But thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham and Elle Macpherson, Epsom salts are fast becoming a beauty staple. Costing a fraction of the price of designer potions - you can pick up a tub for £1.25 at your local chemist - they’re being hailed as a miracle fix for everything from greasy hair to a bloated stomach and lacklustre skin . The salts’ healing properties were discovered in the early 17th century when a farmer living near Epsom, Surrey, discovered a spring rich in magnesium sulphate .   Victoria Beckham swear by Epsom salts for a flatter stomach" class="blkBorder" /> Victoria Beckham swear by Epsom salts for a flatter stomach" class="b...

I'm not an athlete, I'm not a bath person, and I'm not an 82-year-old, so I've never really felt the need for Epsom salts in my life. But it turns out there are a ton of other ways to use them beyond the standard sore- muscle bath soak . So if you're in need of a little R & R in this post-Christmas-pre-New-Year's (but still stuck in your hometown) lull, here are five at-home treatments you can make using the Epsom salts lurking in the medicine cabinet at your parents' house. (Or you could go out and buy some—we like Dr. Teal's Rosemary Mint Epsom Salt Soaking Solution . ) Sunburn reliever. If you're lucky enough to be spending the holidays somewhere sunny, hopefully you listened to that motherly/ Allure voice in your head and wore tons of SPF 50. But in case you did somehow get a sunburn, Epsom salts can help inflamed skin. "I mix a couple of spoonfuls into a cup of water and use a spray bottle to mist it onto the affected area," say...

Where detoxification is concerned, I am of the ilk that slow and steady changes lead to the most lasting results.  Detoxifying baths a few times a week can be a small ritual that can add tons of vitality to your life! If more of us had an awareness that our skin was an actual organ there would be a lot less chemical nonsense in the beauty stuff we slather all over ourselves filled with carcinogenic chemicals,  allergens and other toxic pollutants.  The fact that we have this giant organ called our skin that can absorb and also expel pollution in our bodies shines a light on the fact that things like baths can actually affect our health. There are a few baths I like to alternate when I am feeling tense, exhausted or run down. **Before you start, make sure to scrub your skin a bit with a loofa or other coarse washcloth or a soft brush when you begin the soak so that you can maximize the effects. **Always keep water beside you in the tub and drink tons while you soak **Never use water t...

Dreaming of ending your day with a relaxing hot bath ? Maybe you don’t have the time and will opt for a shower…whatever you decide, does one have more benefits than the other? Dating back to Medieval times, bath water was shared, beginning with the elders and then followed by others; babies were among the last to bathe. Historically… rivers, ponds and lakes have always been a source for washing, but basins and tin baths were   also used. In the late 1800’s… a hand pump shower was invented, using water supply from a large tank. As the mid-19 th -century approached, personal hygiene and bathing grew in popularity; ‘thank goodness.’… It paved the way for new architects, as they began to incorporate bathrooms into their designs and floorplans. Now…showers and baths can be found in most places, but is one better than the other and are there any benefits to using one more than the other…or does it even matter at all(?) Beginning with showers, it’s an effective way to wash any dirt off your ...

Have you ever wondered if taking a bath is a good or bad idea? Well, here are all of the answers to your questions. Baths are wonderful and therapeutic. Throughout history, they have been used to help with sore muscles and relaxation after a hard day. Baths have multiple intrinsic benefits for your body and mind. However, we often don’t make time for a bath in our daily routine. We think that it requires too much work and prep time. The fact is that a bath can help you more than you realize, especially if you boost your experience. Number one rule: Shower before and after you bathe. You don’t want to be sitting in your own dirtiness. This can easily be avoided by just taking a shower to quickly clean off the grime of your day. It’s important to shower after to get any oils, salts, or soaps off of your skin. We want your skin to absorb the salt, oils, and soaps, but we don’t want to leave a layer of residue on top of your skin. Make sure your bathtub is clean or this prep isn’t worth i...
