Both Salt and Olive Oil/Coconut Oil have been proven to provide a variety of health benefits for the skin.*
“Salt acts as a mechanical exfoliant and scrub, removing dead skin cells. This leaves the skin feeling smoother, softer, and brighter. Through osmotic actions, salts absorb toxins and draw out dirt and oil. Improved pore size is another benefit,” says Snehal Amin, MD, FAAD, a board certified dermatologist and the co-founder and Surgical Director of MDCS Dermatology, in an article from HealthLine.
And according to oliveoil.com, "Both coconut oil and olive oil are occlusive moisturizers, which means they do a good job sealing moisture in. They're also emollients, so they soothe and smooth the skin for a lush, moisturized feel.
Some studies have found that the medium-chain fatty acids found in virgin coconut oil have impressive antimicrobial properties. These fatty acids, which are a form of saturated fat, make up 65% of the total composition of virgin coconut oil. Lauric acid, which makes up 49%, is particularly effective at killing harmful microorganisms and bacteria."
That's some pretty incredible for such a simple recipe right? But we're not surprised, that's the power of Nature!
