The 10 Best Bath Salts That Will Wash Your Stresses Down the Drain

Whenever I take a bath, I like my bathwater as salty as pasta water. The intention is to turn myself into a human noodle, which is nothing short of delightful after having been hunched over my laptop all day. Whether you want your limbs as slack as mine, softer skin, or you just want to make the experience of stewing in a tub exponentially more luxurious, the best salts for bath time are up to the task—and better yet, they’re purported to have myriad benefits for your overall well-being.

“Bath salts are typically made from magnesium sulfate, also known as Epsom salt, or Dead Sea salt,” says Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD , a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology and assistant clinical professor at the NewYork Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center . “They dissolve in water bath water and are thought to have many benefits including stress relief [and] reducing joint pain, muscle stiffness, anxiety, and headaches, as well as skin conditions like dry skin and eczema.”

While more evidence is needed to support these claims, there’s no denying the pleasure that a dip in the tub can offer you; according to one small study 1 , drawing a warm bath can lessen stress and uplift the mood. And if bath salts can compound the joy you experience, then why not add them to the mix?

Ahead, you’ll find 10 of the best salts for bath time, with recommendations from experts and bath enthusiasts (W+G staffers included) alike.

What to look for

When shopping for bath salts, you’ll usually have the option between ones made with Epsom salt or sea salt, both of which come with their own unique benefits. As mentioned, Epsom salt is made up of magnesium sulfate, which acts as an anti-inflammatory ingredient. “Magnesium helps reduce inflammation caused by E-selectin, which is a molecule that causes inflammation in the endothelial layer of the skin,” says New York-based board-certified dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD. She adds that, in reducing inflammation, magnesium can also improve overall skin health.

Sea salts, on the other hand, are rich in minerals that you wouldn’t typically find in Epsom salt. “Sea salts contain magnesium as well as many other mineral salts like potassium, calcium chloride, sodium, and bromide,” says Francesca Fusco, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Wexler Dermatology in New York. “For patients with inflammatory skin disorders like eczema, a soak in Dead Sea salts 2 may reduce inflammation and enhance hydration,” she says, referencing a  2005 clinical trial 3 published in the International Journal of Dermatology. Whatever your preference, you’ll want to ensure these ingredients—whether Epsom salt or Dead Sea salt—are listed at the top of a product list, says Dr. Garshick.

Many bath salts are also scented using synthetic fragrances, natural fragrances (like essential oils), or a combination of the two, but you may want to steer clear of additives if you have sensitive skin. “These can be irritating and pose a potential risk for an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis,” says Dr. Garshick. Otherwise, the right scent can work to elevate the experience. Lavender, for example, is a popular scent that can help you drift off to sleep , while energizing scents like ginger and eucalyptus can provide a jolt of energy.

How to use bath salts

They're pretty easy to use! Once you have your salts,  simply pour in the recommended amount into warm bathwater. Dr. Garshick also recommends soaking for up to 15 minutes unless otherwise directed and using bath salts up to three times per week.

The 10 best bath salts for full-body bliss

Key ingredients: Epsom salt, lavender oil

This Epsom salt soak from Dr. Teal’s has Dr. Garshick’s stamp of approval for relieving stress and muscle pain—and I love it, too. Its lavender scent wafts from the bag, and it lingers when the salt is poured into warm bathwater. Be it from the Epsom salt, the soothing scent of lavender, or both, I leave my bathtub in a state of bliss, which makes drifting off to sleep much easier. One bag will last you a long time, and you can shop it in two sizes. The 3-pound option costs less than $6, making it budget-friendly and accessible for bathing enthusiasts of all budgets.

Scent: L avender

Size: 3 lb. and 7 lbs.

• Scented with soothing lavender
• Vegan and cruelty-free
• Accessible and affordable
• Comes in two sizes
• Not ideal for those sensitive to fragrance

Key ingredients: Epsom salt

If you’re sensitive to fragrance, Dr. Teal’s also offers a fragrance-free version of the Pure Epsom Salt Soak. The ingredient list is simple: it’s made with just Epsom salt and skips out on parabens and phthalates that may potentially irritate delicate skin. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free. For a little under $5, you’ll receive a 4-pound bag, making it the most budget-friendly pick on the list. If anything, it only comes in one size—a trade-off for people who might want something smaller (or larger).

