- 2 cups (16 ounce) Epsom Salt
- A few drops of your favorite fragrance (vanilla,
lavender, etc.)
- A few drops of food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoons of glycerin for moisturizing (optional)
Store in a re-sealable container to keep
out moisture.
Add Body to Your Hair
Combine 3 tablespoons of deep conditioner with 3 tablespoons
of Epsom Salt. Microwave the mixture for 20 seconds. Work
the warm mixture through your hair from scalp to ends and
leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Promotes
body and life in your hair and restores curl to premed hair.
Smoother Softer Skin
To cleanse and exfoliate, massage handfuls of Epsom Salt
over your wet skin, starting with the feet and continuing up
toward the face. Then, pour two cups into a bath of warm
water. Lean back and relax. As you soak, the natural action
of Epsom Salt helps soften the rough, dry patches of your
skin.
Soothe Minor Sprains and Bruises
Epsom Salt is like chicken soup for muscle aches and pains.
It's a pure mineral product that helps reduce swelling, with
no side effects whatsoever! After putting your body through
a workout, sink yourself in a warm Epsom bath and experience
soothing relief fast.
Dislodge Blackheads
Add 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salt and three drops of iodine to
1/2 cup of boiling water. After the mixture has cooled a
bit, dip strips of cotton into the solution and apply to the
problem area.
Repeat three or four times, reheating the solution if
necessary. Then, gently unclog your pore, and go over the
area with an alcohol-based astringent.
Relief from Everyday Stress
Instead of reaching for a cocktail to unwind, reach for the
salt --Epsom Salt, that is! A nice, long Epsom soak in the
privacy of your own bath is more convenient than the health
club's whirlpool bath. And you can safely soak as long as
you'd like. Go ahead, you deserve it!
