Why put coarse salt in the bath?
Sea salts have been recognized since Antiquity for their benefits on the skin. Purifying, exfoliating, and also helpful for relieving heavy legs, they dissolve in water for a truly relaxing moment. But is coarse salt in the bath suitable for all skin types? Why and how should you use it? Corine de Farme tells you everything you need to know to unwind.
All the beneficial properties of coarse salt
Sea salt or bath salt, it’s hard to miss when visiting the wellness aisle of your favorite store. Well-known, recognized, and used since ancient times, coarse sea salt offers many purifying and relaxing virtues that you shouldn’t miss out on.
Replenishing the skin with minerals, exfoliating the skin, removing dead skin cells, boosting blood circulation, and eliminating toxins, especially during seasonal changes—these are just some of the undeniable benefits of coarse salt in the bath.
A seawater bath or a bath with added coarse salt is also beneficial if you suffer from a skin condition, such as psoriasis or eczema, or from chronic irritations.
Feeling tired or stressed? Here too, turn to marine bath salts to relax and avoid tension, pain, and muscle soreness. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory action, coarse bath salt can help relieve rheumatic pain or mild muscle cramps.
Using sea salts helps the body flush out toxins that it sometimes struggles to eliminate. In cases of water retention or cellulite, the toning effect of a coarse salt bath is no longer up for debate—it’s time to try it for yourself!
5 benefits of coarse salt in the bath for the skin
Thanks to the calcium, potassium, and boron it contains, sea salt acts as an effective anti-inflammatory against swelling and skin redness.
For its healing action, magnesium comes into play. Particularly effective against acne, eczema, or psoriasis, it helps eliminate toxins from the epidermis and repairs damaged tissues.
Coarse sea salt owes its exfoliating power to its ideal grain size, which works through the mechanical action of the grains on the skin during the bath. Connoisseurs will especially appreciate the exceptional benefits of Dead Sea salt.
Did you know? Sodium and potassium ensure the hydration of your body’s cells.
Finally, by absorbing the magnesium and potassium contained in sea salt, blood circulation improves and, through it, the outward appearance of the skin.

Precautions and usage tips from our strong personalities at Corine de Farme!
For a moment of pure relaxation, before diving into your coarse salt bath, make sure you are not allergic or sensitive to sea salts. If you have sensitive skin, this could be the case. A skin test will help you find out more. It is also recommended to avoid irritated or damaged areas. If you have recently been injured, postpone your relaxing bath for a few days to allow time for healing.
Bath salts are not meant to be ingested. So avoid this as much as possible, and before slipping into your bath, remember to check the water temperature. If it’s too hot, it could contribute to drying out your skin.
Of course, always use quality bath salts: at Corine de Farme, our entire range of sea salts is made in France and composed of 99% ingredients of natural origin. By the way, for Corine, 5 caps in the bath water are enough.
One last tip, why not add essential oils of your choice for their properties or their scent: a few drops are enough for an even more relaxing and beneficial experience. And above all, take your time.
