How to Use Bath Salts for Maximum Relaxation

Why Use Bath Salts?

Bath salts are more than just pretty crystals. They're typically made from Epsom salt, sea salt, or Himalayan pink salt, and packed with natural minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium.

These minerals help:

- Soothe sore muscles
- Reduce stress
- Detoxify the skin
- Improve circulation
- Promote better sleep

How to Use Bath Salts for the Best Experience:

1.Set the Mood
Start by creating a calm, spa-like environment. Dim the lights, play soft music, and light a calming candle-lavender or eucalyptus are both perfect.

2. Draw Your Bath
Fill your tub with warm (not hot) water. The ideal temperature is around 98-104°F to relax muscles without drying out your skin.

3. Add the Right Amount of Salts
Use about ½ to 1 cup of bath salts for a standard tub. For sore muscles, you can use up to 2 cups of Epsom salt. Sprinkle it under running water to help it dissolve evenly.

4. Soak and Breathe
Soak for 15-20 minutes. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and let your body fully unwind.

5. Optional Enhancements
Want to go deeper? Add a few drops of essential oil or a splash of carrier oil (like sweet almond or jojoba) for extra skin nourishment.

Pro Tips
- Exfoliate beforehand to allow minerals to absorb better.
- Rinse off with cool water after soaking to close your pores.
- Moisturize immediately after your bath to lock in hydration.
