Skin scrubs help exfoliate your skin. Regular exfoliation doesn't just give your skin a healthy glow and brighter tone by removing dulling surface skin cells, but it can also help reduce wrinkles, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Instead of using plain sea salt, some skincare products use mineral-rich Dead Sea salt. For the best results, ignore a manufacturer's hype and pick a salt scrub that's been highlighted or recommended by a third-party critic.
Lippmann Collection 'Soul Mission' Cosmeceutical Foot Scrub
The Lippmann Collection's Dead Sea salt scrub comes recommended by "InStyle" magazine as a way to get fuss-free summer beauty. It's intended for the foot region, and the magazine praised its combination of grapefruit extract and salt crystals to help moisturize your skin and get rid of dry, cracked skin. While the salt helps exfoliate, antioxidants and moisturizers like sunflower seed oil, vitamin E and carrot seed oil help condition and soothe.
