Our bodies contain the same concentration of minerals and nutrients as sea water, so it’s no wonder that sea salt is a natural ally to balance, protect, and restore the body and skin.
One of the major differences between sea salt and ordinary salt is the mineral content: Sea salt is laden with minerals, including magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium, all of which play a key role in our skin's health, function, and cellular communication. When your skin's mineral balance is off-kilter, symptoms such as dryness, dullness, irritation, and blotchiness ensue, especially as the colder, dryer weather sets in. Bringing sea salt from the kitchen into your beauty routine can help balance and improve hydration, strengthen the protective barrier of our skin, and kick-start the cell-to-cell communication signals that slow down with age.
Here’s our top 5 salty selection:
1. Balancing Mask
Both salt and honey have anti-inflammatory properties to soothe skin and calm breakouts and irritation. They also help to balance oil production and retain hydration in the layers of skin where it's needed most.
Try it: Brightening Marine Mineral Mask- a revitalising and oxygenating face mask rich in phytonutrients and minerals. Zeolite and seaweed detoxify and re-energise the skin, whilst the synergy of plant essences effectively firm and tone.
2. Sea Salt Body + Hair Spray
Salt helps to cleanse pores deeply, balance oil production and prevent bacteria that can instigate breakouts and acne.
Try it: Love + Salt Spray is a vegan, volume-enhancing mist that gives hair impossibly sultry beach waves. You can spray it all over your body for beautifully hydrated skin thanks to “good” hydrating salts like Himalayan pink salt!
3. Invigorating Body Scrub
Salt is a gentle natural exfoliate that sloughs off dead skin. It also has minerals to soften skin and restore hydration.
Try it: Sweet Orange Salt Scrub - invigorate, exfoliate & purify your skin with this luxe salt scrub. Trace minerals in salt can help to increase circulation, reduce inflammation & remove toxins. Sweet orange oil promotes the production of collagen & is antibacterial, reducing blemishes. Organic camellia & virgin coconut oil leave your skin feeling soft & hydrated. Take a small amount in your hands & gently rub over your skin in a circular motion for 2-5 minutes. Revel in your silky smoothness.
4. Relaxing Salt Bath
Salt absorbs dirt, grime, and toxins and cleanses your skin's pores deeply. Salt's mineral content helps restore the protective barrier in skin and helps it hold hydration. You may notice that your skin won't wrinkle or prune after a good, long soak in salted water, which is evidence that a salt bath helps your skin retain its moisture. The magnesium in sea salt may also help reduce water retention (i.e., bloating) in the body.
