5 Beauty Benefits of Epsom Salt
4. Eliminating blackheads
Beautiful faces have no place for blackheads on them. To get rid of blackheads as soon as possible you can rely on the ever reliable Epsom salt. Dislodge blackheads by adding a teaspoon of Epsom salt and 3 drops of iodine into a half cup of boiling water. Apply this mixture to the blackheads with a cotton ball and watch them disappear as fast as they appeared.
5. Set nails in proper condition
Epsom salt can be quite helpful with nail fungus and can cure this common problem. With a nail file, file down the thickened nail down as much as comfortable before soaking in warm water, and keep the nails as short as possible. Soak the affected foot or hand in a shallow pan with very hot water and few tablespoons of Epsom salt for at least 20 minutes. Do this 2-3 times a day. If you have nails which are not fungi affected but you still want to keep them soft and prevent brittleness, then do this exercise daily before going to bed.
