Simple, because its principle is simple. A long time ago, European sailors were exposed to the sun for a long time, but their skin was always in the best condition. It is the cleaning and therapeutic effect of sea salt that makes sailors' skin repaired in time after being damaged.
Romantic, because all kinds of bath salts are light-colored and transparent crystals, whether they are packed in crystal clear bottles or gradually dissolved in the bathtub to overflow a pool of colors, people are imaginative.
Salt bath is not only a fashion, but also a culture. It not only has a fresh and natural skin care effect, but also pays more attention to the adjustment from the inside out, bringing you the beauty of health and confidence-"only the beauty of makeup, no traces of makeup."
Salt Bath: West and East
The origin of salt bath may be inspired by European sailors. The Dutch extract salt from the deep sea and make it into bath salt for skin care. The French bathe directly in the sea. It is said that French people have charming figure and enviable skin, which is related to their love of bathing in the sea. But bathing in the ocean is subject to various conditions after all. In many western countries, people are used to bathing with bath salts, so that they can enjoy the beauty and health brought by seawater bathing every day.
In foreign countries, eating less salt and using more salt is not only a fashion, but also an idea for people to keep healthy. There are thousands of different kinds of salt in the foreign salt market, and people have a wide range of choices when they consume. Among them, health care salt accounts for more than 10% of consumption salt, while the consumption of health care salt in China is almost negligible. Even in Shanghai, which is at the top of fashion, the proportion is only 2. 1%. The consumption ratio of health care salt in Hangzhou is about 5.2%, ranking first in the country. The consumption level of health care salt has become one of the yardsticks to measure living standards.
In Hangzhou, a city close to the fashion center, bath salt appeared at least three or four years ago. But at that time, bath salts were mostly imported from abroad, which was expensive. They are packed in bottles of various colors and shapes and placed on the counters of commercial buildings, waiting for people to choose. Most buyers are attracted by its beautiful packaging, and most of them just buy it back as decoration. Few people put these small powders in the bathtub for use. Later, Wulin Road, a fashion vane in Hangzhou, also sold this bath salt, and the price was still on the high side. It will take some time for it to really enter people's lives.
In recent years, the fashion of salt bath has gradually become popular, and bath salt coated on the body according to family shower habits has also appeared in China, and the price has also dropped a lot.
Bath salt: external use and internal use.
Girls who naturally love beauty can't help but be attracted by their appearance when choosing bath salts. At first glance, colorful powders or particles with different thicknesses are packed in delicate bottles and jars with soft colors ... I always want to choose my favorite product.
In fact, these bath salts are taken from different depths of seawater, from different countries, and the skin care ingredients are different. Under their gorgeous "appearance", there is also a distinctive "connotation".
The thickness of bath salt texture is related to its purpose and usage. Some coarse-grained crystal salts must be put in a bathtub and soaked in water. Fine bath salts can be directly applied to the face and gently rubbed on the body. Some are suitable for putting into a cloth bag to gently rub the skin during sauna, which not only supplements the lost salt, but also cleans and beautifies the skin. Some are suitable for bathing, put them in cloth bags and hang them on the shower head to achieve skin care effect easily and quickly.
Generally, refreshing bath salt is enough at home, and at most one frosted salt is prepared.
Air conditioning, psychological stress, staying up late ... skin tends to be tight, dry and lose its luster. At this time, you can use natural and refreshing bath salts to soften keratin and play a very good role in soothing and calming the skin. Scrubbing salt can eliminate thick cutin and dead skin, and let you get rid of roughness quickly.
Because other ingredients are different, bath salt will give off different flavors, such as faint petal fragrance and cool mint fragrance ... When choosing bath salt, you should choose it according to your skin type and use, and don't be carried away by its charming color and shape.
Salt bath: right and wrong
Some time ago, it was reported that a couple wanted to try the effect of salt milk bath, so they bought the kind of edible refined salt used for bathing. As a result, their beauty is not perfect and their skin is occasionally damaged. Of course, this has become a joke, but people who use bath salts for the first time will inevitably make some mistakes.
When I first tried to take a bath in the bathtub, I first poured some salt on my hand. Boutique bath salt looks no different from ordinary salt. Particles are small, but they are colored. When applied to the body, it feels like rubbing sand on the body, which is very itchy. Gently rub it a few times, with a little graininess and a little foam. After touching for a few minutes, the salt in my hand began to melt slowly. There was no change except a little cool feeling, so I washed it off with water. Later, I carefully read the instructions on the box and found that I didn't feel it, but I used it wrong. There are many ways to use bath salts, which can be chosen according to different people's habits.
The first method is very simple. After wetting the body, take a proper amount of bath salt and evenly sprinkle it on the towel, or directly smear it on the body, then gently rub and massage it, and then rinse it off with clear water later. In addition, in the process of salt bath, the back skin should be scrubbed with bath salt to prevent skin diseases.
The second method is more suitable for losing weight. Apply bath salt to the obese parts of the body and massage for a long time until the corresponding parts feel hot. Keeping this salt bath for a long time can decompose fat and partially lose weight.
The third method is a bit extravagant. Dissolve 50g bath salt in the bathtub every time, and then soak your body in it for about 15min. It should be noted that the soaking time should not exceed 20 minutes, otherwise the skin will be dehydrated.
Pay attention to the salt bath operation should always be done at the heel, because the first step of skin beauty is to remove roughness and enhance the skin's resistance, otherwise even the best body care oil and cream will not be absorbed and wasted. Therefore, it is necessary to soften and exfoliate as much as possible, so that tired skin can recover quickly.

As bath salts gradually enter the family, there are also bath salts specially for babies and bath salts specially for soaking feet on the market.
The bath salt for babies is basically the same as that for adults, that is, 50 grams of bath salt for children's health care is added to 10 liter of water (about 5 thermos bottles) and the baby is allowed to soak for about 20 minutes. This salt can also be used to treat prickly heat and bring a cool feeling to the baby. And because this salt is pure natural, it doesn't matter if the baby accidentally eats it. Adults can also use this bath salt to wash their faces, because this bath salt is less irritating to facial skin, and regular washing can treat acne on their faces.
Foot bath salt is more popular with the elderly. Because salt water has antibacterial effect, it can be used to treat athlete's foot. A lot of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients are added to the foot bath salt on the market, which can relieve various discomfort of feet. In addition, the salt water in the foot bath can soften the stratum corneum and make the aged dead skin fall off. The high permeability of the salt water solution makes the pores and blood vessels expand, thus enhancing the absorption of Chinese medicine extracts by the feet. In addition to soaking feet, you can also treat stomach pain with hot compress.
