Lightening vs brightening creams and what about epison salts

Question:  My  Dad  worked in construction and after an especially hard day he would dump some epison salts in a hot tub and soak until dinner.  He claimed it took the “kinks” out of his  joints.  My mom used  an epison salt soak  to help remove splinters and relieve  sore feet after a day in heels.  Do epison salts really work  or is this another  old wives tale? Answer:  Epsom salts have been a home remedy for centuries.  Chemically it is a mix magnesium and sulfates and named after Epsom in  England where it was first made by boiling  down mineral water. My family were also big fans of epison salts for sore feet and splinter  removal.  But  despite centuries of use,  finding published studies on the benefits of epison  salts proved incredibly difficult.  There is practically no evidence that soaking in epison salted water has  a beneficial effect on the body.   However  centuries of aches and pains have led to three theories on why it works: Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/askthebeautyadvisor/notifications/
