Start off 2026 by incorporating magnesium/epsom salts into your weekly routine. They're hugely beneficial and a lovely treat for your feet ! ❤️
Epsom salts are a natural product, ideal for use as a foot soak or in the bath - they are the perfect complementary at-home treatment.
Epsom salts contain magnesium which is an essential mineral to our health. Magnesium aids muscle relaxation, supports healthy sleeping patterns, and helps to calm, regulate and relax the mind and body.
Magnesium is not produced by the body, so needs constant replenishment to maintain optimum levels.
If you have sore feet, corns or hard skin, soaking your feet regularly can ease pain, inflammation and discomfort. They are also ideal to help draw out infection if you suffer from ingrowing toenails (but please visit a professional if your ingrowing nail is painful and inflamed, as it will require intervention). Additionally, they can also help with various skin conditions/foot issues such as athletes foot, chilblains and minor wounds.
To create a soothing foot soak:
✅ Fill a bowl with enough warm water (not hot) to cover the feet up to the ankles
✅ Add 1 cup of Epsom salts to the water
✅ Place your feet in the water for around 20 mins
✅ If you have hard, dry or rough skin - at this point you can also take a small handful of salts and use to gently exfoliate the skin
✅ After 20 mins, remove feet from the bowl and dry thoroughly, including between the toes
✅ Finally, moisturise feet with a good foot cream, ideally containing 10% urea. Epsom salts can be drying, so it's important to replace lost moisture
❗ If you are diabetic, pregnant, or suffer from kidney disease or heart problems then please check with your GP prior to using Epsom salts
