While using a sea salt scrub is more mainstream these days, full immersion in a salty hot bath is gaining popularity. I can speak from experience that when even the tiniest of scratches on your body meets the salt scrub, a stinging sensation is an understatement. Perhaps that’s why I have never taken the full salty plunge and opt for a more low key choice like a coconut bubble bath. However, science shows that salt is actually great for the skin. Salt baths calm skin irritations and improve circulation, not to mention ease muscle tension and promote a good night’s rest. So think outside the typical bubble bath and try some salt recipes that incorporate oils and even honey for a new skin soothing experience.
