Cheers to a sparkling Champagne soak!. Before you finish off that bottle of champagne check out this body loving soak using champagne. The carbon dioxide in the champagne will help to tighten and close the pores. See the recipe here

Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution

epson salt Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution is a must have. I work out 6 days a week my body is always sore, so I have always had that box of Epsom salt under my sink. Soaking my tired, achy muscles was just part of my regiment but I must say from the moment I opened up the bag of Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Relax and Relief the scent of mint filled the bathroom and my mood instantly shifted. I took a deep breath and smiled, it was no longer just my traditional Epsom Salt soaking, I have now entered my own personal spa. The aroma is so relaxing and once you slip into that hot tub you are in heaven. My muscles was so relaxed and my skin felt so smooth, I enjoyed my “me” time and look forward to my next spa date.

Dr. Teal’s can be found at Walmart.

Epsom Salt, It’s not just for Soaking

Epsom Salt

Even though you wouldn’t think Epsom salt is popular among teens, it’s in fact very useful for us! It’s very affordable for just a few dollars and you can find it at the market or pharmacy. I recently received a complimentary box of Epsom salt and I actually used it for an exfoliating treatment. It was very easy because all I had to do was mix 2 cups of Epsom salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly. I even added a few drops of lavender essential oil to give it a refreshing scent. I felt like the mixture scrubbed away my dry skin and left it really smooth.

Another recipe I used was an at home pedicure. I never get my nails done, I always do them myself, so I found this helpful. You dissolve a half cup of Epsom salt into 2 quarts of warm water. You pour the water into a container and soak your bare feet for 15 to 20 minutes. After that you just massage your entire foot with the Epsom salt making sure to get your heels and ankles to remove any dry or rough  spots. Lastly rinse your feet with water and dry them. My feet were ready for a great pedicure!!

There is so many more useful things to do with Epsom salt. You can use it for houseplants, Mosquito bites, and even a hair volumizer! I would definitely recommend having some Epsom salt at home for your every need! Check out facebook.com/epsomsalt for more great ideas and saltworks.us/salt_info/epsom-uses-benefits.asp Epsom Salt can be found in most drugstores and retail stores nationwide.

My favorite Epsom Salt Beauty Recipes:

Exfoliating Treatment Scrub: Combine 2 Cups of Epsom Salt, 1/4 Cup Petroleum Jelly, a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil and scrub and gently scrub away dry skin.

Exfoliating Foot Scrub: Dissolve 1/2 up of Epsom Salt into 2 quarts of warm water, Soak you feet for 15 to 20 minutes. Massage entire foot with Epson Salt to remove rough and dry skin, your feet will thank you.
