The work week is done which means you’re more than ready to drift away into a luxurious bath (while sipping on a carefully selected Pinot Grigio, of course). While it may seem like all bath salts are made equal, there’s a secret to selecting the perfect bath salt. So, is Dead Sea salt the same as Epsom salt?
