When it comes to body care, in addition to the already mentioned foot baths, salt serves as an indispensable part
- of shampoo in the fight against oily hair
- of a body scrub, and
- of an exfoliating cream for the feet.
Aid against oily hair
If you are among those troubled by oily hair, we recommend you try adding salt to your regularly used shampoo. Open the bottle of shampoo, pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt, close it and shake the contents thoroughly. Then use the shampoo as usual and you will soon see that the quality of your hair improves and it will not get as oily.
Body scrub
Coarse sea salt can serve as a unique ingredient for a homemade body scrub. Just add 2 tablespoons of sea salt to a jar half-filled with coconut oil and mix thoroughly. Then pour the mixture into a closable container and use it regularly on the whole body. This purely natural scrub has gentle abrasive effects and will clean and rejuvenate your skin.
Foot exfoliating cream
Besides using salt to make a body scrub and a homemade foot bath, you can also relieve your feet by preparing and using an exfoliating cream for the feet. You make it by mixing equal volumes of salt and olive oil. As with the body scrub, it is recommended to store the cream in a suitable, closable container. If you rub this cream into your feet at least twice a week, results in the form of smooth and supple skin will soon appear.
For headaches
So as not to remain only with the use of salt in the bathroom, we have one more useful tip for you. In this case, however, it involves consuming salt, which is not suitable for people who suffer from high blood pressure. However, if you do not have blood pressure problems and need to effectively relieve a headache, fill a glass with clean, cold water and stir in one tablespoon of salt. It is not pleasant, but you will see that within fifteen minutes the headache will ease.
