Foot Bath Salts, the Essential for a Soothing Moment
Women have always known the benefits of bath salts for feet, skin, and mood. Relaxing, soothing, or transporting, and always beneficial, Corine de Farme recommends adding them without delay to your wellness and beauty routine.
Why should you try foot bath salts?
Looking for a moment of relaxation and unwinding to enjoy every day after work or on the weekend? Note that bath salts relieve fatigue and provide a feeling of relaxation and even respite after a long day.
Thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties, they reduce muscle tension and joint pain. A foot bath is therefore ideal after long hours spent standing or walking.
Perhaps the most well-known benefit, but bath salts also gently exfoliate the skin, softening it and helping to fight against cracks and calluses that can cause discomfort.
Finally, because they stimulate blood circulation, they also promote the elimination of toxins, leaving your feet feeling light and revitalized, as if after a stay by the sea.
4 Benefits of Marine Bath Salts for Skin and Circulation
Sea salts are rich in minerals, naturally good for the skin. They help regulate excess sebum, soothe minor irritations, and prevent skin imperfections.
Also, do you know what microcirculation is? It refers to blood circulation at a micrometric to nanometric level (arterioles, capillaries, and venules). Taking a foot bath with sea salts, because it stimulates this blood flow, helps oxygenate tissues and reduce the feeling of heavy legs, which is particularly bothersome in summer.
In addition to minerals, the trace elements present in sea salt strengthen the skin, making it firmer and more resilient.
Finally, by eliminating toxins and excess water, they activate natural drainage, for a deflating and firming effect. In short, if you’re familiar with swollen feet and/or heavy legs, you should try bath salts for your feet.
How to Use Bath Salts Properly for Effective Foot Care?
To experience all the benefits of bath salts, nothing could be simpler. Fill a basin with lukewarm water heated to about 37°C, just enough to relax without overheating.
Next, pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of anti-stress vanilla marine bath salts into the water. Wait a bit and stir to dissolve them well. Do you prefer lavender, mango, rose, or aloe vera? Discover our full range of sea salts and choose your favorite.
Soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes, completely forgetting about them, reading, or gently massaging them to help the minerals absorb.
Once the time is up (you can extend it as long as the water is warm and pleasant for your feet), dry them thoroughly, paying special attention between the toes, then apply your usual nourishing cream.
Bonus tip: treat yourself to this foot care just before going to bed and add a few drops of essential oil (lavender, peppermint, or tea tree) to the water for a purifying effect.
A Wellness Ritual to Add to Your Care Routine
Now that you know how and why to enjoy foot bath salts, all that’s left is to find how to fit this little moment into your day.
If possible, choose a quiet moment, when you’re not caught between two activities. Settle in comfortably and prepare your foot bath, perhaps with a cup of hot chocolate or your favorite playlist. You can also take the time for a micro-nap or to meditate.
And if you’ve chosen your moment well, you can even complete the care with a real foot massage. Have you heard of plantar reflexology? All of this, bathed in the sweet, delicious scent of relaxing vanilla.
