BATH SALTS

What are Bath Salts?

Bath salts are a terrific way to relax. They're usually created with Epsom salt and essential oils. A scoop can be used to your bath, shower, foot soak, or used as a gently exfoliating body scrub. They blend the advantages of magnesium-rich Epsom salts with aromatherapy to help you relax your muscles and mind. They also have skin-softening and exfoliating properties.


How to use Bath Salts?

Bath salts are pretty simple to use. Once you find the perfect bath salt for yourself, you can use them in different wash!


In the Bath

TO USE: Sprinkle 1 cup of bath salts into a warm bath, allow salts to dissolve, then soak in the tub for about 20 minutes.


Bath salt soaks may help relax sore or painful muscles, and the magnesium in the Bath salts (which can be absorbed via the skin) may aid in sleep. You also get all of the aromatherapy advantages, as well as some moderate exfoliating and skin softening.


As Footsoaks

  • Take a tablespoon of salt and put it in half a bucket of warm water
  • Soak your feet in the water and sit back
  • Relax for 10-15 mins or until the water gets cold
  • You can also scrub some salt on your feet to remove dead skin
  • Pat your feet and moisturize

To Exfoliate 

Combine your bath salts with a sprinkle of body oil like sweet almond oil or coconut oil, and scrub difficulty places like elbows and knees or the bottoms of the feet to gently exfoliate and soften your skin. 

Bath salts are far too harsh for the face, so only use them as a body scrub. Again, carefully so that the salt crystals do not cause micro-tears in the skin.


How to get most of the Bath Salts?

Store your bath salts in a robust, airtight container to ensure that they stay protected, clump-free, and retain their smell. Glass jars, PET plastic jars, and high-quality cellophane bags are the ideal bath salts storage containers. To avoid color fading, keep your bath salts out of direct sunlight. In a dry, cold environment is ideal.


How frequently should one use them?

Consider adding the Bath Salt to your bath three times a week to get the best results. Avoid eating shortly before or after the bath for your own comfort, and drink plenty of water in the days leading up to it to stay hydrated. While Epsom salt hydrates your skin, it can also dry you in different ways. If you want to make your bath feel more like a spa, add some citrus or fruit to the water.


Here are some Benefits of using Bath Salts-

1)Moisturises Skin:

Soaking in a warm salt solution for 15-20 minutes once a week improves skin barrier function, hydrates the skin, and reduces irritation.The minerals in a salty bath also operate from the inside out to produce more young, bright skin by removing pollutants and balancing skin moisture levels.

 

2) Releases Stress:

Spending time in a warm bath with the correct amount of bath salts can assist to boost general circulation throughout the body, which helps to soothe our internal systems. Bath salts relax our muscle systems and aid in both mental and physical renewal, in addition to relieving tension. When we're stressed or concerned, a warm bath might help us relax.


3) Helps with Insomnia 

In terms of nutrition, salt baths may help to promote improved sleep habits. Bathing in magnesium-rich salts causes our body to absorb the mineral through the skin, which helps us sleep better.


4)Offers Healing Benefits 

Regular salt soaks have been shown in studies to help us achieve our highest degree of biological and cellular performance. Internal hydration and electrolyte replenishment can both benefit from this routine. In addition to improving our overall immunity, soaking in a salt bath helps to balance our alkaline / acid balances. With their intense detoxification effects, these salty soaks eliminate pollutants from the bloodstream. Blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health improvement, and improved circulatory and neuronal function are all additional advantages.


5) Comforts and soothes pain 

Soaking in warm water with bath salts might help to relieve discomfort by relieving pressure on the joints and muscles. Salt has remarkable natural healing capabilities, which helps our bodies heal faster after injury or surgery. Beneficial salt baths have been shown to be quite beneficial in alleviating chronic pain, especially rheumatoid arthritis. Muscle spasms and menstrual cramps can be relieved with the magnesium-rich salt.


Now that you know all about the benefits of bath salts, you have the perfect excuse to take a nice, relaxing bath. Besides enjoying it, you'll also support your body, calm your nervous system, and pamper your skin. It's no wonder soaking in salty water has been a cherished activity since ancient times!
