How Halotherapy Supports Healthier Skin—Naturally

If you’ve ever dealt with eczema, acne, or psoriasis, you know the frustration of finding relief that actually works. At Salty Woods Greenwood, we believe the solution doesn’t always come in a bottle. Sometimes, it comes from salt—specifically, halotherapy.

Halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy, involves relaxing in a salt-infused room where pharmaceutical-grade salt is dispersed into the air. These tiny salt particles don’t just enter your respiratory system—they also interact directly with your skin. And the results can be remarkable.

🧂 How Salt Therapy Benefits the Skin

1. Anti-inflammatory Properties
   Salt is naturally anti-inflammatory, which can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin. For people with eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, halotherapy can reduce redness, itching, and discomfort. According to a study published in the International Journal of Dermatology, saline environments can help reduce scaling and inflammation in skin conditions like psoriasis1.

2. Antibacterial Effects
   Salt is also antimicrobial, helping cleanse the skin of bacteria and impurities. This makes it an excellent complementary therapy for those struggling with acne or breakouts. A report in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology noted that salt treatments may decrease the bacterial load on the skin and improve overall clarity2.

3. Supports Natural Exfoliation
   Dry salt particles gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin, removing dead cells and encouraging cell regeneration. This can leave the skin feeling smoother, brighter, and more radiant after just a few sessions.

4. Balances Oil Production
   For oily or combination skin types, halotherapy may help regulate sebum (oil) levels, reducing the frequency of clogged pores and blemishes.

🌬 A Holistic Approach to Skin Wellness

Unlike topical treatments, halotherapy works from the outside in and inside out—supporting skin health on the surface while also promoting detoxification through improved respiratory function and stress reduction. Stress is a common trigger for many skin conditions, and relaxing in a salt room can support emotional balance while giving your skin the healing environment it needs.
