Bathing is an incredible stress reliever. It is a fountain of youth. It is the easiest way to get healthy, glowing skin. As a culture often driven by a need to succeed and to work without end, we need to reap the many benefits of bathing – if we all took a bath twice a week, the world would be a much happier place.

            So let's start with you. Sit down, relax, and learn about how bathing can change your life!

Bathing The Way to Healthier, More Beautiful Skin

Whether you have dry, flaky skin, or oily, acne-prone skin, bathing is an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable treatment. Even more serious skin ailments such as psoriasis, eczema, and allergic reactions such as hives and rashes can be healed in the bathtub. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on creams, lotions or “tonics” that promise results but fail to deliver – all you need is our high-quality bath salts and a tub full of warm water.

            Bath salts made from natural sea salt are a must-have – All of our our bath salts actually do contain sea salt from many parts of the world. Many other commercial bath salts are chemically treated or not even made from actual sea salt but from nothing more than common household washing detergent  (meaning that you are missing out on all the minerals and nutrients from the sea, along with all their fabulous benefits). Bathing in actual sea salts conditions dry skin, and balances oily skin.

Is Bath Salt The "NEW Fountain of Youth"?

When you are young, your skin is firm, supple and smooth. Your stress levels are low (hopefully!), you begin each day with boundless energy. Your body retains a healthy glow and your looks are at their finest. As you get older, the world begins to wear you down: stress, harmful UV rays, air pollution, and sleepless nights begin to take their toll. Bathing can dramatically slow the aging process, making you look and feel younger almost immediately. Here's how:

            To put it bluntly, stress makes us look older. It makes us furrow our brows and frown, deepening the lines on our faces. Stress often leads to insomnia, and lack of sleep is never flattering. Stress also carries more serious side-effects, such as heart disease. Bathing greatly decreases stress levels. The warm water soothes aching muscles and increases circulation. Your blood pressure drops, your anxiety seems to lift from your body as the steam rises from the water. Bath salts infused with essential oils such as Lavender don't just smell wonderful – they are known to greatly decrease stress and anxiety levels.

            Sun, wind, and pollution make our skin dry, cracked, and less resilient. Bathing in bath salts is a powerful detoxification tool, making your skin healthier, stronger, and able to fight off the damaging effects of our environment. First, you need high quality bath salts with a high mineral content. Bath salts contain minerals that draw impurities from the skin, cleansing and tightening your pores from the inside out. Magnesium, bromide, calcium, and iodine are just a few of the minerals found naturally in high-quality bath salts, and they all work to condition our skin, making it more resilient and able to defend against the elements.

Bath salts are a wonderful way to moisturize the skin naturally, and the nutrients in the salts plump up the skin, making it soft and youthful. Bathing also increases collagen levels in the skin, allowing it to fill out and have the elasticity of younger skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

            If you take a bath at the end of your day, you'll quickly shed your anxiety and get a full night's rest. If you take a bath in the morning, you'll enter your day feeling calm and ready to take on pretty much anything. Your brow will no longer furrow, and you'll smile more – and smiling is the ultimate face lift.


Finally, A Natural Cure for Insominia - Now YOU can Get a good nights sleep everynight!

We've already talked about how stress can be a factor when it comes to sleepless nights. Days filled with meetings, deadlines, and the demands of friends and family life can lead to nights of endless tossing and turning.

 If you take a bath before you go to sleep, we guarantee YOU will sleep more soundly. The warm water combined with bath salts will alleviate tension- both in your body and in your mind. When combined with aromatherapy, the benefits of your bathing ritual will increase exponentially. Scents such as Lavender, Peppermint, and Rose are known to relax and soothe. At the San Francisco Bath Salt Company, we offer special bath soaks made from the finest of natural bath salt, infused with these and other essential oils to ensure a good nights sleep. Try our Moon Dreams bath soak, or Tranquility formula for an experience out of this world.

           Atmosphere is also important – make sure the lights are dimmed or use candles to create a warm, soft glow; play beautiful music; invest in a bath pillow, lie down, and relax. You'll emerge feeling calm, happy, and ready for glorious, uninterrupted sleep.

            As you can see, the benefits of bathing are far more extensive than simply cleansing your body.

 - it not only cleanses your pores – it detoxifies your skin on a cellular level
 - it offers relief for a variety of both common and more serious skin conditions

            So what are you waiting for? Start taking a bath twice a week and prepare for some amazing changes in your life. Next, we'll give you some hints and tips to ensure a healthy, enjoyable bathing experience.

            Spas offer all sorts of wonderful services. They promise to relax you, make you look younger, improve the condition of your skin, and provide a restful, restorative environment. After reading about the benefits of bathing, you probably realize you can get all the benefits of an expensive visit to a spa in your very own home, for a fraction of the price.

            Here are some ideas to get you started.

Start off by Choosing one of our amazing Bath Salts

As you'll see on our website, the San Francisco Bath Salt Company offers all kinds of bath salt from around the world, of different textures, colors, and scents. Our selection is so impressive, you might have a hard time deciding which bath salts are right for you. You may want to begin by buying a few different types and experimenting with the many choices of bath salts we offer.

