From coffee to sugar, a lot of dining table essentials have made their way to our daily scrub sessions. Now foraying into the beauty circuit is the Himalayan Pink salt. Health experts around the world say that its relaxing properties make it the ideal addition to scrubs and bath products. Mined from parts of the Salt Range in Punjab and the Pothohar plateau of the Himalayas, this salt gets its pretty pink shade from the presence of iron oxide in it. From hair mists to face masks, here are some products you’d want on your skincare list.
