The scent of this blend of bath salts is enough to transform your mood. Light and citrusy, we unscrewed the tub and enjoyed a whiff whenever we needed a "chill out" moment for a few weeks before taking them home! But the beauty continues when you dump them into the tub. The mixture of Pink Himalayan, Dead Sea, Atlanic and Pacific seal salts works to detoxify, soothe sore muscles, nourish the skin, and improve circulation.
