Bath salts are a mixture of Epsom salt, essential oils, baking soda, glycerin, and table salt that are water-soluble and added to water for bathing. The salts are usually made to replicate the properties of natural mineral salts or hot springs. These are used to exfoliate, scrub, soak, relieve stress, detox, and get smooth skin. The high concentration of salts increases the density of water and increases buoyancy making the body feel lighter. That’s how bath salts actually work.
