How we test bath salts:
Over the years, the GLAMOUR team has been lucky enough to put heaps of different self-care, aromatherapy and bath products to the test — so it’s safe to say that we know a thing or two about what makes a good bath salt.
To decide which bath salts deserved a spot in this edit, we took into account included ingredients, how they interacted with different skin types, how they reacted under running water, and whether they helped us de-stress and reduce soreness. We also considered customer reviews, and whether their formulations are vegan. The result is a carefully-curated edit of bath salts which will leave your skin feeling wonderful.
