The Benefits of a Saltwater Pool for Skin and Hair

When you are weighing your pool care options, saltwater pools will come up as the ultimate choice to protect and care for your skin and hair. While chlorine pools have their own benefits, saltwater pools shine in this respect. AquaComfort Water Group knows all the wonderful benefits saltwater pools can offer in this area and carry the water care products to make it possible. 

Reduced amounts of chlorine.

Saltwater pools naturally use less chlorine than a chlorine pool does. They still produce a small amount of chlorine to keep the water clean, but not in the same quantities.  Chlorine can be tougher on your skin and hair than other options, so if your water has less in it, it will be friendlier to your hair and skin. If those are a priority for you, a saltwater pool could be the best choice for you.

Natural healing for your skin.

Saltwater pools also provide natural healing for your skin. While a gaping wound wouldn’t be much affected, smaller, more common issues can see an improvement with a saltwater pool. 

Saltwater pools can help with eczema.

Studies have shown that saltwater pools can help to calm eczema-inflamed skin. The salt acts as a natural exfoliant and moisturizer. It is also less harsh than chlorine pools which might do the opposite and inflame the already irritated skin. 

Saltwater pools can help with acne.

In similar studies, saltwater pools have been shown to help with acne as well. The tiny amounts of exfoliation provided by the salt, combined with the healing effects salt can have on sores, allows your acne to clear a little. 

Saltwater pools can leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

We have discussed the exfoliating properties and the natural moisturization that can come from saltwater, which, even if you don’t have irritated skin, can leave your skin feeling softer and smoother. We all want to feel soft and smooth, so this is a win for all of us.

Saltwater pools can improve your hair.

Since saltwater improves your skin, it will also work on your scalp, thus improving your hair. 

Saltwater pools reduce flakes and itchy scalps.

Saltwater can work on your scalp in the same ways, exfoliating and moisturizing your scalp. This will free it from buildup and irritation, reducing flakes and itchiness. 

Saltwater pools add moisture to your hair. 

Since there are natural moisturizers in the saltwater pool, your hair will benefit as well as your skin. If you color your hair or use heat on it, you know how easily it can be damaged. Adding in a little extra moisture is always a good thing.

Saltwater pools may even help with scalp conditions.

Just like it can help with things like eczema and acne, saltwater could help with alopecia. The cleansing of the scalp and stimulation of the hair follicles are common treatments, and your swimming pool could help with that.    No matter what your reasons are for investigating a saltwater pool, AquaComfort Water Group has the supplies you need to make it a reality.
