Summer Skincare: How Salt Therapy Can Help
(Estimated Reading Time: 2 Minutes )
Summer brings sunshine and a chance to enjoy the great outdoors. However, increased sun exposure and summer activities can really take a toll on your skin. At EPIC Services, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy skin, and we want to share how salt therapy can benefit your skincare routine!
First, let’s discuss the real impact that summer can have on your skin…
Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. It's crucial to protect your skin with sunscreen and seek shade whenever possible.
Dehydration: Hot weather can lead to dehydration, leaving your skin dry and more prone to irritation. Drinking plenty of water and using hydrating skincare products can help combat this.
Sweat and Oil Buildup: Increased temperatures can cause your skin to produce more sweat and oil, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Proper cleansing is essential to keep your skin clear.
Environmental Factors: Factors like chlorine from pools, saltwater from the ocean, and air pollution can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing dryness and irritation.
How Salt Therapy can benefit your skin…
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, involves inhaling microscopic salt particles in a controlled environment, such as a salt room. This therapy offers several benefits for skin health:
Detoxification: Salt has natural detoxifying properties. During salt therapy, the salt particles draw out impurities and toxins from the skin, helping to cleanse and purify it.
Exfoliation: The fine salt particles gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell renewal. This leaves your skin feeling smoother and more radiant.
Hydration: Salt therapy helps to balance the skin's hydration levels by attracting moisture to the skin. This can alleviate dryness and improve overall skin texture.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Salt has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It can help soothe irritated skin (& mild sunburns), reduce redness, and combat conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Improved Circulation: The microcirculation in your skin can be enhanced by the mineral-rich salt particles, promoting healthier and more vibrant skin.
We would recommend Salt Therapy weekly or biweekly for those seeking to maintain a solid routine. At EPIC Services, we offer a Salt Room Experience and/or a Salt Booth Experience. While both offer a wonderful experience to get salted, we personally recommend the Salt Booth if you have specific skincare goals! The Salt Booth is a 15-minute private session for individuals. In the booth, a higher quantity of salt particles tend to land on the skin and clients have the opportunity to have more skin exposed behind the privacy curtains where the booths are located.
By integrating salt therapy into your routine, you can enjoy the summer while keeping your skin healthy and radiant. At EPIC Services, we're dedicated to helping you achieve optimal skin health and overall wellness. Schedule your salt therapy session today and experience the benefits for yourself! Book Here
