Can something as simple as salt be the answer to your acne woes? According to a popular TikTok user, the answer is yes.  TikTok user @leacrylics shared that every time she goes to the beach and into the ocean, her skin clears up completely. So she decided to bring the beach home with her and bought sea salt off Amazon. She then proceeded to mix a teaspoon of sea salt with half a cup of warm water (the same ratio as the ocean) and sprayed it on her face. She does it every night for clearer skin.

So does sea salt really help the look and feel of skin? Dr. Anthony Youn posted a duet video where he shared that it can dry out pimples, but if you’ve got acne issues, its advised that you see a dermatologist.
