How to Use a Detox Bath Kit
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, achy, or just done with life in general, draw yourself a detoxifying bath and create your own personal oasis.
- Hydrate: You’ll be sweating out toxins, so remember to drink plenty of water and electrolytes when needed.
- Fill: Start filling your tub with comfortably hot water.
- Drop: Drop in the Tub Tab. It should start sizzling and dissolving right away.
- Salt: Add The Salts (under running water for easy mixing)
- Vibe: Pour in the Vibe pack and any other extras in your kit
- Soak: Once all ingredients have been added, there’s nothing left to do but soak, scrub, zone out, and let the detox do the work for 20–40 minutes.
- Rest: After the bath, wrap yourself in a robe or towel and lie down for an additional 20 minutes to continue detoxing.
We recommend a screen-free environment while using our detox bath kits—it’s much easier to turn into soup with your eyes closed. Unplugging will heighten your experience and allow you to fully recharge. Don’t worry—that online shopping cart or episode of Survivor will still be there when you’re done.

FAQ’s
How often should I use a Detox Bath Kit?
We recommend starting slow and building up! Begin with one detox bath per week and gradually increase to two or three, depending on your goals and tolerance. If you’re just looking to boost your self-care game, once or twice a week is perfect. Need serious stress relief? Soak more often. Start with shorter baths (12–20 minutes) to see how your body reacts, and always stay hydrated. Want to mix things up? Rotate different detox baths, add bentonite clay for extra detox power, and skip the soap to let the good stuff do its thing. Some of our customers take a detox bath once a week, while others opt for once a month—it’s all about what feels best for you! Pro tip: A detox bath hits different after a tough workout or an exhausting day. So go ahead—make bath time your ultimate wellness ritual!
Can I use a bath kit while pregnant?
If you’re expecting, we recommend checking in with your doctor, midwife, or healthcare provider before using our Bath Kits. Plenty of moms-to-be have soaked safely, but every person and pregnancy is unique. We want you to feel totally confident and comfy in your bath— so check with your provider to ensure our products are right for you!
How many baths can I get out of one bag?
Each Bath Kit = One Luxe Detox Soak
Every Bath Kit comes with everything you need for a real at-home detox—all provided in one bag. Think of it as a full-on spa treatment: soak for 20–40 minutes in nourishing oils and minerals (sans electronics), then kick back for another 20–30 minutes to sweat, relax, and let the detox magic continue. Our custom step-by-step soaking process guides you through the experience, making it effortless. When you're done, you’ll feel amazing, refreshed, and totally clear-minded. Bonus: Use it before bed for your best night’s sleep ever. ✨
What is the difference between the OG and Quickie Kits?
Our OG Kits are the ultimate detox experience—the full process, plus a little extra pampering. Each kit comes with EVERYTHING you need for an at-home spa detox, along with special add-ons to elevate your soak. Think: a face mask in the Crimson Wave, apple cider vinegar in the Mama Detox for glowing skin, a natural loofah in the Zen Kit to dry brush away stress, and electrolytes in the FLEX to rehydrate post-workout.
Short on time? Quickie Kits are a streamlined version, featuring just the detox essentials—The Salts, Essentials, and Vibe bath bomb—for a fast, effective soak without the full ritual. Perfect for avid bathers who want the benefits of a detox bath without the time commitment, Quickies also come at a lower price point, so you can indulge more often.
Why do I feel worse after using a detox bath kit?
Detox baths can sometimes cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, or lightheadedness. These are often signs that toxins are being released from your body and are usually temporary. To reduce these symptoms, drink a lots of water before, during, and after your bath. If you’re new to detoxing, start with one bath a week and gradually increase the frequency as your body adjusts. Mild discomfort, like aches or dizziness, is common and typically part of a “healing crisis,” which is a temporary phase as your body detoxifies.
To minimize discomfort, stay hydrated before, during, and after your bath, and keep the water temperature between 100°F and 105°F—anything hotter can cause dizziness. You may also experience fatigue, headaches, brain fog, or muscle aches as your body releases toxins. These symptoms are usually short-lived, but if they persist or feel severe, contact your doctor to be safe.
