Saltspring®

Benefits of Saltspring®    

• Bathing, compress, or mist: Dissolved in water.
• Scrub: manual exfoliation of stratum corneum layer of epidermis. Reduces inflammation, controls excessive sebaceous activity, kills bacteria, relieves dry & itchy skin, aides skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema.

Saline solutions are used in hospitals as an antibacterial agent for wounds instead of peroxide due to its gentle yet effective nature.

How to Use Saltspring®  

THERAPEUTIC BATH: Dissolve 2 cups Saltspring® in bath:

• Detoxifying (draw impurities out). Hot but tolerable water & soak 30 minutes.
  
• Rejuvenating (hydrating & rematerializing). Warm body temp & soak 20 minutes.

Add Aromatherapy with a splash of Dermawear™ Tonic. When complete, apply the complimenting Dermawear™ lotion.

Note:  Don’t soak to the point of pruning your fingers & toes. When that occurs, you have lost any hydrating benefits because after a period of time, the water on the outside acts like a siphon and starts to pull hydration from your skin.  This is part of trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).

BODY SPRAYER: Dissolve salt in distilled water or proper toner for skin type. Dermawear™ tonics can be added to further enhance the experience:

• Great to spray the body after a salt glow (especially on a hot day). 
• When complete, apply the complimenting Dermawear™ lotion.

SPORTS STEAM BATH: Steam tent mixed w/Dermawear™ Tonic and handful of Salt:

• Great on sore muscles.
• After workouts.
• Combats colds and the flu.

SALT GLOW: Mix Restore™ Hydrating Lotion with Saltspring® in a 2 to 1 ratio to create a cream exfoliating scrub. Add 2 pumps of Restore™ Hydrating Lotion with every scoop of Saltspring®

• Increased hydration and is good for sensitive skin types.
• Saltspring® is water soluble so don't put too much Restore Lotion, it causes the salts to dissolve.
• Melt scrub into the skin after exfoliation to get full benefits of Saltspring®. 

Massage on client’s body, part by body part - towards the heart. When complete, apply the complimenting Dermawear™ lotion.

PERFECT COMPRESS: Dissolve salt into a bowl of distilled water. Can be done cold or hot (Hydrotherapy). Soak a hand towel in the mixture.

Cold:

• Fold the towel in thirds and place in a freezer-safe container.  Freeze for 20 min and then apply.
• Nicer than the plastic ice packs.  Plus this has minerals infused in it!!!
• Great after sugaring when there is a heightened histamine reaction or grade 3-4 acne.
• Also great for swollen feet.

Hot:

• Fold the towel in thirds and place in a towel warmer or crock pot. Warm for 10-15 min. then apply.

Great as an added touch during a body treatment - especially if client has grade 1-2 acne on the back. Also great for tired muscles, feet or Plantar Fasciitis. Using a warm mineral compress before sugaring an area that has thickened skin and is extremely dry can be helpful by offering an immediate form of hydration and softening of the area to be sugared.  Just make sure that the compress is not hot because that along with sugaring can cause irritation.

Microwave is not recommended for it will "kill" the mineral benefits. 

Advise to soak before their next appointment and discuss The Full Circle of Skin Conditioning Program for ongoing maintenance and success.
