Epsom Salts: A Beauty Enhancer


Epsom salts can be used in different ways, and its cheap to buy. Epsom salts are pretty much the same, so you don’t have to check brands. Have them in a small plastic container or a ceramic jar.You can use them in various ways .

Face.

For a dewy complexion, mix 1/2 tsp Epsom salts into cleansing cream. Gently massage on skin and rinse with cool water. Pat dry. Apply your favorite moisturizer. They soften the skin, leave no residue, and don’t dry out the skin.

Body

Remove dead skin with an Epsom salt body scrub. Mix 2 cups with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Use the mixture to gently slough away dry patches.

Feet

For a foot scrub, mix 2 cups of Epsom salts with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Use the mixture to gently scrub the heels and dry, rough patches on the feet.You will have soft and clean feet.

Bath

This is my favorite. Soak in warm water and add one or two cups of salts to relax your mind and muscles after a tough workout or a hard day. Studies show the wide-ranging benefits of magnesium and sulfate are the two major components of Epsom salts.

Hair

Yes hair .Most people dont like the idea of salts on their hair. For salt-sprayed beach hair with volume and texture, combine equal parts of warm, deep conditioner and Epsom salt. Work the warm mixture through your hair and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse.
