i just read that if you rubb a tablespoon of fine salt on your face and wash it off it will help you skin. Does anyone know if this really works?

Salt draws out moisture so it would be really dry out your skin.
Sugar is better to use as a scrub. It's texture helps remove dead skin cells & it helps skin retain moisture. Just use a tablespoon of sugar & rub it gently against your skin. Rinse well.
Here's a more sophisticated scrub recipe: Gentle Scrub for Fresher Skin -
This easy-to-make formula will help to dissolve the “glue” that binds dead skin cells together, allowing them to fall away like autumn leaves, revealing the smooth, soft skin underneath. The secret is fresh alphahydroxy fruit acid--in this case from tomatoes, still in season--and sugar.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Chopped fresh tomato
2 tablespoons yogurt or sour cream
1. Place the sugar in a small bowl. Add enough fresh chopped tomato to moisten, then add yogurt. Combine and apply to a clean, damp face, using fingertips to gently massage the formula into skin.
2. Allow formula to remain on skin for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.

It's mean to be a natural exfoliate. Typically it works well with rough, dry skin on your hands or feet. You mix salt with olive oil and you rub it on your hands for a few minutes and when you wash them off your skin is really soft.
I think it may be a bit harsh for your face and you can actually go to the drugstore and find tons of masks and facial scrubs that will do a good job.

It might be too rough, esp for the skin on your face. It may actually exacerbate the situation if you have broken/sensitive skin. Get a milder exfoliating facial scrub.

as an exfoliating treatment meant to be used on occasion not recommended for people w/ skin irritation ( acne, roseacia),
baking soda is more gentleand you need to use it in a lotion base just don't rub dry salt on your face that's like sandpaper