Scent: F ragrance-free

Size: 4 lbs.

• Ideal for people who are sensitive to fragrance
• Free of parabens and phthalates
• Most budget-friendly option on the list
• Only one size available

Key ingredients: Dead Sea salt

If you want to bring the sea to you, consider Maude’s bath soak. Its primary ingredient is mineral-rich Dead Sea salt, which, as Dr. Fusco previously mentioned, works to lessen inflammation and soothe dry skin. There are three scents to choose from, each with a distinct vibe to elevate your bath experience. The first is No. 1, a warm blend of amber, clove, and tonka bean. Then there’s No. 2, which combines pink pepper with California lemon and cedarwood. The last option is No. 3, a fresh fragrance with a woody base of sandalwood and Haitian vetiver.

Scent: No. 1 (amber, cedar leaf, clove, lemongrass, medjool date, tonka bean), No. 2 (pink pepper, gurjun balsam, California lemon, Virginia cedarwood) and No. 3 (eucalyptus, sandalwood, cassis, Haitian vetiver)

Size: 4 and 8 oz.

• Helps soothe skin
• Free of parabens
• Available in multiple scents

Key ingredients: Epsom, Pacifica, Dead Sea, Himalayan salts, French green clay, jojoba oil

Bathing Culture’s Big Dipper Mineral Bath contains not one but four types of bath salts—namely, Epsom, Pacifica, Dead Sea, and Himalayan salts. The relaxing blend is rounded out with French green clay to gently slough off dead skin cells and moisturizing jojoba oil to leave your limbs soft and smooth. As for the scent, it’s made from 100 percent naturally derived ingredients and evokes the lush scent of a redwood forest. A bonus: The product comes in an attractive glass jar with an aluminum lid that can be recycled or reused infinitely.

Scent: Cathedral Grove

Size: 8 oz.

• Combines four types of salt
• Helps to exfoliate and moisture skin
• Free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates
• Recyclable packaging

Key ingredients: Epsom salt, Dead Sea salt, CBD

Not Pot’s bath salt soak combines Epsom and Dead Sea salts with 300 milligrams of CBD, making it the ideal wind-down at the end of the day. You can select from two options—the Muscle Soak, which contains peppermint that provides a cooling sensation to alleviate muscle aches, or the Sleep Soak, which is infused with lavender to offer you some peace of mind. Even though it skips out on synthetic fragrances, it’s formulated with fragrant oils, so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive to essential oils. While there is only one size available, the 24-ounce bag should last you up to three baths.

Scent: Peppermint or lavender

Size: 24 oz.

• Contains Epsom and Dead Sea salts
• Infused with 300 mg of sustainably sourced CBD
• Comes in two options

Key ingredients: S odium chloride, magnesium sulfate, colloidal oatmeal

If your muscles are as tight as a fist, you might want to try Tenoverten’s bath soak, which is recommended (and used) by Isabella Boylston , a professional ballet dancer based in New York. “The bath ritual is honestly as much about relaxing my mind as it is about my physical body,” Boylston previously told Well+Good , and the bath soak delivers on several fronts.

It’s made with Epsom salt and arnica extract—two ingredients that help Bolyston relieve muscle aches—and a bevy of skin-soothing ingredients, like colloidal oatmeal, jojoba oil, and aloe. There is also the scent (a blend of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils), which is meant to be reminiscent of “a spa day,” said Bolyston. In addition to being vegan and cruelty-free, the formula is also eight-free, so it’s formulated without harsh chemicals like formaldehyde and xylene.

Scent: E ucalyptus and peppermint

Size: 16 oz.

