The Perfect Recipe for a Relaxing Detox Bath [Plus the One Thing I Do To Maximize Its Benefits]

I love a good detox bath. I take one at least twice a week.

Here’s my favorite recipe:

1 Cuzn Bath Ball (removes chlorine and other impurities)
2 cups Epsom Salts (gives a magnesium boost and help with muscle tension)
1/2 cup baking soda (aids in the detox process and can be very soothing if you have any skin conditions)
2 Tbsp bentonite clay (aids in the detox process. NOTE: put some cheesecloth over your drain if you’re worried about clogging the pipes.)
1 Tbsp coconut oil (moisturizes the skin, provides anti-macrobial and anti-fungal properties)
Essential oils of your choice (I love lavender or grapefruit)

Mix all the ingredients into warm-as-you-can-stand-it bath water and soak for at least 20 minutes. Some sources say you don’t want to soak much longer or your skin will start to reabsorb anything you’ve detoxed.

I love to grab a large glass of filtered water with a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to re-hydrate while I soak. I usually drink one more glass after I get out as well.

I try my best (doesn’t always happen) to put my phone away and grab a book or magazine or maybe a journal instead so I can fully unwind.

Bonus: to maximize the benefits of my detox bath, I like to dry brush before hopping in the tub. Dry brushing gets the lymphatic system moving and can aid in the detox process. It also helps exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.
