Halotherapy for acne
Acne is one of the most common skin problems and can significantly affect self-confidence and daily life. Pimples, inflammation, red patches, blackheads and blemished skin can persist for a long time despite creams, cleansing products or medication.
At HaloClinic Nederland many visitors experience that halotherapy helps their skin feel calmer, cleaner and healthier.
HaloClinic Nederland has been among the first professional salt rooms in the Netherlands since 2011 and has been helping visitors with skin and airway complaints for more than 15 years.
What is acne?
Acne is a skin condition in which sebaceous glands become clogged with excess sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria. This causes inflammation in the skin.

- Face
- Back
- Shoulders
- Chest
Common symptoms of acne:
- Pimples
- Deep-seated inflammation
- Blackheads
- Red skin
- Oily skin
- Sensitive skin
- Acne scars
Acne can be aggravated by:
- Stress
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Oily skin
- Bacteria
- Poor air quality
- Clogged pores
How can halotherapy help with acne?
Halotherapy is a natural therapy in which microscopically fine dry salt particles are dispersed through the salt room by a professional halogenerator.
In the salt rooms of HaloClinic Nederland a controlled salt microclimate is created that helps deeply cleanse the skin.
The fine dry salt particles are known for their antibacterial properties and are experienced by many visitors as pleasant for the skin.
Many visitors experience that halotherapy can help to:
- Cleanse the skin more thoroughly
- Keep pores clean
- Reduce excess sebum
- Reduce inflammation
- Calm redness
- Help prevent new pimples
- Make the skin feel fresher and smoother
- Support the skin's healing
During a halotherapy session you simply sit in the salt room fully dressed. The action of the salt does not depend solely on direct skin contact. The microscopically fine dry salt particles are inhaled and can support the body from within through the airways. This means halotherapy can also help acne by contributing to cleaner skin, less irritation and natural recovery from within.
Salt also has a naturally cleansing and hydrating effect. It helps to calm the skin while the body is supported through the breath. This makes halotherapy for acne a natural approach that reaches beyond the surface of the skin.
The first improvement our clients notice is that the itching disappears. Only then does the skin's recovery process really get under way.
In addition, many visitors experience deep relaxation during a session in the salt room.

Halotherapie en het immuunsysteem
Veel klachten waarbij halotherapie ondersteuning kan bieden — van astma, hooikoorts en COPD tot eczeem en psoriasis — hebben één gemeenschappelijke noemer: een overactief of ontregeld immuunsysteem. Het lichaam reageert dan te heftig op prikkels zoals pollen, huisstofmijt, virussen of stressfactoren, met ontstekingen in de luchtwegen of de huid tot gevolg.
Halotherapie helpt het immuunsysteem om rustiger en beter gereguleerd te reageren. De ingeademde droge zoutdeeltjes reinigen de luchtwegen, verminderen prikkels, helpen slijm af te voeren en helpen overmatige immuunreacties tot rust te brengen. Daardoor draagt halotherapie bij aan herstel bij luchtwegklachten én huidklachten zoals eczeem en psoriasis.