• Aids in muscle recovery and relaxation
• Helps to moisture skin
• Eight-free formula

Key ingredients: Epsom salt, CBD, meadowfoam seed oil

Prima packages Epsom salt as fizzy bath bombs. Besides Epsom salt, the bomb releases moisturizing meadowfoam seed oil and 25 milligrams of broad-spectrum CBD oil into your bathwater to eliminate the need for body lotion after your soak. Couple that with its eucalyptus and lavender scent, and you’re promised to emerge from the tub in a more relaxed state of mind. One bath bomb will set you back $15, but for a few more dollars, you can purchase it as a set of four. Plus, you can rest easy knowing that the product is made vegan and cruelty-free.

Scent: E ucalyptus and lavender

Size: 6 oz./ bath bomb

• Helps to moisturize skin
• Infused with 25 mg of broad-spectrum CBD
• Available in a set of four

If you want the most bang for your buck, consider this option from Yareli. It packs Dead Sea salt flakes imported straight from Israel in a 15-pound bag, and it’ll only set you back just a little over $33. What’s more, the product is EWG-verified, vegan, cruelty-free, and made with no unnecessary ingredients. It’s also available in 3- and 5-pound bags, and in six options, including an unscented version, which is ideal for those who are sensitive to fragrance. If anything, it might leave behind some residue after your bath—a tradeoff for those who want something that is as easy to clean as it is to use.

Scent: U nscented, almond, eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary mint, tea tree

Size: 3, 5, and 15 lbs.

• Largest option on the list
• EWG-verified
• Available in multiple scents, including unscented version
• Comes in three sizes
• May leave behind residue in bathtub

Key ingredients: French gray sea salt, French green clay

If you want to make your bath as luxurious as possible, opt for bath salts made from Pursoma, a brand that prioritizes making products using quality ingredients. We love the Digital Detox, which contains organic gray sea salt and green clay both harvested in France, and leaves out fragrance, parabens, and sulfates. The ingredients work together to soothe skin and whisk away dead skin cells. One tradeoff: it’s expensive—a bag of the stuff (which only has enough product for one bath) will set you back $28, but this is the price to pay for its quality.

Scent: Fra grance-free

Size: 10 oz.

• Helps to exfoliate skin
• Free of parabens and sulfates
• Available in several variations
• Priciest option on the list
• Single-use size

Key ingredients: Himalayan and Dead Sea salts, palo santo, lavender, and vetiver essential oils, butterfly pea flowers

What sets the Sounds Mystic Bath Salts from the others on the list is its versatility. Use it as you would a bath salt, or mix it with honey and massage it into your skin as a body scrub. It’s made with a combination of Himalayan and Dead Sea salts and is scented with a woodsy-floral blend of palo santo, lavender, and vetiver. To add to the experience, the product contains butterfly pea flower, which will tint your bathwater an otherworldly sapphire blue (don’t worry, it won’t stain the tub). If anything, we wish it came larger, but the manufacturer indicates that one packet will last up to five baths. Also, be sure to store as instructed—the product contains no additives or preservatives, and when exposed to light or oxygen, it’ll affect its quality and color.

Scent: P alo santo, lavender, and vetiver

Size: 6.7 oz.

• Both a bath soak and body scrub
• Contains Himalayan and Dead sea salts
• Free of additives and preservatives
• Smallest option on the list

The 10 Best Bath Salts for a Truly Relaxing Evening

PureWow editors select every item that appears on this page, and the company may earn compensation through affiliate links within the story. All prices are accurate upon date of publish. You can learn more about the affiliate process here .

At the end of a particularly stressful day, there’s nothing quite as relaxing as lighting a few candles and taking a nice, hot bath. While bubbles and shower bombs are a great touch, if you really want to elevate your soak session , you’re going to want to throw the best bath salts into the mix. Different types claim to have different benefits, but we’re here to help you narrow down the best ones for the ultimate routine.

What Are Bath Salts?

Unlike many bubble baths or bath bombs, bath salts are made from either Epsom salt (aka magnesium sulfate) or different types of sea salt with beneficial properties. They typically dissolve into the hot water, transforming it into a spa-like experience.

