Salt Water & Your Skin: How TuroSkin Protects You

Salt Water & Your Skin: What You Need to Know

If you're heading to the coast or living in a saltwater-heavy area, you’ve probably wondered how salt water affects your skin. Here's the scoop:

🌊 What Salt Water Can Do

Salt water—especially from the ocean—is rich in minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, and zinc. It’s also naturally exfoliating and may have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Gentle natural exfoliant: It helps slough off dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reveal brighter, smoother skin .

• Soothing for sensitive skin: It may calm inflammation connected to eczema, psoriasis, and redness.

• Antibacterial benefits: The salt helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and balance oil production.

• Mineral absorption: Minerals might strengthen the skin barrier and support hydration—but findings are still emerging 

⚠️ Caveat: Not everyone benefits equally. If you have very dry or sensitive skin, salt water can be irritating or overly drying . Always moisturize after exposure and patch test by rinsing with fresh water first.

🚢 TuroSkin & Salt Water: We’ve Got You Covered

Based in Michigan, TuroSkin ships to both Great Lakes and oceanfront areas—meaning our customers often expose their skin to salt water. That’s why our products are formulated to restore and shield, not just cleanse:

• Daily Defense Moisturizer + SPF: Replenishes moisture, reinforces the skin barrier, and protects from UV—even post-swim.

• Regenerating Night Cream: Deep hydration and repair overnight after salty or sun-soaked days.

• (COMING SOON) Zero Trace Body Wash: Clean, no-fragrance formula that removes salt and minerals without irritating.

🏰 Disney’s Seal of Clean

Dr. John Renucci shared that Disney Resorts once carried TuroSkin and praised our clean, safe formulas as suitable for guests—even beachfront pool areas. 

🧭 How To Enjoy Salt Water Safely

1. Rinse with fresh water immediately after swimming.

2. Apply moisturizer right away to trap hydration.

3. Use clean, minimal skincare—avoid harsh scrubs post-salt exposure.

4. Patch-test new products if you have reactive skin—especially after beach days.
