Sea
Salt — Rich in vitamins and minerals, sea salt
is very nourishing to the skin. Experts say it works so well
because the seawater has practically the same chemical make
up as human plasma, allowing the body to easily absorb its healing
properties.
"It's perfect for exfoliating problem areas like the back,"
notes Le Petit Spa's Cecilia. |
