I get zits very frequently, as I have quite the oily skin on my face. I've tried dozens of spot treatments and masks, however, I find sea salt to be the most effective in busting spots. I suggest anyone with a zit gives this a try.

-
In a tiny bowl, add your tablespoon of sea salt. I reccommend using sea salt or any other kind of natural salt- table salt is not reccommended. Add literally a couple droplets of water and mix until it becomes a paste. The sea salt should not dissolve completely. If it does, add more salt- until there is a paste-like consistency going on.
-
Apply the paste to all zits on your face. I leave it on anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours- until the salt has dried is best. Then simply and GENTLY "dust" the salt off your skin. You should notice that most redness has vanished and the zit itself is looking much better. Repeat this on a daily basis until those pesky pimples dissappear.
-
Just wanted to note that this is great as a face mask as well, and that when you are rinsing it off your face it is wise to make use of the granules for exfoliation.
Also, I have used (instead of water) the juice of a cucumber and the juice of a tomato. I have even added a dab of honey to the mix when using it as a spot treatment. Try experimenting- however, the simple water and salt mixture is extremely effective.
Enjoy!

*******NOTE FROM A SKINCARE CONSULTANT*************
Just make sure that when you exfoliate with this, you rub in circles, not straight across, and that you don't rub too hard! Also, make sure you drink lots of water after this treatment, and use a facial moisturizer. If you don't moisturize, the oil will come back threefold, and nobody wants that!
Overall, a VERY effective treatment. This is why the Dead Sea is so famous! ;) Personally, I use a similar treatment in the spa where I work. :-D

this is great. it also explains why swimmers never have acne, or when you swim you feel like your face is dried out :)

This is also great for scars left by pimples, it helps them heal quickly. If you use it for scars I would suggest adding honey as it also helps heal scars.

This also works well if you use baking soda & sea salt, and enough water to make a paste and leave it on overnight.

I also use salt paste to chill out itchy bites. They work wonders on mosquito bites. I do a paste like you said, rub on, let dry, and dust off. Chills out the itch fast.
