Winter Wellness - The Benefits of Bath Salts

While the majority of us dive in and out of the shower due to time constraints, it's nice to take a good, long soak in the bath now and then. Especially during colder months, bath salts can help hydrate and soothe dry skin while also promoting relaxation and comfort.

Adding bath salts to your bath water, especially those with soothing scents and minerals, helps support that lovely sense of well-being. A warm bath before bedtime enables you to relax and get a good night's sleep.

Benefits of Bath Salts in Cold Weather


Skin Hydration and Protection

  • Combat Dryness: During the winter months, our skin can become tight and very dry. Bath salts, especially those rich in minerals like Dead Sea salt or Epsom salts, help hydrate and soften the skin.


  • Natural Barrier Support: Bath salts can protect the skin's natural barrier, which is crucial during winter when skin conditions like eczema may worsen.

Relaxation and Comfort

  • Muscle Relaxation: If you want to ease muscle tension, a warm-water soak with bath salts can really help. The magnesium in Epsom salt helps relax tight muscles.


  • Aromatherapy Benefits: Some bath salts contain essential oils, and scents like Lavender or our Grapefruit and Neroli can help clear the sinuses and uplift your mood.


Seasonal Self-Care Rituals

  • Comforting Routine: Regular bathing with bath salts is very soothing and helps with warmth and better sleep during the long winter nights.


  • Mood Enhancement: Taking time for a warm bath can improve overall mood, making it a beneficial practice during the often gloomy winter months.
