To get rid of unwanted grunge on your shower tiles, just mix an equal amount of liquid dish detergent then dab on the grimy area and scour. The salt granules add the extra scrubbing power to the detergent to dislodge the soap scum.

Rejuvenate winter worn skin, While showering, massage handfuls of the salts into wet skin, on elbows and knees, Let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse. THe exfoliating minerals scrub away died skin cells and deep clean pores.

Take out a splinter by adding enough water to 1/8 cup of Epsom salts to form a paste. Then apply the mixture for 10 minutes. The magnesium sulfate in the salve will gently pull the splinter to the surface so you can pluck it out painlessly.
