Cons:
Made my face dry. Might be a little too harsh to people with sensitive skin
It's a good alternative. It's very cheap and there's no chemical side effects. If your face can handle it, do it.

Pros:
Great exfolliant (especially when used with olive oil - 1-2 teaspoons of each, mixed).
Cheap and easy to get.
Cons:
Gave me tiny zits on my forehead.
Wouldn't recommend it as a mask because it is aggressive.
Use it as exfolliant (preferably with olive oil) 2-3 times a week. Avoid areas where it gives you irritation or, like in my case, tiny zits (on the forehead).

Pros:
-inexpensive
-calming
-sloughs off dead skin
Cons:
-stings if rubbed in
-must be gentle with it
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:
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
You can always try, but it didn't work for me. It's messy, too.

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.
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!

Pros:
cheap, easy, convenient
Cons:
my skin gets irritated for about 30 min. - 1hr after application
It works. Skin feels soft, supple, non-oily, and looks smoother. It won't rid of your acne completely, but is nice to add to your regimen.

Pros:
Cheap, natural, easy to use!
Cons:
Make sure it is real sea salt! Not table salt!
I steam my face twice a day with warm sea salt water. The I usually rinse my face off with a little sea salt water and let it air dry. I actually completely stopped washing my face with soap in favor of sea salt steaming. I have very oily skin and any kind of soap/face wash I've ever used dries it out temporarily but then the oil comes back with a vengance. Sea salt on the other hand keeps my skin oil free for most of the day. It's not going to cure your acne all on its own, but it definitely should be part of more peoples' acne regimens!
Pros:
Kills bacteria. cheap. Convenient, since I live at the beach. Can be used as an exfoliater but you have to be VERY gentle
