Review Disclosure for Epsom Salt

Everyone would love to be able to have a day at the spa… But it isn’t always convenient…. Or affordable. But what if I told you that you can make your own spa at home? All it takes is a few candles (just for the relaxing mood), a running bath and some Epsom salt!

A Little about Epsom Salt Spa:

Magnesium sulfate, was discovered back in Shakespeare’s days in Epsom, England (hence the first half of the name). The word “Salt” probably refers to the specific chemical structure of the compound. Many people do assume that it is due to the crystalline structure of Epsom Salt – that has an appearance similar to table Salt. It is unlike Sea Salt- it does not dry your skin out. In fact, it has a softening property.

I have been able to put Epsom Salt to the test. To begin,, I poured myself a Very Warm bath – and poured in a couple scoops of Epsom salt and some Bubble Bath, grabbed a good book,  And Soaked all my worries away!  I have problems with my knees… and a warm bath usually helps, but just a little.  A bath with Epsom salt just seemed to relax my muscles more.  I got out of my bath feeling more relaxed and refreshed than I have felt in a Long time!   With the knowledge of Epsom Salt,  I dont think I will ever pay for a Spa Treatment!

Other uses for Epsom Salt include:

  • Glowing skin exfoliating treatment: Mix 2 cups of Epsom Salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Use the mixture to gently scrub away dry skin patches.
  • Microdermabrasion Facial: Mix 1/2 TSP of Epsom Salt into cleansing cream for a deep-pore cleansing. Massage on skin. Rinse with cool water. Pat dry.
  • Bathtime Bliss: Add two cups of Epsom Salt to the water in a standard-sized bathtub; soak for at least 12 minutes, three times weekly. For an extra treat, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil for a refreshing scent.
  • Pedicure Perfection: Dissolve a half cup of Epsom Salt into two quarts of warm water. Pour the water into a container and soak your bare feet for fifteen to twenty minutes. For an extra treat, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil for a refreshing scent. Massage the entire foot with Epsom Salt concentrating on the heels and ankles to remove any dry, rough spots. Then, rinse your feet off with clean tap water and dry them thoroughly.
  • Homemade bath crystals: Mix two cups of Epsom Salt with a few drops of fragrance to create a custom bath crystal. Add a few drops of food coloring or 1/2 TSP of glycerin if you like. Store in an air-tight container.

You can find beauty tips and Gardening tips  using Epsom Salt online.   Epsom Salt even has their own Facebook Page.  You can find Epsom Salt at your local Drug or Convenience Stores or Online.
