Be Stoked! - Manhattan Beach Soap

I've nearly run out of my popular Manhattan Beach Ocean Water Soap.  Personally I'm not big into entering freezing water at this time of year, so today after school I sent Kiddo into the waves to do the dirty work.  I have about 3 gallons now, which should make another 60 bars or so. 

If you haven't tried using salty soap, you might consider it because:

1.  Salt fights skin infection - As the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind, it attaches to the infectious cells and draws out the moisture inside the cells, effectively dehydrating them until they are dried up and dead.

2.  Salt draws out toxins - Salts help to draw out toxins, microscopic dirt, and pollutants that get into our skin's pores over time. As it cleanses the skin, it also stimulates skin cells in normal metabolic detoxifying and cleansing processes. The salt in salt water exfoliates the outer surface of the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing the fresh new cells underneath, which leaves the skin glowing. Salt water leaves you with skin that is softer.

3.  Salt reduces skin irritation -Salt is full of minerals that the body needs in all its normal regulatory processes. Magnesium, for example, helps in the metabolism of skin cells and helps the skin to fight allergies. As salts open the pores and draw out toxins, they relieve the irritation and itching caused by skin rashes and insect bites, small cuts and scrapes, and scaly, dry skin. You will probably notice that your skin's outer surface feels dry but clean after a dip in the salt. That is because salt does draw out the moisture, but it also draws out the nasty stuff. It does not disturb the skin's natural barrier, however, and it does help restore overall mineral balance, which helps the skin to maintain proper moisture.

Salty soap coupled with an essential oil  facial regime, (to be discussed next time), yields amazing results.
