Bathing has been a stress-reducing and general wellness ritual for centuries and the effects of a solitary hour of self-care once a week to slow down, calm the mind and unplug the blue screen has never been easier or more important for reducing the stress of modern life. Reaching for the natural bath salts and soaks is step one in transforming your bathroom into a safe haven and relaxing at-home spa.
The Best Natural Bath Soaks
Natural and organic bath salts and soaks are designed for skin and body health. Our collection of natural bath salts are modern and luxurious. Perfectly balanced blends of the best magnesium bath salts and botanical powders, we all deserve a weekly soak reminiscent of Cleopatra.
Pure Magnesium, otherwise known as Magnesium Chloride, is readily absorbed by the body through the skin promoting serotonin production boosting your mood, energy and relaxation. Magnesium aids and minimises painful muscle cramps and reduces the stress associated with muscular tension. A soak in magnesium bath salts has been shown to provide transdermal absorption of magnesium, increasing magnesium levels in the body and delivering its’ known health benefits.
Epsom Salts is a Magnesium Sulphate compound, a naturally occurring mineral found in the earth that is made of magnesium and sulfate. Magnesium is a wonderful natural muscle relaxant and sulfate is a protein builder that is beneficial for our joints. Magnesium bath salts composed primarily of Epsom salts are ideal for those looking to aid recovery from swollen joints, aches and pains.
Dead Sea Salt is brimming with antifungal, antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that cleanse and detoxify the skin. Rich in zinc and bromide, Dead Sea Salt is known to improve skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis as well reducing inflammation like acne and pimples. Also said to improve circulation for healthy skin function and tone.
Coconut Milk Powder is packed with Vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 as well as minerals including iron and magnesium. It is best for dry skin and helps to soothe and calm inflamed skin, itchy and sensitive skin. It’s beneficial in easing the severity of acne and ingrown hair as well. To brighten and revive skin we love the intoxicating scent of the Jasmin Serenity Bath by French Girl.
Mineral Rich Clays are ideal in soak formula for helping to draw and absorb the toxins from the skin. The Clay particles work by absorbing the toxins and binding them to their molecules – it’s simply the law of opposites attract as pure clays attract toxins and impurities. The minerals and nutrients in clay (calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, potassium, iron and copper) reduce inflammation, improve hydration and promote cell regeneration for smooth and renewed skin.
When and How to Use Your Magnesium Bath Salts
We believe that is never a bad time to soak! A morning bath can be an invigorating start to the day, improving skin hydration and relieving anxiety for what may lay ahead. A warm long soak before bed aids relaxation and sleep quality for all ages, including children.
We recommend the ideal bath be neither too hot nor too cool, aim for 32-35 degrees Celcuis, add 2 – 4 handfuls of an all-natural soak or magnesium bath salts allowing them to dissolve and soak for at least 20 minutes for optimal mineral absorption.
In the warm humid Summer months a soothing foot bath is the ultimate way to not only pamper your feet but also absorb the minerals of these all-natural bath salts.
