Jessica Biel Uses This $5 Epsom Salt to Soothe Sore Muscles and for Better Sleep

All celebrities have their ways of getting ready for big red carpet events, and before the Met Gala, Jessica Biel revealed in a now-viral TikTok that she bathes in Epsom salts.

In the video, she threw four bags of Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Soak in your tub “with as much water as you can handle.” She said she soaks for 30 minutes, drinks “tons of water” and goes “to bed early” to seal the deal.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Biel elaborated on why salt soaking is her favorite. “Epsom salt baths are a tool that I love and use for all things, after travel, sore muscles, of course, magnesium, absolutely, for good sleep, for stress relief, to, you know, just feel the confidence in your body to go big event like the Met Ball, which is what I used it for,” she said.

Her choice of Dr. Teals formula is unscented and made with pharmaceutical-grade magnesium sulfate that dissolves quickly in water and is hypoallergenic, so it won’t cause skin irritation. The brand recommends pouring two cups into the bathtub twice a week and soaking for 20 minutes.

The bath salts have nearly 3,000 five-star ratings, and many customers rave about their effectiveness. “Works for both foot soak and bath,” wrote one customer, noting that they add their own essential oils. “Works all kinds of magic, from soothing sore muscles to smoothing and softening rough feet,” raved another reviewer.

Epsom salts are popular because the salts are pure, crystallized magnesium sulfate, a compound that, when taken orally, has been found to soothe sore, tight muscles and relieve constipation, among other things. Although there is no solid research to confirm that in the form of a salt water bath it can penetrate the skin and have the same effects, there is no harm in bathing in hot water. Adding even a pinch of salt can make your bath special.

You don’t need the Met Ball to justify a night of pampering with Dr. Teals Pure Epsom Salt. And while you’re in the process of bathing, you can pick up a few other bath accessories we’ve found on sale on Amazon to enhance the experience.
