To help with oily skin or acne, rinse your skin daily with a sea salt bath solution.

The idea of a sea salt bath originates from the understanding that the ocean has great healing powers. The body is made of around 65% water. Salt water is really much like human blood in its combination of minerals and trace elements and this leads to explain its recovering impacts in the body. The benefits of sea-salt baths are many. A sea-salt bath could eliminate waste products, promote circulation and sustain healthy and balanced skin function. By flushing metabolic wastes and collected liquid out of the tissues, sea-salt baths are favorable in safeguarding against cellulite and edema. Including dried out seaweed to your bath further conditions, restores and moisturizes the skin.

Tip:   Massaging your skin with a loofah or a brush during a bath will enhance the circulatory and detoxifying effects of the sea salt. As an added benefit It reduces the accumulation of water in the tissues, firms the skin slightly and even helps protect against cellulite.

Dead Sea-Salt Bath Recipe

For Skin Ailments

This mixture is especially beneficial for such skin conditions as acne, psoriasis, eczema, oozing poison ivy and poison oak.

1 lb. Dead-Sea salt
3 tbsp. seaweed powder

Thoroughly mix the Dead-Sea salt and seaweed powder in a glass container with a lid. Use up to 1 cup of bath salts in a bath.

For Normal Skin

2-4 effervescent bath tablets
1 lb. coarse or fine sea salt
1 lb. baking soda
5 tbsp. seaweed powder

Crush the bath tablets with a mortar and pestle; then add to the other ingredients. Thoroughly mix in a glass container with a lid. Add up to 1 cup to your bath.

Exclusive Gift Idea

Scented sea salts for the bath, displayed in a decorative bottle, can make a special surprise gift for a friend. You can add dried herbs and flowers for a colorful variation.

1 lb. coarse sea salt
50-60 drops of lavender or rose-geranium essential oil
1/2 cup dried lavender buds or rose pedals

Put the salt and the essential oils in a glass container that can be tightly capped, mix well and let stand for 2 weeks in a dark place. Then arrange the salt and the dried flowers in alternating layers in a glass bottle and cap tightly. Use 8-10 tbsp. of the blend for a tub bath.

Note: For added effect, tint the salt with oil-based food coloring. Mix a small amount of sea salt with whatever colors you prefer, and then mix the colored salt in with the rest.

Application:

Run hot water into your bathtub and dissolve up to 1 cup of sea salt in it. Then add cold water until the bathtub reaches your body temperature (98.6ºF) Bathe for no more than 10-15 minutes; this will keep you from placing too much strain on your circulation. If you have normal to dry skin, rinse before applying lotion, but if you have oily skin, you needn’t rinse off. Apply lotion to your body, cover up well and rest for at least one hour.

Ingredient Benefits:

purple bottleRich in minerals: Sea salt, which is available at most health-food stores, contains a higher mineral content than regular table salt, has not been bleached with chemicals and is believed to be more effective in a bath. Sea salt is obtained by evaporating seawater that has been purified and filtered multiple times. It consists of about 80 percent sodium chloride and 20 percent minerals and trace elements. Salt that comes from the Dead Sea is especially rich in potassium, magnesium, iodine, bromine and sulfur. These substances remove waste products from the body and can help protect against cellulite and edema in the tissues of the skin. Coarse- and fine-grained forms of sea salt are available; both types are effective when added to a therapeutic bath.

Baking Soda for enhanced effects: Adding bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to a sea-salt bath can leave the skin feeling clean and smooth. Baking soda also enhances the stimulating effect on the circulatory system, provides a refreshing quality and helps soothe skin irritations and itchiness. For fizzy bubbles, you can add 3-4 effervescent antacid tablets to your bathwater before stepping in. The tablets will not harm your skin and simply add to a “spa” effect. Baking soda can be purchased at pharmacies and grocery stores; carbonated bath tablets are available in some bath shops.
