Bath of Epsom or Sea Salt for Body Acne?

I have been considering soaking in a bath with salt to help with body acne but am unsure as to which might be better between epsom and sea salt (on a message board, a person said they would not recommend epsom but did not state why). I was also wondering how much should be put in and how long one should soak for. If anyone has experience or feedback in relation to this, it would be appreciated. :)

How is sea salt different than epsom salt?





Epsom salt is rich in magnesium, but lacks calcium. While magnesium is necessary to maintain the health of both the cardiovascular system and muscle tissue, the effects are more beneficial when combined with calcium.Bath of Epsom or Sea Salt for Body Acne?

Actually I have been using epsom salt as a scrub for a couple of days now and I can say i've noticed a difference already. I tried the bath,It says to put two cups per gallon of water,however I do not know how long should you be soaking in it.Good luck

I don't think Epsom salts will help you. Any body scrub with either sugar or salt will help slosh away dead skin but it doesn't have to be Sea Salt.


In fact, most scrubs have a lot of different oils mixed in so I'd be careful about which one to use because they may end up clogging your pores even more. I'd suggest using Neutrogena Body wash. My little sister uses it for her back acne and it seems help a lot with breakouts!





Have you tried Witch Hazel? I had a friend who rubbed witch hazel of her arms for the acne. You can buy a bottle (just a few dollars) at any drugstore on the medication aisle. It's a green liquid and it smells a little odd (not bad, just odd) but the smell evaporates after a few seconds and it does not live a residue behind.
