2. Ease away the tensions and stresses of the day by soaking your tired body in a therapeutic salt bath. Step away from your never ending list of tasks and treat yourself to even 15 minutes. Your mind and body will thank you. Bath salts are beneficial in reducing stress, soothing skin, and easing muscular and joint pain. While Epsom salt baths are a common go-to, Himalayan and Dead Sea salts provide a different experience with additional benefits.
   
   
3. If you don’t have time or access to a bath, luxuriate in a hot shower while using a convenient salt scrub. Salt scrubs help to slough away the dry skin that comes with cooler weather, leaving skin smoother and more even, allowing skin to absorb moisturizer more easily.