How to Use Bath Salts

While the directions for each brand will be a little different, typically, you should add a few handfuls of bath salt to a tub filled with hot water and let it dissipate. But don’t overdo it: You don’t want to oversaturate the water and end up with salt crystals you’ll have to wash out later. You also don’t want to add so few that you can’t experience the benefits of the salts.

What Do Bath Salts Do?

Bath salts do much more than make your tub smell good. According to experts, the magnesium of epsom salt itself may be able to infiltrate the skin to relieve chronic low back pain and headaches , boost your mood and relieve anxiety . Some even claim that it can reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetes and all-cause mortality.

Other ingredients found in bath salts, such as lavender, rose, chamomile and aloe, which may have anti-inflammatory properties , offer additional advantages that include everything from detoxifying the skin to soothing sore muscles. Plus, you can even add essential oils to them for various aromatherapy benefits. Talk about the perfect way to treat yourself after a long day!

To help you figure out which ones to add to your next bath, we’ve done the deep research into the claims (and even tested some brands ourselves) to find out which ones are actually worth buying. Here are our recommendations.

The Best Bath Salts at a Glance

These CBD-Infused Bath Salts from Lord Jones Chill Me Out in Two Minutes Flat

Best Overall Bath Salt

1. dr teal's lavender and pink himalayan mineral soaks.

• Pros: Inexpensive, pure Epsom and Himalayan salt
• Cons: Scent can be overwhelming

Dr Teal’s is a big name in the bath salt game. While it may not have the most aesthetically pleasing packaging, the overall quality of this soak is all the reason people need to keep coming back to it again and again for their bath needs. This blend, in particular, is ideal for restoration after a long day. It features Epsom salt for soreness, pink Himalayan salt for recharging and bergamot and orange essential oils for stress.

Best Himalayan Bath Salt

2. royal chef house himalayan pink bath salts, royal chef house.

• Pros: 100 pure Himalayan salt, mineral rich
• Cons : Extra-coarse texture

For the most natural soak, you’re going to want a bath salt in its purest form. This one is made up entirely of 100 percent natural Himalayan salt, which has detoxing, hydrating and relaxing properties. It’s so pure, in fact, that you technically could use this stuff for cooking, though we recommend saving it exclusively for bath time. You can add as much or as little as you like to your tub, depending on how much detoxing you need.

Best Bath Salts For Stress

3. aveda stress-fix bath salts.

• Pros: Exfoliates like a scrub, decreases stress
• Cons : Expensive

These bath salts from Aveda were designed with stress in mind. They’re packed with lavender, lavandin and clary sage essential oils that will make your tension slip away as you soak. They also contain organic sugar for some additional exfoliation during your bath. The best part, however? The relaxing scents will linger on for hours post-tub for a calming effect that lasts well into the night.

Most Moisturizing

4. tree hut shea moisturizing bath salts.

• Pros: Inexpensive, hydrating shea butter, smells good
• Cons: Bags don’t zip easily

Not only should a bath salt relax you, but it should also give your skin some much-needed moisture instead of drying it out. This one from Tree Hut is quite popular for these purposes, as it contains shea butter for added hydration. It also features nourishing coconut and lime extract, which will also leave you smelling incredible for hours on end.

Best for Detoxing

5. pursoma digital detox bath salts.

• Pros: Free of BPA, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, draws out toxins, 30-minute bath session
• Cons: Single-use

For a more serious soaking session, this Pursoma Digital Detox bath soak will take you to new heights as you put down your phone and dive into a 30-minute bath. It contains sea salt to stimulate circulation and ease sore muscles as well as French green clay, which is meant to soften your skin and draw out toxins. The detox doesn’t end with the bath, though: The brand advises you to lay under a blanket immediately afterward to sweat out even more gunk.

Most Calming

6. herbivore calm bath salts.

• Pros: Vegan and cruelty-free, two types of salt
• Cons: Only four uses per bottle

Stressful day? The Himalayan pink salt and Pacific sea salt found within this Herbivore bath salt aim to aid in muscle relaxation, while ylang-ylang and vanilla essences go to work calming the nervous system. The result? A feeling of pure euphoric bliss once you leave the tub.

