Do It With A Pinch Of Salt

Everything you’ve heard about how salt interacts with your body, has probably led you to avoid it—food or otherwise—like the plague. Now, while there’s no denying that salty foods can make your face look puffy if you eat too much of it, you’re probably wondering whether using it on your skin can have a similar effect. The truth is, a slather of salt on your skin can actually do you a world of good, giving you that illuminating glow you’ve been looking for.

WHY SALT?

Our bodies contain the same concentration of minerals and nutrients as sea water, so it’s no wonder that sea salt is a natural ally to balance, protect, and restore the body and skin. One of the major differences between sea salt and ordinary salt is the mineral content: Sea salt is laden with minerals, including magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium, all of which play a key role in our skin's health, function, and cellular communication.

When your skin's mineral balance is off-kilter, symptoms such as dryness, dullness, irritation, and blotchiness ensue, especially as the colder, dryer weather sets in. Bringing sea salt from the kitchen into your beauty routine can help balance and improve hydration, strengthen the protective barrier of our skin, and kickstart the cell-to-cell communication signals that slow down with age. Here are some beauty benefits of salt:
