And if you really do crave salt then I have an amazing hack for you to stay hydrated and fresh all day long.

Pro Tip: Take some lukewarm water and add salt to it. Stir the mixture well. Now, wash your eyes a few times with this water.  You can also soak cotton balls in the solution and let them rest on your eyes to get better results.