Best for Athletes

7. coach soak muscle recovery bath salts.

• Pros: Energizing citrus oils, designed to speed up muscle recovery
• Cons Smell can be strong

An intense workout session calls for some serious attention to one’s muscles. You can forget the ice bath, though: This comforting bath salt mixture has energizing citrus essence to wake you up. It also features magnesium flakes, mineral-rich dead sea salts, vitamin C crystals and pure essential oils—ingredients that are said to reduce inflammation and speed up the post-sweat recovery process.

Best Foaming Bath Salts

8. dove foaming bath salts.

• Pros Budget-friendly, creates bubbles, fresh floral scent
• Cons Fragrance lingers in the tub

Want the benefits of a bath salt but the foaming fun of a bubble bath? Look no further than these Dove bath salts. With rose, peony and jasmine petals, this pick will have you feeling like you’re being enveloped in a field of flowers as it soothes your tired, sore muscles. Both sulfate-free and paraben-free, this plant-based option creates a light, bubbly foam while naturally moisturizing your dry, rough skin. As an added bonus, the bottle comes from 100% recycled materials.

Best Scented Bath Salts

9. provence beauty pink himalayan bath salts, provence beauty.

• Pros: Budget-friendly, smells heavenly, cruelty-free
• Cons: May collect salt in the tub

It's a little known fact that you can add rose petals to just about anything to up your fancy factor—take, for instance, these Dead Sea pink salts, which are also laced with grapefruit and ylang-ylang essential oils for a light, uplifting blend. With larger crystals to scrub away dead skin cells and keep your epidermis silky-soft, they exfoliate on the outside while also allowing you to soak up vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, potassium, zinc and more. Better yet, they're said to be cruelty-free.

Best for Sleep

10. aromatika himalayan salt pink crystal salt.

• Pros : Simple, natural ingredients, good size and texture
• Cons : Takes a while to melt

Options are good. Options with simple, natural, and healing ingredients are even better. This blend, which customers say has a "just right" size and consistency, is about as uncontaminated of a bath salt as you'll find, with its 100 percent pure essential and carrier oils (all the better for relaxation and sleep). Soaking in it after a workout class will reportedly soothe those sore muscles, too.

French Spa Bath Salts

by Marie | Mar 29, 2021 | Bath & Shower Stuff , Other 2021 Favourites | 8 comments

With everything that’s been going on in the world for the last year, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been to a proper spa, but these DIY French Spa Bath Salts make for a fantastic at-home spa experience. They smell just like a proper, luxurious spa and transform your bath water into a silky, fragrant treat. Swoon!

Want to watch this project instead of reading it?

Being bath salts, the bulk of this product is… salt! I’ve used four different salts. The bulk of the salt blend is velvet French Gray Sea Salt . It’s super smooth, fine salt—almost more like flour than salt. It feels surprisingly creamy, and dissolves very quickly when added to baths. Up next—Epsom salt for soothing sore muscles, and then some plain ol’ sea salt. You can play with the salt blend a bit, but make sure you keep the grain size of the salts fairly small so they dissolve in the bathwater and you don’t end up feeling like you’re sitting on gravel in the tub.

The fourth salt is dendritic salt, which is a special high surface area salt. While it looks like regular table salt to the naked eye, that high surface area makes it extra awesome and a key ingredient when creating free-flowing bath salts. Dendritic salt boosts fragrance retention and prevents clumping, meaning our bath salts don’t fuse into a bath brick in their jar after sitting on a shelf for a while. I consider that to be a pretty essential characteristic of bath salts, which makes dendritic salt an essential ingredient. To learn more, please refer to the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia .

I’m using Brambleberry’s new Frosted sea glass fragrance to scent these bath salts because  oh my, it smells just like an expensive spa . It’s fresh and green, with notes of humidity and moss and clean seaside air. Brambleberry describes it as “a fresh mix of bergamot, lily of the valley, dewy greens, water, ozone, lavender, eucalyptus, cedarwood, oakmoss, resin, and musk.” You could use something else that you love, but if you love fresh, spa-like scents, you might want to give this fragrance oil a try.

