So, what is salt therapy? Salt therapy, or halo therapy, originated from ancient practices that involved spending time in salt caves to promote healing and relaxation. Today, it has become a popular wellness trend, offering a range of benefits for the mind, body, + skin. The therapy involves inhaling salt-infused air or spending time in salt rooms, where the air is saturated with microscopic salt particles.
Here are 5 different reasons salt therapy promotes radiant skin + will help you achieve a glowing complexion for you wedding day:
1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The microscopic salt particles used in halo therapy have natural anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a common cause of skin issues such as redness, irritation, + acne. By reducing inflammation, salt therapy helps calm + soothe the skin, leading to a more even complexion as well as a reduction in redness + blemishes.
2. Exfoliation: Salt particles act as a gentle exfoliant when they come into contact with the skin. They help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, + promote cell turnover. Regular exfoliation encourages a more radiant + youthful-looking complexion, as it reveals fresh, new skin cells. When incorporated salt therapy into your skincare routine you can expect a smoother + brighter complexion, ideal for their wedding day.
3. Detoxification: The salt-infused air in salt rooms helps cleanse the skin by drawing out impurities + toxins. It penetrates the pores, unclogs them, + aids in the elimination of dirt, pollutants, + excess oil. By detoxifying the skin, salt therapy helps create a clean canvas, allowing other skincare products to penetrate more effectively + work their magic.
4. Improved Blood Circulation: Halo therapy enhances blood circulation, which is vital for healthy skin. Improved blood flow delivers oxygen + essential nutrients to the skin cells, promoting a youthful + glowing complexion. The increased circulation also aids in the removal of waste products, giving the skin a rejuvenated appearance. With regular salt therapy sessions, you can ensure optimal blood circulation, helping to achieve that sought-after wedding glow.
5. Stress Reduction: Stress can wreak havoc on the skin, leading to breakouts, dullness, + premature aging. Salt therapy provides a sanctuary of relaxation, allowing you to unwind + reduce stress levels. By promoting deep relaxation + reducing anxiety, salt therapy helps prevent stress-related skin issues. As a part of your self-care routine you can enjoy a more serene state of mind + a healthier complexion leading up to the wedding day.
It's important to note that while salt therapy can offer significant benefits for the skin, it should be used as a complementary treatment alongside a consistent skincare routine. Consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional is recommended to tailor a skincare regimen that suits individual needs and goals.
It should also be noted that as part of the detoxification process you make have some nasal/sinus drainage for the remainder of the day after a secession. So do not schedule on the same day as something wedding important + leave a buffer so there’s no residual drainage issues, blowing the nose etc. This WILL vary person to person + can even depend on the season (like allergy season is worse). I ( Ashley) personally feel like I have the drainage of a cold for a good 24-48 hours…. so heads up + plan accordingly. I invite you to test no where near your actual date. Highly recommend Austin Salt Room if you’re interested.
