Author	Topic: celtic, sun-dried sea salt? / Hymalaya salt? / Natural salt substitute?
Taylor 09-12-2002 05:51 PM	I know salt is not good for acne but is it because the salt has been processed in some way? Or is it because of the sodium content?
Wai 09-13-2002 05:14 AM	No salt is okay, no matter whether, or in what way it has been processed. All salt can cause acne because of the water-attracting properties.

Wai 04-03-2003 12:08 PM	sounds good, and my guess is that you will absorb little sodium, BUT, yes, it might be too much, and cause acne; it is not about whether the sodium ingested is from a 'natural source', but the ingested total amount of sodium... All fruits contains sodium as well, but in very moderate amounts. The more sodium you ingest, the greater the acne risk. Once your skin is clear, you can start to experiment with how much sodium your skin can cope with, which is individually VERY different.

Wai 04-03-2003 12:12 PM	im sorry, but no, it is not okay...
