Product Review: Bath Path Mineral Sea Salt Soak

So...I busted my @$$ recently.  If you are not familiar with my vernacular, it means, I fell.  Fell hard.  I was at my house, with my son and daughter and slipped on my hardwood floor.  To make matters worse, I did not fall on my derrière, I face planted.  My knees actually took the brunt of it, but it did knock the wind out of me.

As I laid on the floor, I seriously had a moment.  "I've fallen and I can't get up", medical bracelets, growing old and the meaning of life honestly flashed across my mind.  While, it was absolutely hilarious I busted my derrière, it was extremely painful.  But as most mothers know, there is no time for pain.  So I got up and continued to do my motherly and wifely duties.  However, my knees were throbbing.

Luckily, I was asked to review Bath Path's Mineral Sea Salt Soak in Lavender.  I figured a major face plant was a good excuse as any to take a bath.  

Now let me tell you, I am a bather; salt baths, sitz baths, hot baths, steam baths, herbal baths, mineral baths, milk baths, clay and mud baths...you name it, I've tried it.  So I was expecting a normal bath time experience but Bath Path far exceeded my expectations.

First of all, there is real lavender essential oil in this bath salt.  While this may not seem like a big deal to the uninformed, a lot of skin care companies use lavender fragrance oil.  BIG DIFFERENCE!  In laymans terms, fragrance oil is just an oil that captures the fragrance and nine times out of ten it is made with some pretty undesirable chemicals.  Essential oil is actually the flower or leaf's naturally expressed oil.  When you smell the bath salt, you will immediately notice the difference.

So, I put my cup of salt in the running bath water and got right in.  Immediately, I felt luxurious.  Salt baths have the ability to pull toxins out of your body, which is great; however, it can also severely dry your skin out.  Bath Path however puts vitamin e oil in their product and you can feel the moisture.  I literally soaked in the tub until the water got cold and my hands and feet got pruney.  When I finally managed to exit the tub, I felt relaxed (sleepy) and lo and behold, my knees weren't aching anymore!  My skin was soft and supple and I felt marvelous.  As an added bonus...the lavender scent even put Chloe to sleep.

You mothers know you can't take a long bath without the kids around.

So out of 10 stars, I give it a 10.  It definitely got the job done and all of the ingredients are natural.  Furthermore, it put the baby to sleep while I bathed! (Mothers know that is a definite plus!)
