Skin is the biggest living organ on your body so it's very important to treat it with care. If you have a yellow coloring to your skin this can help to remedy that, and it can help to detox the body. Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (make sure you use RAW Apple Cider Vinegar for this) has cleansing and skin healing properties, and it works better for detox when combined with epsom salt. Epsom salt contains the magnesium which our bodies need but don't always get, and it can help with minor aches and pains. I like to use Dr. Bronners liquid castile soap in lavender (although they do have the mild unscented variety for those with allergies and/or sensitive skin) because this is made up of natural oils which breaks down dirt and body oil on the skin. I usually like to do this detox right after my workout as the pores are more open from sweating. I like to do this detox bath at least once a week, but you could probably do it up to 3x a week if you wanted although try to only exfoliate once every week or every other week to allow new skin cells to heal and redevelop after exfoliating. Also, if you suffer from a few lingering pounds than this may help you sweat a little bit more off and help to tone up your body.
1/4 Cup - Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 Cup - Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 Cup - Epsom Salt
1/2 Tub - Hot/Warm Water
1/2 Tub - Hot/Warm Water
1-2 Tbsp - Dr. Bronners liquid castile soap
Add all the ingredients to a hot running bath and close the shower curtain or door to try and retain heat and steam from the hot water which will further open the skins pores. Cleanse/soak for around 15-30 minutes (or longer if you like). Submerse as much of yourself as you can in the tub water, you may need a cup to pour tub water over yourself. Use a natural loofah with some more of the soap to exfoliate the body and remove dead skin cells. Massage your legs and such to help relax the muscles. Drain tub and shower off with cool/cold water to seal the skins pores closed, and then dry off.
Try to avoid too much sun exposure after the detox bath. If skin feels too dry after the cleanse use an organic skin moisturizer like olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
