Detox Bath Salts

Detox baths have been around for centuries, and their benefits are widely recorded. Aside from removing toxins from the body, bath salts also soften the skin through the exfoliation of dead skin cells, and promote relaxation.

It depends on how you feel afterwards. It’s common to feel slightly light-headed after a detox bath, so it may not be optimal to stay in it for longer than necessary.

That being said, if you’ve stayed in the bath longer than 20 minutes, you may want to give your body a quick rinse to prevent re-absorption from taking place. Otherwise, don’t rinse off until the next day.

After a detox bath your body continues to sweat and release toxins, which is completely normal.

Make sure that the water is 38-40 degrees celsius at most. Spend up 20 minutes in the bath for optimal uptake of minerals. However, any longer than that can reverse the effects. You might feel tired and ready to sleep, so we recommend taking this detox bath just before bed time.
