Brace yourselves. I'm about to go off on how much I love sea salt. I'm not a fan of eating salt, unless it's on some McDonald's french fries, in which case I can go to town on some salt, but I am a fan of using salt on my body. Actually, I am a fan of using it all over my body.
I have weird, sensitive skin and autoimmune disorders associated with it (no, not psoriasis, even weirder ones), so I have to be careful what I put on my body. When I shave, I almost certainly will get bumps on my legs, no matter how much shaving cream, coconut oil, or steam I use. My scalp is going to itch from the shampoo regardless of the brand, cost, or scent (or lack-thereof). I might as well not even try to use soap in the folds of my skin, because they will scream at me the next day.
All of this changed when I discovered sea salt. I now use it for literally everything in the shower. I scrub it on my legs after shaving and prevent razor burn, I scrub it on my scalp after shampoo and have an amazing head of hair afterward, along with a squeaky-clean scalp. And I scrub it on my body when I need to exfoliate and let it work it's magic. I use it straight from the jar, which I keep in the shower, and let it burn as I rub it in. Then I rinse it down the drain and admire my smooth and silky skin/hair. I feel like I've discovered some secret wonder of the earth or something, but really it's just plain 'ol sea salt that you buy at the grocery. Sometimes I use course salt, and sometimes I use fine salt, I don't even have a preference.
If you have skin troubles or are just looking for a natural, healthy way to good skin, I recommend trying sea salt and adding it to your daily routine. Let me know how you like it in the comments below! xoxo Courtney
