Bathing has long been known as a calming evening ritual, but a warm soak is also an excellent way to boost health, up mineral intake, help the body to detox and to improve its sleep pattern, not to mention providing a well-needed moment of peace and quiet in a busy world. Re-discover the art of bathing with Westlab Salts, the UK’s best bath salt manufacturer specialising in pure, high-grade mineral salts that are free from chemicals and additives to ensure a wellness-infused bath every time.
Westlab’s best-selling pure bathing salts, from £5.99 for 1kg, are available from Boots, Superdrug, Tesco, Look Fantastic and leading health retailers.
Epsom Salt
Best for: sore muscles, digestion, bloating
The muscle-relaxing, pain-relieving effects of Epsom Salt make it a longstanding favourite with athletes, A-Listers and Health Editors across the world. Epsom Salt is packed with high-grade magnesium which is responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions within the body and aids muscle control helping to soothe and ease sore, cramped or twitching muscles. Epsom Salt is also widely used for aiding digestion: a tried and tested red-carpet bloat buster, Epsom Salt relaxes the muscles in the abdomen and small intestine to draw out excess fluids and gas, leaving the figure feeling streamlined and comfortable. £5.99 for 1kg
Dead Sea Salt
Best for: dry or itchy skin, eczema, psoriasis
For a fail-safe skincare routine, take note from the beauty tips of our ancient ancestors. Bringing the healing and hydrating benefits of the Dead Sea to the bathroom, Dead Sea Salt was used by Cleopatra to keep her skin soft and smooth. Today, it is just as useful for those with eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis as it reduces itching, irritation, redness and inflammation. Calcium acts as an anti-oxidant to promote cell renewal, whilst potassium balances the skin’s moisture levels and magnesium calms and repairs the skin. £5.99 for 1kg
Himalayan Salt
Best for: detoxing, cleansing
The blush-pink grains of Himalayan Salt are renowned for their deeply cleansing and detoxifying benefits. Helping the body to rid itself of toxins and negative substances, a Himalayan salt bath is ideal for when the body feels tired, run down or overworked. £5.99 for 1kg
Magnesium Flakes
Best for: aiding sleep, reducing tiredness
A magnesium-infused bath should be the first choice for anyone finding it difficult to drift off, wake up or stay asleep throughout the night. It’s thought that up to two thirds of us are deficient in magnesium, resulting in a disrupted night’s sleep. Since the best way to absorb magnesium is transdermally (through the skin), Westlab’s Magnesium Flakes are an ideal way to top up the body’s magnesium levels before bed. £8.99 for 1kg
