Salt has been traditionally used to treat acne scars. Mind you, I am not talking about the table salt we eat; the table salt is rather a processed salt which goes through many processing cycles before it is made available on our table, and during those cycles, it loses much of its natural strength. Nope, I am talking about 'mined salt'!
What is a 'mined salt'? Well it is the raw, natural salt found in sea, so f you live near the sea, you have got a free acne scar remedy at hand; if not, then you would want to buy it from your local market. Good news is that mined salt is usually cheaper than table salt (at least it is in where I live)! If you have not ever purchased mined salt, ask for the Himalayan Pink salt; sure, any kind of mined salt should do well, but this is one of the most well-known varieties available!
So how to apply the treatment? Pretty simple really! First you need a bowl of warm (lukewarm) water and pour the salt into it. Why warm water? Because it offers three major advantages over cold water: it helps the salt dissolve properly into the solution; it makes your skin more receptive to the concoction by opening up the pores of your skin - thus helping your skin absorb more of the essential nutrients present in the salt water solution you have prepared; last but not the least, when you message your face using warm water, it feels much more better than with cold water - don't you think so? Oh, you would also need a clean cotton pad (or ball) - obviously, you would soak the cotton ball into the solution and then message it gently on to the affected area!
