Benefits of Epsom Salt for Skin

Epsom salt is amazing for skin! It has a slight abrasive texture that makes it able to gently slough off dead cells from skin. Epsom salt also promotes blood circulation which enables nutrients to flow to all skin cells. If you want to reduce puffiness or fluid retention, you can also use Epsom salt and it works great!

Did you know that Epsom salt also has detoxifying properties? Yes, that’s right! It deeply cleanses pores and drives out all kinds of gunk stuck beneath your skin’s surface.

What’s more is that Epsom salt is rich in magnesium, a mineral that is best absorbed into the body through the skin!

Okay, without further ado, let’s check out this easy Epsom salt scrub recipe, shall we?!

What you need:

½ cup Epsom salt
2 tbsp jojoba oil
1 vitamin E capsule
1 tbsp crushed lavender flowers or rose petals
Optional: 7 drops your favorite essential oil (geranium essential oil, lavender essential oil, etc)
Glass bowl for mixing
Air tight container

Directions:

Begin by crushing your herbs (lavender flowers, rose petals, chamomile flowers, etc) using a mortar and pestle.
Now in a glass bowl, add ½ cup Epsom salt followed by 2 tbsp jojoba oil. Pierce a Vitamin E capsule and squeeze out the oil into the bowl.
Add your crushed herbs and mix them in evenly throughout the salt mixture.
Finally, if you’re using it, add 7 drops of your favorite essential oil and stir everything again.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container in a cool dry place. Do not get water or any other contaminants in it.
Your Epsom salt scrub is ready for use!
To use as a face scrub, gently apply 1/2 or 1 tsp of it all over your face then rinse off with warm water and pat your face dry with a towel.
To use it as a body scrub, take 1-2 tbsp of your scrub in a bowl to the shower with you. Gently scrub it on your wet skin in the shower, rinse it off then lather up with soap as usual. You can use this every other day on your body. For your face, 1-2 times a week is enough.
