Himalayan bath salt contains 84 essential minerals, more than any other bath salt, including magnesium, potassium, bromide and calcium which are readily absorbed into the skin during a 15-30 minute bath. Himalayan bath salt is known to alleviate severe dry skin disorders. It stimulates circulation, hydrates the skin, increases moisture retention, promotes cellular regeneration, detoxies the skin and helps heal dry, scaling, irritated skin.
