The Adovia Exfoliating Facial Salts are pure 100% Dead Sea Salts that are finely ground and meant specifically for facial use. For $19 you get an almost overflowing 12.3 oz. bottle of Dead Sea Salts. The Adovia Exfoliating Facial Salts are also cruelty-free. I received a full-size product to sample for my completely honest review.
The packaging for the Adovia Exfoliating Facial Salts is actually pretty practical and cute. It’s made to look like the salts come in a small glass mason jar. In actuality the jar and lid are plastic. I like this because that means that it A. didn’t break during shipment and B. I don’t have to baby it when I put it back on the shelf with other skin care products.
The product itself gave me a bit of a pause when I first opened it. It literally is a jar full of Dead Sea Salts. There’s no liquid to the product or anything. I tried using it with just the salt and found that I didn’t prefer to use it this way. Instead I used what was suggested at the bottom of the back of the label, and added it to my daily cleanser when I needed some extra exfoliation. I found that adding a bit into my cleanser, rubbing it between my hands to get a good mix, and THEN applying to my face made my cleanser an exfoliating cleanser. I didn’t do this everyday, just once or twice a week. It should be noted that those with dry skin might find this more enjoyable if they add the salt to olive oil if they don’t want to add it to their normal cleanser.
Honestly, when I first tried the product I didn’t like it. I found that it made a horrible mess and it was a bit rough for my skin. HOWEVER, once I added it to my cleanser I feel in love with it. Only using it once or twice a week will allow me to stretch this a bit more than those who would use it daily but once it’s gone I’ll be for sure ordering some more.

I would have been put off if it had been just a jar of salt when I opened it, too! Sounds like an interesting product.
Cassie
I was totally expecting a scrub or mask type of texture not just salt lol. Now that I realized I can add it to whatever product I want I’m loving how customizable it is.
Victoria Sneden
Not sure if I would be a fan…seems like a lot of steps for a scrub, you know? I like that it’s cruelty-free though, that’s a HUGE bonus in my world!
Cassie
I always try to support products that are cruelty-free if at all possible!
Jess Scull
Sounds interesting for sure!
Jaime
Several years ago, I tried a product containing primarily salts. I used this scrub on my legs and it was excruciating. I haven’t attempted a similar product since then. (This one gives me slight hope.)
Cassie
Yeah salt can burn any cuts or any kind of razor burn you might have. I think if you put this with a body wash you probably wouldn’t have that problem this time around 🙂
Chelsea
My face could use some serious exfoliating right now!
Karly
Super weird that it’s just salt by itself, but I can definitely see it being an advantage when adding it to a cleanser, especially one that doesn’t have microbeads or other exfoliants in it.
Shipra
I love to exfoliate – I’m pretty much obsessed with it – so I would love this to add to my facial cleanser! <3
Jamie @ Makeuplifelove
This sounds totally interesting. i for sure would have been weirded out by the jar full of salt. But most definitely sounds interesting
michelle marino
I love facial scrubs ! I love that this one is cruelty free
Cassie @ Live.Laugh.L0ve.
I love how honest you are with your reviews! I feel like I really understand a product better from your reviews! I’ve only exfoliated once before {eeek}, I need to do it more often!
Dawn
Salt is a great for exfoliating. You just have to be careful not to over exfoliate. Salt is a crystal, which means it’s rough. So if you’re not careful, you’ll basically sand your face off. O_o
Mitch
Good for even men! I cold use some facial help but I never give myself the time!

I’m not a big facial scrub person. I always feel too raw afterwards. Now body scrubs, I LOVE those.
Cassie
The same company actually makes a body salt version as well. I think with that one the salt isn’t as finally ground 🙂
Caroline @ the caro diaries
OMG! I can’t believe it comes as a jar of salt.. but I can see how great it would be adding it to your moisturizer or cleanser!
Cassie
Right?! Totally threw me off at first lol.
Amber Conaway
I love scrubs but I have never heard of this product! Can’t wait to try it, sounds amazing!
Ann Marie DelFavero
This sounds like an awesome product! I’ve been looking for a new exfoliater!
veronica
This looks like a great exfoliator. I will have to try it some time
Pam
Putting in it some olive oil and using it for those of us that have dry skin sounds like an excellent idea. I have heard that facial salts can really brighten up your skin.
Debbie L.
I have never used a facial scrub – I use body scrubs but never thought about using one on my face, Sounds very interesting – I would give this a try,
Amanda H.
Opening a jar of salt would have surprised me, for sure. I like how you can add it to any of your existing products though.
Cassie
I love that it’s super customizable like that 🙂
deb
This looks like a great company. I’ll have to look and see if they make a really good foot scrub. Thanks for sharing.

I normally use sugar scrubs but I must say that I’ve never gotten to use a salt one! I need to try this!
Michelle
I’m the same way with my exfoliators. Most of the time, scrubs are too harsh for my sensitive skin, but if I add them with my face wash they’re perfect! Great review. (:
Chrystal @ Yumeating
Thats a really interesting product. I like how you can add it to the product you already like.
melinda
at least it lets you add it to your favorite body wash or something, you’re not stuck with the same scent
Betsy
Looks like a great product. I’ll have to try it out for myself!
krystalskitsch
I really need to try these out! I’m always looking for a good scrub
Amy d
I love the Adovia Mud Mask I own. I am not a big facial salt fan though, I think less is better when it comes to a clean face,
Brett
This sounds like an interesting product. I may just order some for myself.
April Smith Decheine
I love using exfoliating with salt scrubs. I like them in the tub or shower. This looks like a great scrub, I like buying them instead of always making them.
Rosey
I’m glad you found a way to turn it from unpleasant to very pleasing! I hear the salt is oh so good for you!
Becka
I have been seeing alot of stuff with dead sea salt in it lately. I like the idea of being able to customize because sometimes certain smells turn me off and being able to add to and upgrade a product I already like is a major bonus.
April @ Everyday Fitness and Nutrition
I love using honey sugar body scrub to exfoliate so I think I might like this. Thanks for the advice on how to use it.
Shell
A client I work for does skin care and she was saying that rough things like salts can cause tiny microtears in your skin. It’s made me stay clear of them. But then again, other people swear by salts!
Cassie
She is right in the fact that salts CAN cause tears in the skin. However, that’s if you’re using them multiple times a day every day. Technically you’re only supposed to exfoliate once to twice a week and any more than that is TO much and can cause the tears. The way to get around that is to make sure that you are being gentle when you exfoliate, let the product work for you, and ALWAYS use your moisturizer after cleansing your face.
Estelle
This looks like a great skin are product. Since my skin is on the dry side I’d probably mix it with oil or cleanser.
Christie
I bet your fave just glows afterwards! I’d love to try this too. thanks!
Marina @ Mommy Snippets
Looks like a awesome product! How nice and refreshing.
Carly
These look awesome! I’m always looking for new scrubs and salts!
Kiwi
Ive never heard of this brand. Thanks for sharing I love facial salts!!1
kristyn

Summer
This sounds really interesting!
Beth Jenkins
I haven’t tried a salt scrub but it seems like it would be really great!
