Epsom Salt in Skin Care

Epsom salt in skin care is used as a treatment to relax, exfoliate and soften skin on the body (do not use on the face or neck).

  Epsom salt is made from the mineral magnesium sulfate - which is also a sedative for the nervous system. 

How to use Epsom Salt:

• Add two cups to your bath for a relaxing soak.
• Exfoliate dry skin with Epsom salt mixed with Vaseline or baby oil.  (This is used in many spas as a spa treatment.  Add scented oils to really pamper yourself.)
• For a deep pore cleansing, mix ½ teaspoon with your regular facial cleanser.
• After showering, massage handfuls of Epsom Salt over wet skin to exfoliate the body. Many spas use this treatment.
• Mix two cups of Epsom Salt with a few drops of fragrance to create your own bath crystals. Add a few drops of food coloring or 1/2 teaspoon of glycerin if you like. Store in an air-tight container, makes a great gift.
• Soften your feet by soaking them in warm water and Epsom Salt. The salt will help to smoothen your feet, giving them a relaxed and refreshed feel.