Making the bath salts are easy; massage the wet things (the fragrance + solubilizer) into the dendritic salt with gloved hands, and then blend in the rest of the salts. You will need to spread the salts out and leave them to dry for two or three days before packaging, but that’s about it. It’s really simple!

French Spa Bath Salts 25g | 10% dendritic salt ( USA / Canada ) 1.25g | 0.5% Frosted sea glass fragrance 2.5g | 1% Polysorbate 80 ( USA / Canada ) 71.25g | 28.5% Epsom salt 62.5g | 25% fine sea salt ( USA / Canada ) 87.5g | 35% French grey sea salt (velvet) Weigh the dendritic salt, Polysorbate 80, and fragrance into a bowl. Mix together with gloved hands until uniform. Add the rest of the salts, and massage together until uniform. Spread the mixture out on a cookie sheet and leave it to dry for two or three days before packaging. I used a pretty apothecary-style jar with a cork top and wooden spoon from YellowBee . To use, add a few tablespoons (or more—it’s up to you!) to a running bath and enjoy! Shelf Life & Storage Because these bath salts do not contain any water, they do not require a broad-spectrum preservative (broad spectrum preservatives ward off microbial growth, and microbes require water to live—no water, no microbes!). Kept reasonably cool and dry, these bath salts should last two or three years. Substitutions As always, be aware that making substitutions will change the final product. While these swaps won’t break the recipe, you will get a different final product than I did. As I’ve provided this recipe in percentages as well as grams you can easily calculate it to any size using a simple spreadsheet as I’ve explained in this post . As written in grams this recipe will make 250g. To learn more about the ingredients used in this formulation, including why they’re included and what you can substitute them with, please visit the Humblebee & Me Encyclopedia . It doesn’t have everything in it yet, but there’s lots of good information there! If I have not given a specific substitution suggestion in this list please look up the ingredient in the encyclopedia before asking. You could try Natrasorb instead of dendritic salts. I really recommend including something that’ll help keep the bath salts from seizing into a solid lump. Polysorbate 20 should work instead of Polysorbate 80 . You can play around with the salt blend, though you may need to re-test the finished product to ensure it doesn’t seize. You could use a different bath-safe fragrance oil.

Gifting Disclosure

The apothecary jar was gifted by YellowBee . The French grey salt, fragrance oil, and Epsom salts were gifted by Brambleberry .

Hi! I keep seeing bath salt recipes with essential oils but they aren’t dispersed in a carrier oil. Is it not necessary in the bath salts? I can see how it wouldn’t properly dry with oil mixed in, but want to make sure the essential oils wouldn’t hurt anybody. 🙂

Dilution is dilution; it doesn’t have to be in a carrier oil. You do have to be sure that the essential oils will disperse in the bathwater, though! That’s why this formulation includes a solubilizer . Happy making!

I’m so excited to try out this recipe! I am wondering if some coarse pink salt could be added, just for looks, without changing the outcome too much. Thanks!!

Probably—try it and see! And remember this from the post: “You can play with the salt blend a bit, but make sure you keep the grain size of the salts fairly small so they dissolve in the bathwater and you don’t end up feeling like you’re sitting on gravel in the tub.”

Can you add a milk powder or clay to this recipe? If so, at what percentage would you suggest?

Hi, I can’t find dendritic salt or natrasorb locally, is there any other alternative that i can use for the clumping issue?

If you want a truly luxurious soak, why not add bath salts the next time you run a bath ? You can purchase or make bath salts with your favorite type of salt. Leave the bath salts as they are or mix in colors or essential oils for fragrance. You can also use bath salts in the shower or as exfoliating body scrubs . Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about incorporating bath salts into your beauty routine.

