“Jessica Biel Bathed In 20 Pounds of Epsom Salt to Prepare for the Met Gala—Here’s What Experts Have to Say”
This beauty hack has been around for ages, but does it work and is it safe?
“Epsom salt is a great detoxifier, exfoliator, and can soothe tired muscles and smooth the skin,” notes Julie Williams, medical herbalist and founder of LEAF PEOPLE. She adds, “It helps clear the body by removing various types of stagnation by promoting lymphatic flow. When your lymphatic fluid is flowing, then your skin is smoother, you retain less water, and your skin is more clear.”
That said, the consensus is that 20 pounds of Epsom salt in the tub isn’t necessary and might even be potentially dangerous.
