Sea Salt

I live in a small coastal town, with 5 beaches in it, so obviously i go swimming in the sea often. Last year during summer (our Australian summer) i realized my skin was looking quite better. Then when we started heading into winter it got a bit worse again. The only thing that had changed was I had stopped going to the beach. So I decided to buy some salt! About 2-3 times a week I will put about a teaspoon of salt into 100mls of warm water. Taking a make up remover pad I'll soak it in the salt water, and gently go over my face for about a minute. I'll leave it on for about 5 minutes, rinse of with cool water, and then moisturise. Seeing as it is so cheap and natural I think it's definitely something worth trying!

I read other reviews on here about sea salt so I decided to try it. My fifteen year old daughter has been having some breakouts. We tried this on her face and it really helped to dry up her acne. We mixed up some Sealyham with warm water and applied it to her face like a toner. We left it on the first night for 10 min. We have applied it every night for about a week and have gradually increased the time we leave it on. Shen left it on last night for about 45 min. It has really helped with her acne. Her skin looks much better. Just make sure to use sea salt not table salt

I would mix warm water and sea salt and rinse face 20 times. gave my face a nice feeling and controlled oil production without overdrying. nice feeling when i wake up...not the usual oil slick. Try it. 2 times a day. if you wear makeup like me, make sure you take makeup of first. I've heard that epsom salt is better...

I am almost 16, have naturally oily skin and had problems with acne since the 7th grade. Days ago I started to use this home rhemedy of sea salt and water, putting it in a spray bottle and spraying my face, leaving it on overnight. It seems to be helping already, aside from the Clean & Clean blackhead eraser scrub... I was wondering though if I should continue on using the facewash or should stick to sea salt water.. It wasn't cheap though and I'm expected to use it.. But I was just wondering.. Any suggestions?

So I've heard a lot of people say that if you have dry skin it isn't a good idea to use sea salt water . However if you make a paste with salt and a spoon full of water and just apply it on the pimples / affected areas then it won't harm the rest of the skin . I had a blind pimple coming up under my nose an had ran out of tea tree oil so I applied a salt water paste onto it and it went , it's a miricale worker to be honest !

It's works amazing when you use it as a spray! You can use it whenever u want and even with you topical gels( that's how I use it) trust me try it it actually works just don't use to much and make sure to only spray it on ur face or it may cause dryness on your neck and moisturize ur face in the mornings before/after u use it

I went to Ross and wandered over to the cooking isle because they usually have dead sea salt. I did not find that, but I found a pinkish sea salt from Hawaii. It is absolutely amazing. It does what I'd imagine a regular sea salt does. My pimples result from fatty foods/excessive sugar, which I found out through trial and error. This does an excellent job of clearing my face after a sugar binge weekend. Beforehand, I wash with my St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser (wonderful, by the way) and then I grind the salt into my hand, wet it a tiny bit, then stipple all around my face. I leave it on for a goo 10 minutes before rinsing. Definitely use a nourishing moisturizer after using the salt because it can leave your face feeling tight. Good luck, darlings! :)

Iv been going to the beach about a week now and i can see that the salt water is reducing my acne by a lot! highly recommend

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!

I first came across the healing effects of sea salt when I went scuba diving in Egypt's Red Sea. When I sat in the sun afterwards, all the salt was left on my skin so I rubbed it all over and my skin was so soft! And the pimples were nearly gone in a few days. So I defo recommend trying this. Yeah don't use table salt cuz it has iodine, and apparently that aggravates pimples.
