Does anyone use Dead Sea Salt on their face? I notice that it mostly just melts, before ever becoming an effective scrub, which is fine by me, since I don't like the idea of scrubbing with anything harsh like that, especially on my face.
I just applied some and let it dry, then rinsed off, but I'd just done a yogurt/sea kelp masque, so its hard to tell what the effects were. I like that it melted to a creamy consistency, and oh boy, can you taste the minerals! (tasted by accident).
On wiki, after a bunch about how it can treat common skin ailments (none of which I have), it said:
"Further research into Dead Sea salt benefits has shown a 40% reduction in the depth of wrinkling."
I've had some sitting here for a while, so I'd like to use it this way instead of throwing it in a bath. Does anyone know whether its worth applying for general skin health? Has anyone done any formulating with it? I'd kind of like to combine it with something else I already use... vitamin c... topical MSM... green tea spritz, maybe. Could anyone tell me if they can see any potential benefits or risks (in mixing them with the former), or even if using it this way is just not worth it? |

| I've never tried dead sea salt on the face, but dead sea clay masks are excellent. |

I have never tried Dead Sea salt, but I love Dead See Mud which has a high concentration of sea salt. It is excellent for removing blackheads from the nose and tightening the pores.
Dead sea salt is supposed to be good for exfoliation as it also infuses the skin with minerals. |

| I have never tried dead sea salt for my face, but as i have listened and read it is considered to be one of the best skin care ingredient. |

If you take a look at Makeup Alley; there is a few people that used sea salt in a mask.

It makes sense to me that it *could* work; as my teenage soon who has eye brow piercing was advised by the studio to use sea salt to help heal it.
I personally think it would be harsh as an exfoliate for the face. |
