| Pros | Reduces blackheads Tightens pores |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can dry skin, so be sure to moisturize after rinsing. |
| Bottom line | I first noticed sea salt's effect on my blackheads when my nose piercing developed hypertrophic scarring and I began doing sea salt soaks every day. Though my nose was red because they were REALLY hot, the scarring disappeared and I noticed the blackheads and clogged pores that I usually have on and around my nose were disappearing. Now I steam my face with this a few times a week and in the morning instead of using a face wash I use my own premade solution of sea salt and water to rinse my face. It works! Try it. |

| Pros | -inexpensive -calming -sloughs off dead skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | -stings if rubbed in -must be gentle with it |
| Bottom line | You should always be gentle when using any exfoliation product, but I am super gentle with this and do not use it everyday because my skin is sensitive from benzaclin/retin-A regimen .. the retin-a constantly makes my skin shed, so I use the sea salt as a rinse and it softens my skin and makes me feel emotionally calmer -- I picture myself being healed in an ocean on an exotic island (far from the realities of brooklyn lol) Whenever I go to the beach I notice firmer, and acne free skin, so I thought why not make pour some sea salt in my hand, add water over it and splash my face a few times.. this naturally pops my zits I NEVER SCRUB, I only splash.. leaves me with noticeably smoother and glowing skin. I lightly scrub the sea salt on my back and KP arms (I know keratosis pilaris on arms and a cystic face,, I don't have the best skin people but beauty is from WITHIN) and the sea salt really helps the KP.. |

| Pros | Easy, cheap, healing, soothing |
|---|---|
| Cons | Messy |
| Bottom line | I use non-iodizined table salt, it's super cheap. I mix 1/2 tps with my mild face wash and gently exfoliate morning and night. I have mixed it with honey to create a mask and wear it while I soak in the tub (messy, but who cares, you're in the bath). I have a highly concentrated solution of salt and water in a bottle. I apply a dab before bed and sleep with it all night. I have very, VERY sensitive skin. Most things cause my skin to react, burn and peal. I have had no problems with using salt. My skin is smoother and far less irritated. It has brought any cysts to head and reduced blackheads and whiteheads |

| Pros | Doesn't dry out face Bumps disappear, come to a head and/or reduce in size Right in my cabinet so it was free |
|---|---|
| Cons | None so far. |
| Bottom line | I use table salt... I didn't know it was a bad choice until coming on here. It doesn't aggrivate my skin at all... I put hot water and table salt in a bowl, bring it to a boil in the microwave, dip a towel in the water, wipe my face then place the towel on my face, pressing it to my forehead. I repeat this till the water is cold, let it xdry then I apply my spot treatment.. So far, so good! |

| Pros | Cheap. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Doesn't work. I used Dead Sea Salt to bathe my face in +- 15 mins a day for about 2 weeks, and saw no real improvement. In fact I had huge breakouts the first couple of days I used it. At first I thought my skin was purging, buy apparently it was not |
| Bottom line | You can always try, but it didn't work for me. It's messy, too. |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | I haven't found any pros yet |
|---|---|
| Cons | Since starting to use Dead Sea Salt I had a huge break out and has not let up one bit a wk later. They are huge cystic like acne and in clusters. Once the white heads are popped it comes right back! I don't think it was ever so bad in my life!!!! |
| Bottom line | Im not so sure if I would recommend it.Price wise would totally be worth the money if it proved to work! |

| Pros | natural, easy to use, dries out acne, doesn't over dry, clears blemishes quickly, inexpensive, effective |
|---|---|
| Cons | need occasional moisturizer, but nothing that can't be solved with an application of moisturizer |
| Bottom line | After spending a couple of days at the beach this past weekend, my face has significantly cleared up so after coming home I decided that I would try to simulate the ocean water with sea salt I found in my cabinets. I made a mixture of sea salt and water which I use as an astringent three times a day and right before I go to bed. In the mornings, I take a pinch of salt and mix a couple of drops of water in the palm of my hand and gently apply to my face. This become a more concentrated version of the astringent. I leave this on for a couple of minutes. Ever since the beach, my face has been consistently cleaner than ever before, not counting those lucky hours before just another acne breakout. |

| Pros | Exfoliates skin; makes it smoother and less bumpy. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It might burn if you scrub harshly, have severe acne, or just sensitive skin in general. |
| Bottom line | It's very good at cleaning your skin and it keeps the whiteheads and blackheads at bay. One table spoon of salt water with just enough water to get it all wet and lather it on your face and leave it on for about 1.5-2 minutes. Maybe try to scrub it in gently, but we don't want any damaged pores! |
