BEAUTY WITH EPSOM SALTS

EPSOM SALT SCRUB #1:

EXFOLIATE DRY, DULL SKIN

Try this body scrub to remove the surface layer of dead skin cells.  Mix two 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 patches. Exfoliate weekly to keep skin silky smooth. It's also a good way to loosen up any ingrown hairs before shaving or after a bikini wax to keep pores open to prevent bumps.

EPSOM SALT SCRUB #2:

PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD

Everyone loves a clean, natural look for summer, and it's easy to achieve glowing results with this easy at-home facial. For a fresh, dewy complexion, mix 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom salt into cleansing cream. Gently massage on skin in circular motions to remove any dry skin cells and to help unclog pores. It works great to remove blackheads around the nose. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. Apply your favorite moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher.

EPSOM SALT SCRUB #3:

GET SOFT AND SMOOTH FEET

We all notice how smooth and soft our feet feel after a day at the beach. That's because of the combination of the exfoliating powers of sand and salt water.  To get this feeling at home without walking on hot sand, simply soak your soles in a foot bath of Epsom salt. Add one cup of Epsom Salt to a tub of warm water. Soak for ten minutes. Then, mix two cups of Epsom Salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Use the mixture to gently scrub the entire foot, concentrating on the heels and ankles to remove any dry, rough spots.

Epsom salt is extremely affordable and easy to find at most grocery, hardware or drug stores. Pick up some today and try one of these beautifying ideas tonight.
