SALT

Salt is not just a kitchen staple; it has a variety of practical uses for cleaning and beauty. From removing rust to exfoliating skin, these simple applications can enhance your daily routine.

Here are 5 surprising uses of salt for cleaning and beauty!

Create a paste with 6 tablespoons of salt and 2 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice to effectively remove rust from bike handlebars, tire rims, and other outdoor gear. Rinse and dry thoroughly afterward.

Salt serves as a natural scrub for your skin. After showering, sprinkle salt onto your hands and gently rub it over moist skin to eliminate dead cells and improve circulation.

Soaking in a saltwater bath can soothe itchy skin. Add 1 cup of table salt or sea salt to your bath to help soften and calm irritated skin.

Mix 1 teaspoon of sea salt with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to create a cleansing and toning facial treatment. Massage it onto your face and throat, avoiding the eye area, and then wash off with your regular facial cleanser.

Use sea salt as a natural teeth whitener. Its gentle abrasiveness helps remove stains; brush with it once a week for a brighter smile without the cost of commercial products.
