your face would hurt like crazy, especially if you have sensitive skin; on the contrary, it is totally painless and suits every skin type. It uses fine Himalayan pink salt that nourishes your skin and exfoliates it, removing dead skin cells and dirt easily and safely.
Resets ageing clock
The procedure helps with reducing ageing signs like wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and pigmentation. It gives your skin a boost of powerful nutrients in the replenishing stage and encourages collagen reformation and cell repair, which ultimately makes your skin firmer and younger looking.
Helps with inflammation and pain
Phototherapy is a part of the facial that uses blue and red LED lights to heal inflamed skin, bruises and muscular pain, and also kills bacteria, in turn fighting acne and other skin issues. The light can be tailored according to your skin type and concerns and leaves your skin flawless and healthy.
Hydrates skin from within
Since salt retains moisture, this facial can help your dry skin feel and look hydrated and plump. The ultrasound stage of the facial provides vital nutrients to your skin that hydrates it from within and makes it soft and radiant.
Improves skin texture and complexion
This three-in-one beauty treatment improves overall health of your skin by targeting skin problems and repairing the damaged skin cells. It rejuvenates and replenishes your skin, giving you an improved complexion and skin texture.
Add this to your list of skin indulgences and your skin is bound to look brighter and feel smoother than ever!
