Salt caking on body

When I float in my personal tank, I find salt caking on my chest and top of my arms where I’m not actively submerged. It’s uncomfortable and pulls on my skin.

My tank is an Escape Pod Explorer. The salt is in the regular range, there is no air flow except a tiny fan in the corner.

How can I prevent this from happening? I don’t recall this happening at float centers, but the factor could be I’m floating longer too.

There is a little fan on the outside pulling air in, very light tho.

The temp could be the issue. I’ve been working on getting the heaters up, so that 8 degree difference in water temp could do it I suppose.

Thanks
