Sea salt + ginger

-

The sea salt and ginger powder in your kitchen pantry can help you banish winter bloat from head to toe. How it works: Hot bathwater opens pores, which allows sea salt’s nutrients (including potassium and magnesium) to deeply penetrate skin and help draw out impurities and excess fluids, Ciminelli explains. And ginger’s warming properties trigger sweating and increase circulatio­n and lymph flow, which helps speed the detoxifica­tion process. The result? You can flush up to 5 pounds of “false fat” simply by soaking in the bathtub—plus you’ll release skin-dulling toxins for an instant radiance boost!

To do: Add 3 Tbs. of ginger powder and 1 cup of sea salt into warm, running bath water. Relax in the tub for 15 to 20 minutes.

Note: Since sweating can cause dehydratio­n and dizziness, Ciminelli recommends drinking a glass of water before, during and after a detox soak.
