Himalayan salt is rich in minerals, containing more than 84 minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron beneficial for both body and skin. Himalayan salt stones are very popular because of their versatile application for skin care, deodorant as well as massage.
Skin care
Himalayan salt contains sodium chloride as well as all kinds of essential minerals and trace elements that have a lowering effect on blood pressure, are vitalising, disinfecting and anti-bacterial. Suitable for skin problems such as eczema and acne, and also for sweaty feet or foot fungus.
How to use: Wet the salt crystal stone as you would a bar of soap and rub it all over your body. Rinse with water, or leave the salt on your skin until the next day and then rinse. After a while the stone will fall apart, and you can use the remains for a foot bath.
Deodorant
The anti-bacterial effect makes Himalayan salt very suitable as a deodorant stone. The salt leaves a protective layer that helps prevent the formation of odour-causing bacteria. A natural, chemical-free alternative to commercial deodorants.
How to use: Wet the stone and stroke under your armpits, just as you would with any other deodorant stick.
Massage stone
Massage with a salt crystal massage stone improves the circulation of skin, muscles and connective tissues. It has a relaxing and detoxifying effect, purifies the skin and makes it soft.
How to use: Warm the massage stone on the warmth of your hands or in a microwave oven (approx. 30-45 sec. at 700 Watt). Massage the larger body surfaces with the flat ends of the massage stone and the smaller body areas with the rounded ends.
To facilitate the massage, a massage oil can also be used (e.g. jojoba oil or coconut oil). However, due to the porous nature of the salt crystal stones, they cannot become oil-free afterwards, so please bear this in mind.
