Cheap and Effective
Epsom salts uses you might not have known about!
Acne treatment mask: 1 egg white, 1/2 tsp. B5 powder, 1 tsp. aloe vera gel, 1 tsp Epsom salts, 1-2 drop thyme essential oil blended together. Smooth onto your face for 15 minutes then rinse and pat dry. Sounds kind of gross, works really well!
Skin exfoliant: Wet skin and apply 1/2-1 tsp. of Epsom salts to the skin in a circular motion to help remove dead skin and build up. Simple yet effective!
Soothe insect bites: Add 2 Tbsp of Epsom salts to 1 cup of warm water. Soak a wash cloth in the solution and apply to the bite to reduce inflammation and irritation. This is also good in the summer if you get a sunburn!
Ease pinkeye: Wash you face and around your eyes (not IN your eye) with a solution of warm water and Epsom salts to help clear the infection.
