Epsom salt?

Question

I understand that you can bath in Epsom Salts and its said to relax the body? How often can you bathe in Epsom Salts? is it dangerous or safe to use if you have dry skin?

Answer 1

It may help soothe you (generally good to use to soak an infection - or a sprain).

Read the back of the box or bag and see what it says.
I would think a bath a week wouldn't be to harmful.

Follow up with a good cream that hydrates [not mineral oils
or petroleum based products (vaseline, baby oils)]

* I have dry skin and use a sea salt shower scrub daily and it helps soften not dry!

Answer 2

Hello,

For a relaxing soak: Add two cups of Epsom Salt to the water in a standard-sized bathtub; soak for at least 12 minutes, three times weekly. For an extra treat, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil for a refreshing scent.
To exfoliate: Mix 2 cups of Epsom Salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Use the mixture to gently scrub away dry skin patches.
Facial: Mix 1/2 TSP of Epsom Salt into cleansing cream for a deep-pore cleansing. Massage on skin. Rinse with cool water. Pat dry.
Spa treatment: After showering, massage handfuls of Epsom Salt over wet skin to exfoliate the body. It's the same treatment many upscale spas use, without the upscale price!
Bath crystals: Mix two cups of Epsom Salt with a few drops of fragrance to create a custom bath crystal. Add a few drops of food coloring or 1/2 TSP of glycerin if you like. Store in an air-tight container.
