time for a bit of r&r, a soak and a sleep....

Now it's more important than ever to take a bit of time-out and look after ourselves. With the current climate making things a little difficult for everyone from challenges working from home through to supporting friends and family from afar even home schooling the kids - it's having its toll on everyone.

At Lonmay we have been looking at ways to unwind and help you get away from it all, all be it briefly, but we've found the solution. Bath Salts!

Submerging our bodies into a bath filled with warm water and salt is proven to be one of the best ways to restore ourselves and help unwind.

his health-promoting ritual soothes the muscles, hydrates the skin, detoxifies the body, and relieves internal swelling. The macro and trace minerals found in salts are necessary for our health and can actually be drawn into the bloodstream during a warm bath, which can help to balance out the entire body.

The best versions have added benefits from natural sources, such as essential oils and earth-given minerals that can maximize results. This magic combination works to synergistically cure our internal ailments and nourish our bodies.

Whether we’re seeking silkier skin, a better night’s sleep, or a little detoxification—bath salts can play such a beneficial role.

Here are a few reasons to start using bath salts:

DETOX YOUR SKIN

Bathing in dead sea salt, for example, has long been used to help with eczema, psoriasis and even rheumatoid arthritis.

In fact, research indicates that salt baths promote skin cell growth and improve our skin tone and texture.

Our skin is a toxin carrier so regular salt baths are believed to help flush out toxins from our skin.

Alternatively, applying salt scrub in the shower also helps to cleanse the skin.

DE-STRESS

There’s nothing better than taking a warm hot bath to ground and re-balance.

A warm salt bath provides immediate stress-relief that works on mind, body and aura.

RELIEVED MUSCLE CRAMPS

Sinking our body into a warm salt bath instantly gives us that soothing moment.

Salt baths also boost blood circulation to the muscles which helps to reduce pain and stiffness and promote ease and relaxation, ideal if you have spent most of your day sitting at your computer.

Ten or twenty-minute foot salt soak will even do wonders for alkalizing your body.

HYDRATION BOOSTER

We know that small amounts of salt can boost our electrolyte levels but did you know that adding salt to a bath creates an electrolyte balance and is also a hydration booster!

Bathing in salt reduces muscle pain, which boosts circulation of lymphatic fluid so your skin will feel beautifully cleansed and renewed as well.

Make sure you drink plenty of fluids during your salt bath – a little aromatherapy (or even some candle light with a complementary scent candle by hobo+co.)  and music goes a long way too!

SLEEP

Sometimes it is a little difficult to switch off and if you are experiencing sleep issues, we highly recommend you take a warm salt bath before bed - it will do wonders!

As salt helps to ease muscle tension and cramps, it makes sense that it will help calm and encourage a sense of inner peace.

Salt baths are one of those essential at home beauty ingredients and make a great skincare gift for men and women.
