Beauty experts remind us that ordinary sea salt can be an effective tool in skin care. It is used for baths, peels and masks, as well as for a procedure known for decades - salt washing.
What are the benefits of salt washing?
This procedure helps the skin renew itself, tones and tightens it, reduces oily shine, eliminates peeling and cleanses pores. Experts note that salt washing is a great alternative to scrubs: it provides deep cleansing without mechanical trauma.
How to prepare the solution
For the procedure, it is enough to dissolve one tablespoon of sea salt in 100 ml of hot water. The solution can be stored in a convenient container. Before washing, you need to completely remove makeup. The solution is applied to the face with a cotton pad and left for 5 minutes, then washed off with warm water. Additional gels or foams do not need to be used.
Recommendations for use

If your skin is prone to oiliness, you can use a mild cleanser before the procedure.
-
After washing, you should apply a moisturizer, as salt has a drying effect.
-
The optimal course is 7–10 consecutive days.
Regular salt washing helps maintain clean and healthy skin, making it fresher and firmer.