Things You Should Know

• Generally speaking, a full bathtub of water needs about 1/2 a cup of bath salts.
• But if you want a more concentrated bath salt experience, you can always try including another quarter of a cup.
• For a therapy bath, include 1-2 cups of epsom salts instead.

Adding Salts to Your Bath

• For a very simple bath salt, you can simply use dye and fragrance-free Epsom salts.

• For a therapy bath, consider using 1 to 2 cups (240 to 480 g) of Epsom salts. The high levels of magnesium in the salts can reduce muscle ache.

• Ask your doctor about how often you can use bath salts, especially if you have a medical condition.
• If your bath salts contain oils, use caution when getting out of the tub. The oils may make the bottom of the tub slippery.

Enhancing Your Experience

• If you're mixing different colors of bath salts, keep them in separate containers since the colors may bleed into each other as the bath salts are stored.

• For example, for an energizing bath, include grapefruit, bergamot, and peppermint essential oils.
• For example, if you have acne-prone skin, add a few drops of tea tree, geranium, or lavender essential oil.

• Baking soda can soften your skin and remove chlorine from the bath water.

• Rose petals

Using Bath Salts in Different Ways

• Consider adding up to 15 drops of essential oils known for soothing muscles. These include wintergreen, basil, bergamot, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and Douglas fir.

• Always moisturize your skin after getting out of the bath to keep your skin hydrated.
• Epsom salts can also help with hemorrhoid-related inflammation.

• You can store the shower scrub in an airtight plastic container. Ensure that water doesn't get into the container when you're opening it in the shower or you may introduce bacteria into the scrub.

• Avoid soaking your feet in bath salts if you have diabetes. Soaking your feet can dry out your feet and cause cracking that may lead to infection.

Community Q&A

Things You'll Need

Administering the salts into the bath.

• Essential oils
• Storage container
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Baking soda
• Food coloring
• Dried herbs
• If you're pregnant, avoid using bath salts that contain Dead Sea salts. The high mineral content can make the water too hot and increase your heart rate. [13] X Research source Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

How To Create An Amazing Bath with Quality Salts

Updated: Jun 23, 2023

Do yourself a huge favor in 2021 and don’t allow 2020 to follow you there! There’s a saying on Pinterest “ Don’t ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday.” We can say the same about the year 2020. Yes, there were crises and challenges, but there was unlimited potential for growth, as a country, nation, but as an individual. Did you learn what you were supposed to? “Self-care is essential to success.”

Hi, i’m toni reid. nice to virtually meet you i’m a certified travel agent, owner of across n abroad travel. one of the most important instructions given by the airline has always been how to put the mask on your own face we had no idea it would require us to wear a mask one block from our home just to get milk. i know- you may travel with your loved ones: mom, dad, children, spouse… and the reaction you may have is, “i’ll think of others first save them to show i care” but you cannot help anyone if you’re not here. and we need to be here for our family and to seize our own new opportunities. it’s not selfish to save yourself first my goal is to expose (no pun intended) you to insights that feature beauty, culture, and adventure, all under the umbrella of self-care and safety first. sometimes you can have that right in your backyard; other times you must step outside of your comfort zone to have this experience. across n abroad travel has a mission to facilitate travel comfortability, whether you do so solo or with a group..

All people are sensitive to their environment. Some more than others. The pandemic made us more aware of where we are and the conditions under which we conduct our daily lives. I found that navigating what used to be simple tasks, left me exhausted; needing relaxation and self-care. I began searching for easy and economical ways to accomplish this goal. I found that many cultures use the ritual of salt baths. Through my travels, I gained an appreciation for this ancient therapeutic regime. There are many spas around the world that inspire us to practice this art of self-love.

The Origins

Ancient greeks believed baths could draw out toxins from our bodies and soothe our nerves. romans believed the ritual of increasing water temperatures to hot (thermos) and then to cold (frigidarium) would relax our body. if you visit athen, greece today, you would see a bathing ruin from 3rd and 4th a. d. existing under a canopy of the athens subway. it’s within walking distance from the national gardens and temple of olympian zeus . definitely a must-see on your trip to athens., if you are thinking of bathing as just a means to get clean, you could miss out.

