Has anyone had a reduction in sebum by upping the salt intake?

For example eating some salt throughout the day, or taking the salt with warm or cold water?

Something like in this old thread: https://www.acne.org/messageboard/topic/230872-eat-more-salt-non-refined-non-iodized-get-rid-of-acne-in-a-few-days/

I've never heard of salt being helpful for acne or oily skin. I would definitely not add salt to the diet because over the longer term it can raise your blood pressure and cause strokes! Most people should be reducing salt intake rather than raising it.
