'Tis the season to be jolly... but let us admit it, holidays can also be a little exhausting. With the left and right Christmas rush shopping, traffic, parties and events, anyone will surely become restless.

The lack of enough rest and energy can lead us to get sick, and we do not want to be kissing 2019 goodbye with backache and welcome the year 2020 with a sore body, right? Good thing, relaxation is now one bath away through the help of Epsom salt.

Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, is a chemical compound made of magnesium, sulfur and oxygen. It is totally different from table salt or the ones we use for cooking. When dissolved in water, Epsom salt releases magnesium and sulfate ions, which is absorbed by the skin and helps improve some of our body functions. 

Some of the benefits of using Epsom salt include better quality of sleep, less stress, constipation prevention, pain and swelling reduction, and body recovery from exercise or other strenous activities. Reports also show that Epsom salt can help revitalize skin and prevent skin problems.

So whether you are up for some skin detoxification or just want to have a relaxing bath to recover from stress, Epsom salt could be your mind and body's quick fix.

If you are looking for the best bath salts in the market, below are the top five Epsom salt brands you can easily purchase on Amazon.
