• Foot soak: Soothe aches, remove odors and soften rough skin with a foot soak.
• Soak sprains and bruises: Epsom salts will reduce the swelling of sprains and bruises.
• Splinter remover: Soak in Epsom salts, it will draw out the splinter.
• Face cleaner: To clean your face at night, mix a half-teaspoon of Epsom salts with your regular cleansing cream. Just massage into skin and rinse with cold water.
• Homemade oily skin mask: Apply the mask to damp skin. Mix 1 tablespoon of cognac, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of non-fat dry milk, the juice of 1 lemon, and a half-teaspoon of Epsom salts.
• Skin exfoliator: Massage handfuls of Epsom salts over your wet skin, from feet towards the face.
• Remove excess oil from hair: Epsom salt soaks up excess oil from hair. Add 9 tablespoons of Epsom salts to 1/2 cup oily hair shampoo. Apply one tablespoon of the liquid to your hair when it is dry, rinse with cold water. Pour lemon juice or organic apple cider vinegar through the hair, leave on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse.
