Epsom Salt ... an affordable beauty product
High gas prices. High food prices. What’s a woman to do when she needs a gentle face mask, exfoliating skin treatment or stress-relieving soak? Epsom Salt is a cheap fix.
Epsom Salt is being touted as an effective way to slough off rough patches of skin, increase the volume in your hair and remove toxins from your body. Who knew?
Here are a few recipes for a quick, inexpensive beauty boost. For more ways to use Epsom Salt, go to www.epsomsaltcouncil.org.
For acne free skin: For a fresh, blemish-free 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. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. Apply your favorite moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher.
For kissable lips: Use the mixture to gently scrub away dry skin on the lips and around the lip area, leaving lips rejuvenated and smooth. Mix a few tablespoons of Epsom Salt with a teaspoon of petroleum jelly. Apply to lips and rub lightly to exfoliate. This also gives lips an instant plump.
