Can I mix Epsom salt with soap?
Chef's answer
To do an Epsom salt soak, add 2 cups of Epsom salt to warm water in a standard-sized bathtub (double the amount of Epsom salt for oversized tubs.) Aim to soak for at least 12 minutes, and DO NOT USE SOAP. Soap will interfere with the action of the salts..
