Salt particles on body when sweat dries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salt on skin: In an attempt to cool your body's temperature, you sweat. Sweat is both water and salt. When the water evaporates, not dries, your skin is cooled and the remains are salt that was dissolved in your sweat. A shower will easily remove the remains of the salt.
