The Benefits Of Using Homemade Bath Salts
Every time I went to the convenience store, I would see an entire aisle of beauty products including colorful bath salts. Fascinating as they were to me, I would simply look but not buy. Who actually uses bath salts at home? I hadn't a clue on what they really were, and what they were for. Just no plain idea on what help they would do me.
Little did I know about the world of aromatherapy and how mother nature's elements would enrich me in all facets of life. And these bath salts are the closest thing to taking a natural mineral bath in a hot spring, for they are made up of epsom salt and dead sea salt. I can take a hand full of these salts and massage them into my skin to get the dead ones off. And while I'm getting the dead skin off, I'm putting some moisture back in! What do you know? Nice natural remedy to soothe my mind, body, and soul, eh? So, naturally it would be neat to make a jar full of these at home.
Why is exfoliating the skin so important? Well, when you do you are opening the pores and encouraging the sweat and bacteria to purge itself and attach to the bath salts in the bath water. When your pores are so fresh and so clean of all that gunk, you are taking away the ammo to create pimples! The thought of that should make you feel all the more happy and content.
But, what's this? There's even more benefits dealing with bug bites and skin rashes? Fantastic! I can use epson bath salts on areas of the skin that have been affected with minor rashes and infections, Athlete's Foot and psoriasis, eczema and whatnot. So nice to treat all of that in one fell swoop. (Though I hope I don't get hit with everything all at once!)
And, if you are feeling that your muscles are tense from such a tiresome day, or if you exercised a bit too hard, you can be assured that epson bath salts can be massaged into the joints and tendons so the muscles inside can calm down and feel at ease.
If you have ever thought about how smelling something really nice has oftentimes changed your mood, then you will enjoy the fact that this is what aromatherapy is all about. When you smell essence oils like rose hips and peppermint you can relieve stress and anxiety, and ultimately ease your mind.
If you stay in the bath long enough, be careful as your fingers will lose water and look like raisins. There's only so much that the Epsom bath salts can do, as they do adjust the composition of the bath water and create a protective layer on the skin so that water does not enter or leave too much.
You can only imagine how much fantastic you will feel knowing that you made these bath salts right at home, where you got to choose what scents, what colors, and what beautiful jar you put the salts into. All those health and beauty benefits in one small jar.
