Himalayan Black Salt is a type of rock salt (similar to Pink Salt) and is found in the mines at the base of the Himalyas in India and Pakistan. unlike its name Himalayan Black Salts are actually a deep purple colour.
Black Salts are rich in minerals and have many health benefits, consumed internally (in cooking) and through cosmetic uses. Unlike regular salts, Black Salts do not increase the level of sodium in the blood, so would be a great salt alternative for people with high blood pressure.

Sweat, dirt and oils clog pores in the skin leading to acne breakouts and other skin irritations. Using black salts as a skin exfoliant will help to go deep into the pores cleansing then and ridding of any excess oils. Using black salts will also help blood circulation below the skin helping with cell regrowth and leaving a glowing skin. Using on the face may be a bit too abrasive so maybe try on the body.
