What's the difference between bath salts and scrubs?

Scrubs and bath salts are popular types of bath soaps that provide some wonderful advantages for the skin and body, but each serves distinctly different purposes for bath time. Bath salts are added to bath water and dissolve, while scrubs are rubbed over the body for exfoliation and cleansing. Adding bath salts to the water before getting in the tub gives you a number of beautifying and calming benefits. Minerals in the salt absorb into the dermal layers, softening the skin and helping to relax muscles and joints. A good soak in bath salts results in glowing and supple skin by helping you hold on to essential moisture. Scrubs are cleansers that often contain additional polishing agents to give you surface-level exfoliation while digging deep into your pores to revitalize the skin. Incorporating a scrub into your routine gives your skin a smooth and lustrous glow.

What are the different types of bath salts?

Bath salts come in a variety of forms with an array of accompanying infusions to give the minerals a boost. The sellers on Etsy craft bath salt mixtures with different benefits. Here are some wonderful bath salt options you’ll find from shops on Etsy: Salt bath bombs : Drop one of these single-use bathtime wonders into your tub as the water's running and watch the marvelous colors swirl. When the tub is full, get in and enjoy the revitalizing minerals as they energize your skin and soothe your soul. Bath salt rocks : These convenient bath time accessories eliminate the need to sprinkle salts into your bath water each time you fill your tub. Placing the rock under a running faucet lets the minerals slowly dissolve and infuse your bath water. When your tub is full, set the stone off to the side for next time and enjoy your bath. Essential oil bath salts : Additional fragrances such as vanilla and lavender in your bath salts can work wonders in helping to relax your mind as the minerals in your bath water soften and tone your skin.

What are some popular types of body scrubs?

Body scrubs come in a range of types and are a remarkable tool for smoothing out rough spots and revitalizing your skin. Certain scrubs target specific areas of the skin to give you optimal results where it's needed most. Here are some popular types of exfoliating scrubs made by shops on Etsy: Bath scrubs : Whether it's a scrubbing bar or a liquid exfoliator, a good all-purpose bath scrub can do a fantastic job of making sure your smooth spots stay smooth. Facial scrubs : Often more gentle than a general bath scrub, scrubs made for the face help keep your pores clear and your skin glowing. Foot scrubs : The bottoms of the feet often need some extra attention. Before applying a nourishing foot lotion, give them a thorough buff with a good foot bath scrub to keep away calluses and rough spots.
