Home spa remedies

Homemade recipes can turn a bath

into much more than a simple steep.

Salts In their natural form, bathing

salts contain many nutrients and

minerals, including magnesium,

potassium, sodium and calcium.

Warm water opens our pores

allowing minerals to be absorbed,

purifying and cleansing the skin,

enhancing its texture and radiance.

Popular salts include Epsom salts,

Dead Sea salts and Himalayan salts.

Muds Like salts, muds, clays

and peats are rich in minerals,

particularly those from hot springs,

volcanoes and marine sediments.

The mud from the Dead Sea,

the deepest hypersaline lake on

earth, is particularly beneficial

for skin conditions like psoriasis ,

acne and eczema.

Oils When mixed with water, oil has

the ability to penetrate deep into

the skin. It softens and nourishes,

reduces signs of dryness and

improves some skin conditions. Most

bath oils contain a base oil scented

with an essential oil and are an easy

way to use aromatherapy.
