The&nbsp;7th Haven star reveals that she bathed in twenty pounds of Epsom Salt in preparation for this year's Met Gala.&nbsp;

Even days following the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/met-gala-2024-red-carpet-celebrity-looks-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Met Gala</a>, we're all probably still wondering about all the elaborate details of how the best-dressed celebrities prepared for fashion's biggest night out. Well, it's a no-brainer. If you're going to drop a hefty $75,000 to enter an exclusive, invite-only affair graced by the cr&egrave;me de la cr&egrave;me, you know you're going to have to present your absolute best. Lavish facials, intricate hair treatments, skilled makeup artists, and renowned designers are indispensable requisites for our beloved actors, musicians, models, and fashion icons. They meticulously ready themselves for weeks, if not months, in advance for the pinnacle event of the year&mdash;and quite rightly so!
Nevertheless, you might find yourself particularly intrigued by how Jessica Biel managed to look extra ethereal in her pink Tamara Ralph gown at this year's "The Garden of Time" themed gala. The answer to her transcendent glow? A bath infused with twenty pounds (yes, you read that right) of Epsom salt.&nbsp;
In a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jessbiel/video/7365925962376138026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-viral TikTok video</a>, Biel divulged her pre-Met Gala ritual: immersing herself in a bath loaded with "four, eight, twelve, sixteen, twenty pounds of Epsom salt." After a thirty-minute soak, she hydrates with "tons of water" and hits the hay early. While Biel kept mum on the specific perks of this beauty and wellness regimen, we're following her orders, given how radiant she looked walking the red carpet. Who knows? Perhaps we'll all wake up with a natural, luminous glow, ready to tackle the day as Jessica Biel herself.

All jokes aside, adding Epsom salt to your bath routine isn't exactly new. Epsom salt, composed of magnesium and sulfate, has long been touted for its potential benefits, including soothing sore muscles, improving sleep, and promoting relaxation. Many swear by its ability to alleviate stress and enhance overall well-being. Whether you're prepping for a glamorous event like the Met Gala or simply seeking a moment of self-care, a soak with Epsom salt might just be the rejuvenating touch your routine needs. And the best part of it all? Epsom salt is very affordable and can be found in most drugstores and groceries. Our personal favorite: <a href="https://fave.co/3WSxtRh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt with Lavender</a>.
Still, like many wellness "hacks," there are no guarantees. But, you'll be glad to know that, according to<a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/epsom-salt-bath#side-effects"> Healthline's</a> medical experts, "Epsom salt is generally considered safe," with little to no side effects when added to your bathing routine. However, as with any new beauty or wellness product, we recommend doing a patch test if you're entirely new to it before fully incorporating it into your regimen.&nbsp;
