It has been found to boost skin ceramide production, has a water-holding capacity, and is a skin barrier protection. Massaging eucalyptus oil on the skin also helps relieve pain and stress because of its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a great deal for sprained tendons and ligaments, rheumatism, stiff muscles, fibrosis, aches, and nerve pain. Using a eucalyptus bath bomb can effectively relieve your muscle pains and soothe your respiratory system.

Epsom salt Used in bathwater or scrubs, it can soften rough, dry skin, and exfoliate dead skin cells. It may also soothe skin affected by skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis. Many people use Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) topically to soothe aching muscles, relieve tension, remove toxins, exfoliate, remove odors, and treat skin conditions like acne. The high magnesium content of Epsom salt is excellent for reducing stress in the mind and body. Once absorbed, magnesium aids with the conversion of tryptophan, an amino acid, to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which conveys sensations of satisfaction and relaxation. Magnesium is also a key player in the production of energy in cells, so by increasing levels in the body, it can make you feel more revitalized.