            In some cases, we've done the work for you and have created soaks and salts already infused with various essential oils, fragrances and colors. We offer a Citrus Bath, which will refresh and rejuvenate you. Our Moon Deams Bath Soak is the ultimate cure for insomnia and will ensure a good night's sleep; our Tranquility Bath Soak is perfect for the busy professional who needs to de-stress; we even offer Zen Bath Salts to really quiet the mind and soothe the body. Our Muscle Soak bath salt package will soothe the most tired and sore muscles; Detox and Skincare bath soaks will cleanse and purify your skin, leaving it soft, supple and healthy. These are just a few of our prepared bath salts and soaks.

            We also offer bulk packages of bath salts that can be infused with an astounding variety of essential oils, fragrances and herbs.  You can mix and match the bath salt of your choice (type of salt plus grain size) with the color and fragrance of your choice, adding any herbs and essential oils you like. Who knew bathing could be this fun?

            Our Calspa line of bulk bath salts are made from natural Pacific Sea salts. Each grain of salt is already infused with Vitamin E oil, which is wonderful for the skin. Our Calspa Deluxe sea salts can be combined with the essential oil of your choice, depending on your mood and your unique needs.

            Our Minera Dead Sea Salts are harvested from the mineral-rich Dead Sea, known for centuries as a center for healing and restoration. This salt is packed with minerals and nutrients that have been proven to condition and cleanse the skin, to relax tired muscles, and effectively treat psoriasis, eczema, and more. Like our Calspa salts, Minera Dead Sea Salts can be combined with natural herbs, essential oils, and fragrances, and are available in an astonishing array of beautiful colors to suit your mood.

Next, Create a relaxing Atmosphere

Atmosphere is key when it comes to taking a bath. First, make sure everyone in your home knows this is your “alone” time. Tell your spouse, your roommate, your children that you will be unavailable for 1 hour (including prep time), and close the door behind you. Dim your lights or even better, light some candles. Scented candles can be used to enhance the mood. Turn on warm (not too hot – hot water can dry out your skin) water and grab a few large handfuls of your bath salts. Gently pour the bath salts into the running water, and breathe deeply as the fragrance is released into the air. Hint: Don't be stingy with the salts – the more, the better.
The key is to replicate the ocean as much as possible, and make it as if you are bathing in sea water.

            Have a bath pillow ready – bath pillows are wonderfully luxurious and allow you to fully relax and lie back. Once you've stepped inside your bath, close the curtain around the tub so that the heat and steam do not escape. As the water cools, simply drain the tub while running warmer water – this way, the cooler water will be replaced with warm water and you can stay in the tub longer.

            Lie back, take a deep breath, and close your eyes. And stay for a while – you've earned it.

And Finally, Share the Wealth! Bath Salts are For Everyone!

            Now that you understand the benefits and have experienced the pleasure of bathing, go ahead and share it with those you care about! You can draw a bath for two for the ultimate relaxing, romantic experience. Not only that – you can give the gift of bathing to your friends and family. Now that you know about the different types of salts and soaks, you can create a meaningful, unique bathing experience that's perfect for anyone you love. You can now give the gift of beauty, health, and relaxation – it's much cheaper than a gift certificate to a spa, and much more rewarding!

A Brief History Of Bathing

            Cleopatra, known for her great beauty, soaked in the mineral-rich, salt-filled waters of the Dead Sea and built resorts and spas along its shores. As referenced in the Bible, King David also bathed in the area, and found refuge in the warm, therapeutic waters. 

            During the Middle Ages, bathing exploded in popularity, particularly in Europe and Asia. The Greeks and Romans built vast, ornate indoor bathing facilities known as bathhouses. These prominent structures served as a meeting place for the elite members of society – thousands of people would gather here to discuss both business and pleasure, to socialize and to relax. The bathhouses were regarded as centers for healing, and it was thought that once one walked through the doors, he would be cleansed. Many of the bathhouses were so large, they contained art galleries, festivals, dining facilities, and even housed live entertainment.  During this time, the Japanese also built many bathhouses where men and women could come together to socialize and cleanse. Promiscuity and public sexual relations quickly became an issue, however, and the bathhouses were quickly divided to keep the genders separate.

            Much later, England opened its first public bathhouse in Liverpool. In just 60 years, almost every town in England had its own bathhouse. Public bathing became popular in the US as well, and live entertainment was often enjoyed here.

            Bathing has always been known as a theraputic practice. Sea salts from around the world – for instance, the Dead Sea and the Himalayan Mountains - have been widely known for their far-reaching benefits.

            Here at the San Francisco Bath Salt Company, our goal is plain and simple: to relax the world, one bath at a time. We have a love of bathing and an understanding of all its benefits, and know how important it is to educate others so everyone can reap the many rewards of bathing in high quality bath salts.

We use only the finest, highest-quality ingredients and we offer all our products at an affordable price, making sure that anyone in the world can enjoy the benefits of bathing.  We ship most orders within 24 hours of receipt, so you don't have to wait to take the perfect bath.

We are building a strong community of folks who love bathing, a forum where people can share ideas, trade “recipes”, and connect.

We want to empower the public by offering our knowledge, our services,  and our incredible line of the finest bath salts in the world.
