Epsom Salt Bath

Epsom Salt contains iodides of magnesium and sulfate which deliver cleansing, detoxifying, rejuvenating and anti-inflammatory benefits. The product increases the blood circulation, tightens the skin and prevents the occurrence of swellings. 20-minute baths twice a week are recommended to improve the skin bounce. Pour two cups of Epsom Salt into a tub filled with warm water. Believe it or not, you can use common salt instead of this product. This kind of baths improve the blood flow and leave the skin smooth. On the other hand, it isn’t fit for dry skin because it may cause dehydration.

Apple Cider Vinegar Bath

At the same time, the bath restores the pH and prevents excessive sweating. How to prepare it? Fill a tub with water and pour around one cup of apple cider vinegar in. Fifteen minutes is the maximum time you can relax in such a bath. Making it longer, you risk skin dryness.

Body Care after the Bath

Moisturising is the key stage. Make use of lotions, cosmetic butters or rich creams. Remember that massaging these products into the skin equal increased blood flow, smoother skin, reduced cellulite and stretch marks. Oils, rich in fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, work great, too.
