Epsom Salts for Beauty

You may think of epsom salts as an old-timey remedy. You can add some magnesium sulfate to a hot bath to soothe aches and pains, but epsom salts have beauty benefits, too. Here are some to try:

• Oily, flat hair? Dissolve 1/2 cup of salt into 3 cups of lukewarm water and use the solution as a pre-shampoo rinse.


• Exfoliate rough skin by rubbing a few handfuls of salt into your pre-moistened skin.


• Give your face a deep cleanse by adding 1/2-teaspoon of epsom salt with your normal face cleansing cream.