Do you have a kit for kids?
Yes! Our Grom Soak is specially designed for kids! It includes a smaller amount of salt that’s gentle on their little bodies, a fun potion recipe to guide them through the detox process, and a Squishy toy to make bath time even more fun. Each Grom Soak also encourages a screen-free experience, cutting down on blue-light exposure and helping your child get a great night's sleep. Plus, it’s a perfect bonding opportunity for you and your little one—no screens, just imaginative play and quality time together. With a new lower price, it’s the ideal way to get your kids into a healthy wellness routine while having fun!
Do you use the whole bag of salt?
Yes! We recommend using the entire bag of salts for a standard-size bath. The ideal amount is 1-3 cups of Magnesium Flakes, and using less may not provide the full benefits. For a more intense detox or to fill a larger tub, we also offer a "bath boost" with an additional full bag of salts. If a product suggests sprinkling in the "desired amount," it's likely just for aromatherapy and won’t give you the full detox benefits magnesium can offer. Use the whole bag for maximum results!
Why Magnesium Chloride instead of Epsom Salt?
Epsom salts may be a popular choice, but they’re actually magnesium sulfate, not real salt. While they can come from natural springs, most are made synthetically, which can result in lower purity and potential contaminants like aluminum and mercury. Over time, these can build up in your body.
Magnesium flakes, on the other hand, are made from magnesium chloride, a naturally sourced compound from the Dead Sea brine. They have better bioavailability, meaning your skin absorbs them more easily, providing a more effective detox. For a purer and more beneficial experience, magnesium flakes are the way to go!
Who shouldn’t use a Detox Bath Kit?
To ensure safety and well-being, individuals in the following categories should take appropriate precautions when using detox baths. Consulting with a healthcare provider is strongly recommended for personalized advice, especially for those with underlying health conditions.
- Heart Conditions or Cardiovascular Issues: Detox baths can affect circulation, so individuals with heart conditions should consult their doctor first.
- Mobility Issues or Slippery Bath Concerns: Take extra care if you have difficulty moving or are worried about slipping in the bath.
- Pregnancy: While baths are generally safe during pregnancy, keep them brief and ensure the water isn’t too hot. Always check with your healthcare provider before using Salty Tub products.
- Skin Conditions or Open Wounds: Avoid baths if you have skin conditions that may worsen with certain additives.
- Dehydration or Hydration-Sensitive Conditions: Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your bath to prevent dehydration.
- Neurological Conditions or Sensory Impairments: Those with neurological or sensory issues should be cautious with hot water and bath additives.
- Medications: Certain medications may interact with hot water or bath ingredients. Consult your doctor if you’re on any prescription drugs.
- Elderly Individuals: Older adults may have reduced strength or balance, making it important to take extra care in and around the bath.
- History of Seizures or Fainting Spells: If you’ve experienced seizures or fainting, it’s best to consult your doctor before using a detox bath.
- Kidney Disease: People with kidney disease should consult their healthcare provider before using detox baths, as they can affect the kidneys’ ability to process certain toxins.
Potential Side Effects
While detox baths are generally safe for most people, there are some potential side effects to keep in mind:
- Dehydration: Hot water can lead to dehydration, so drink plenty of water before and after your bath.
- Dizziness or Fainting: Be cautious when standing up after your bath—rising too quickly can cause dizziness, especially if the water was too hot.
- Skin Irritation: Some people may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions, particularly with essential oils or other additives.
- Increased Heart Rate: Hot water can cause your heart rate and blood pressure to rise temporarily, so those with heart conditions or high blood pressure should take care.
- Nausea or Vomiting: Heat or certain bath ingredients might cause nausea, especially for those prone to motion sickness or with a sensitive stomach.
- Fatigue or Weakness: Detox baths can sometimes leave you feeling tired or weak, especially if the bath is prolonged or too hot.
Listen to your body, start slow, and always check with your healthcare provider if you’re unsure!
