Salt Glow
One of the most popular and healthy body treatments currently available is
a salt glow treatment. In this body treatment, the entire body is dampened and
a salt and oil mixture is then spread over your entire body gently either with
your fingertips or a loofah mitt. The salt is gently massaged and scrubbed over
the entire body in small circular motions that begin at your hands and feet
and works towards the heart. A tingling sensation should occur in the skin and
after the entire body is massaged, you should allow your body to absorb the
salt glow treatment completely. After awhile, the salts should be rinsed off
with warm water or with hot towel compresses. During the salt removal process,
it is important not to use any soap as the salt has cleansed the pores more
efficiently than any cleanser. The body should be patted dry, although the application
of a moisturizing remineralizing cream can also be used to enhance the effects
of the salt glow treatment.
Sometimes used in conjunction with fragrant oils, the purpose of the salt glow
treatment is to exfoliate the skin. Body exfoliation leads to the removal of
dead cells from the skin surface and the increase of blood circulation to the
skin. Although some individuals believe that salt glow treatments or other skin
exfoliation methods are an irritating process, in this case the end justifies
the means. Following salt glow treatment, your skin will have a fresh, healthy
glow with a soft and polished feel. Over time, if the treatment is continued,
salt glow will increase the skin’s capacity to absorb moisture and therefore
reduce fine lines as well as acne.
Additionally, salt glow treatment increases the circulation of blood to the
skin and thus improves skin nutrition. Skin nutrition is important for increasing
your body’s resistance to infection and disease. Salt Glow treatment and other
skin exfoliation methods are particularly beneficial before applying a self-tanning
product. By cleaning the surface of your skin you are removing dead cells from
the skin surface, and therefore your skin is now fully prepared to receive all
of the benefits derived from the tanning product.
Another added benefit of the salt glow treatment is the way that it clears
negative energy from the skin and therefore from your subconscious. Energy is
an indicator of a person’s state of mind and is present within their body. If
an individual has a large amount of positive energy, it is reflected in the
way that they act and also the way that they look. Conversely, negative energy
can have a negative effect on a person’s appearance as well as their actions.
Often negative energy becomes stuck on our bodies and can make our bodies feel
heavy. A salt glow treatment is an effective way of remedying this problem and
the effects of salt glow can be compared to the freeing feeling one gets when
they are in the ocean. Salt Glow treatments are therefore effective in eradicating
the negative energy present in our bodies and are an effective method of clearing
one’s subconscious.
When undergoing a Salt Glow treatment it is important to avoid placing any
of the salt mixture on to any broken skin. Although salt glows promote skin
healing, if placed on open wounds or on the eyes, it will cause a burning sensation.
Additionally, caution should be exercised if placing salt glows onto your face.
