Deacidify and become more beautiful at the same time
According to legends, Cleopatra from ancient Egypt was a big fan of milk baths with honey and herbs. Not because they made her smell nice (we guess the opposite), but because milk is alkaline. A milk bath helps to deacidify the body and soften the skin. In 2019, it’s not a good idea to soak in a milk bath(!), but fortunately, there are plenty of other solutions to take a beautifying bath like Cleopatra’s.
Namely, a crystal bath, also known as a bath with mineral salt. These are baths with bath salts with a pH value of 8.0 – 8.5. Why is it also called a crystal bath? The salt used is made from ground gemstones. Specifically, agate, carnelian, citrine, chrysoprase, chalcedony, sapphire, rock crystal, and onyx.
Benefits of such a bath?
- Your skin becomes super soft from such a bath
- As the bath is alkaline, it deacidifies your body, and there’s a good chance you’ll feel more relaxed
- It’s a natural way of cleansing
- The mineral salt helps to remove waste products, even after exercising
- If you take such a bath more often, there’s a good chance you’ll sleep better
How to take such a bath?
It’s very simple. Fill up your (foot) bath and add one to three tablespoons of mineral salt. Light a candle, play some relaxing music, bring a book, and you are guaranteed a relaxing hour all to yourself.
We have been using mineral salt for years, and because we are such fans, we have placed our favorite from Germany in the shop. This mineral salt contains 8 very finely ground crystals. It works wonders for you if you feel a cold coming on, have a hangover, muscle pain, are pregnant, or just need an extra detox or relaxation. We’re not going in the bath without it anymore!
