I like a couple of drops in shea butter for my skin and in a bath with Epsom salts for relaxing tight muscles and the scent relaxes the mind and makes me smell good.

Epsom salts don't do anything for muscles: https://www.painscience.com/articles/epsom-salts.php

There are a ton of references in the article.

Maybe. I never heard the detox stuff until now. A MD and on a different occasion, PT recommended 15 minute soaks with it, 12 being the magic minute. Either way, it softens the water, so that's nice, and it's inexpensive.

My skin always feels really soft after an Epsom salt bath. No idea why it does that, but I'm definitely a fan of the results.

Hard water makes soap harder to rinse, that may be a factor.
