Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) 200 g

Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate - benefits of use

Epsom salt is often used in cosmetics for skin and hair care. It was originally mined in Surrey, England, and the unique composition of the salt is saturated with magnesium sulfate, sulfur and oxygen. Epsom salt saturates our body with magnesium minerals and acts as follows: magnesium absorbs carbon and its derivatives, which toxins consist of, and sulfur is involved in the production of metallothionein and glutathione, thanks to which heavy metals are removed from the body. In addition, magnesium and sulfur have an antibacterial effect, accelerate tissue regeneration processes. Epsom salt will become an indispensable assistant for spa treatments, therapeutic body baths or strengthening nail baths at home.

Therapeutic use of English salt

To relax our nervous system, it is not necessary to drink soothing herbs or consult a psychologist. Home SPA procedures can perform several functions at once: both cosmetic and psychological. Just fill a warm bath with water and add Epsom salt to it, which performs the following cosmetic tasks.
 

Cosmetic properties of magnesium sulfate

As we wrote above, magnesium sulfate has the ability to saturate the body with magnesium and sulfur ions, which are perfectly absorbed by the skin during a warm relaxing bath. This procedure allows you to replenish the lack of magnesium and start the rejuvenation processes of the body. The antiseptic properties of salt are very useful for problem skin (pimples, acne, psoriasis or various forms of dermatitis). When applied to the skin, magnesium sulfate deeply cleanses the pores and softens rough areas of the body, and also has a slight exfoliating effect.
 

Help in getting rid of cellulite

Using baths with Epsom salt, you not only relax your nervous system and start the processes of skin detoxification, but also get an anti-cellulite effect. This effect is explained by the fact that salt improves metabolic processes in the body and is able to remove excess water and decay products. To enhance the anti-cellulite effect, it is recommended to mix Epsom salt with anti-cellulite essential oils.

Often, anti-cellulite scrubs are prepared based on Epsom salt, simply by mixing salt with honey and essential oils (or with oil and essential oils). You can also prepare anti-cellulite wraps by dissolving 2 tablespoons of salt in 0.5 cups of warm water, then soak gauze in this solution and wrap problem areas with it for 20 minutes. The effectiveness of such a procedure is demonstrated with regularity of procedures 2-3 times a week for 3-4 weeks.

SPA baths with Epsom salt

In order to carry out a real cosmetic ritual, you will need to simply fill the bath with water at a temperature of 39-42 °C and add 200-500 g of Epsom salt to it, having previously mixed a few drops of your favorite essential oil in the salt. To enhance the effect of detoxification of the body, you can take a bath, sipping chilled herbal tea.

To relax your legs after a hard day, you need to immerse them in a warm bath. To do this, dissolve 30-50 g of salt in several liters of water and immerse your feet in it. This procedure will reduce fatigue, soothe pain, remove unpleasant odor and soften the skin of your feet.