Are Salt Baths Good For You?

When you soak in a bath of salt, it is important to note that not just any salt will do. the salt most effective is not really a salt; at least not like your table salt, although one of them could be... the theory has it -the proper bath salts can relax muscles, reduce stress, and loosen stiff joints. sounds good to you two of the most popular are the dead sea salt and epson salt and … yes i believe they are good for you..

Salts... ( What are the ingredients and how to use:)

You can use your bath salt in two different ways. it is important to note that epsom salt or dead sea salts are not really salt, but magnesium that have various soothing properties. they are called salts simply because the crystals look like salt. do your research and buy high-quality salts that have few additives except for maybe essential oils. then, when you are ready to bathe, simply wet your skin, use a soft cloth dipped in the salt sand your favorite body cleanser and directly apply on your skin in a small circular motion starting from your feet upward towards your heart or; you could dissolve the salts into your entire bath water for overall results. some brands cater to specific mental or physical ailments by adding additional ingredients like essential oils designed to relax and soothe..

Lavender, Rosehip, Frankincense, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Cypress, Roman Chamomile and Orange oils are just a few oils that can be added for their various healing, soothing or energetic elements. Some are so relaxing you must be sure to use caution when exiting the bath. Do your homework and find the right essential oil for your needs. In fact, why not create a menu of recipes for your bathing experience! Just like our food, purchase quality salts and oils that have fewer and natural added ingredients.

Dead sea salts harvested from jordan, israel, palestine are said to contain 21 minerals that our bodies can easily absorb in order to conquer depression, inflammation, and migraines., epsom salts are noted for recovering from sports injuries, swollen joints and aches, and pain., my favorite two are: spa restore epsom bath salts by the white company and ahava dead sea mineral bath salt, we use bath salts for bathing by mixing in water or scrubbing on skin. bath salts have not only beauty benefits, but various health benefits as well. different bath salt brands provide intense relaxation to mental and physical ailments..

What Are The Benefits?

Loughborough university scientists investigated the effect of a hot “salt” bath. wanna know what they found when a tense body enters a warm bath, it raises the body temperature and relaxes the muscles. salt baths can produce positive feelings, boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. they can also detoxify, suppress pain, relieve stress, hydrate skin, refresh and improve circulation. as always, consult your doctor before adopting a new regimen., how to enjoy a good salt bath, first, check with your doctor about how long and how often you should soak with a salt. follow the instructions on the package about dosage. find your favorite salt and your favorite chill song. for me, right now, " live out your love featuring toni braxton" by kem, thank you by estelle, and emotional rollercoaster by vivian green. by the way- don’t miss our february blogs featuring “all things love”. you’ve now set the tone for a wonderful experience:, as a bath - add salt and essential oil (if desired) to water while running and swirl your hands to disperse. dim the lights and add a candle such as the plant-derived lavender terra candle by p.f. candle co. or use battery-operated options. prepare water for drinking from your favorite glass to hydrate your body while you are likely to sweat, turn on your favorite playlist, hang your do not disturb sign, and close the door. enjoy…, in the shower - sprinkle bath salts along the floor of the shower and hang a eucalyptus plant from the showerhead. steam helps activate and release those oils into the air, allowing you to breathe in a cleansing aromatic which feels like a personal aromatherapy sauna just for you. and just like a bath, set the mood with candles and music., as an exfoliant - salt is too abrasive for our delicate faces but perfect for trouble spots like elbows, knees, and the bottoms of the feet. safely secure your stance or seat and massage the salt onto your feet with circular motions. prepare to receive the removal of dead skin and revealing of glowing skin. paint those toes and moisturize until the next pedicure..

Spas are amazing and there are many around the world worth visiting. Personally, sometimes I go for the total experience, right here at home. I eat or challenge myself to cook a travel-inspired dish. Try a wine like Scarlet of Paris Rose or beverage from the region. If I’m not too tired, I find a movie on Netflix - like Troy A Falling City relating to my destination or culture.
