Milk has been used for many centuries as a beauty aid to soothe, soften, and hydrate the skin. Milk contains lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, which breaks down the outer layer of dead skin cells, accelerating skin renewal. Amino acids and vitamins moisturize the skin. Epsom salts take their name from the mineral rich waters of Epsom, England. They have noted medicinal qualities from soothing aching muscles to drawing toxins from the body, to restoring magnesium levels. Sea salt is known for its exfoliating properties, stimulating circulation, and relieving stress.
