Well i know that 80% of anything that has direct contact on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream.
Bathing in high quality sea salt could replenish the minerals which are critical to our skin metabolism.
The things found in salt water are magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium and bromides...
Magnesium is important for both combatting stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging and calming the nervous system. Calcium is effective at preventing water retention, increasing circulation and strengthening bones and nails.
Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral to replenish following intense exercise.
Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles.
Sodium is important for the lymphatic fluid balance (this in turn is important for immune system function).
Hope this is of some use!

All these factors can affect the skin differntly depending on age, skin type and race etc. A really good book that will help you is beauty therapy 2nd edition by jane hiscock and frances lovett. it really helped me when i did my course.

Over exposure to sun and sunbeds has a huge effect on the skin

Salt water is antiseptic so probably good in moderation. Chlorine is bleach, not good. Rainwater would be good, drug abuse bad, fresh air good in moderation, not windy weather which will dry it.

sea water, the sun and too much salt. the dust and the smoke... chemical forms entering your body like drugs. and unmoisturized skin.
