After skin fasting, skin cycling and moisture sandwiching, skintellectuals are trying and testing salt water cleansing, the newest skincare trend doing rounds on social media.
As the name suggests, the trend involves mixing up salt and water to form a face spray that apparently helps treat acne and other skin conditions. But does it really work? Let's find out!
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, salt might act as a natural cleanser that balances oil production and removes clogged pores. But according to skin experts, using salt water daily has more damaging effects than curing. It can dehydrate the skin and create unnecessary oils that may lead to breakouts.
So, it's better to enjoy salt only in your food and keep it away from your skin!
