How we score

We score each thing that comes up most in owner feedback on the Dr Teal's Lavender Epsom Salt Soak. Eight things come up most in owner feedback: seven draw praise and one splits opinion. Its ratings average 4.8 stars (90% five stars, 7% four, 2% three and 1% one or two), so every score starts at 96, that average on a 100 point scale. Where opinion is split, we take off 6. Where it draws mostly complaints, we take off 12. Then we read seven owner reviews in full (every one we found gave it four or five stars) and move the score up to 5 points either way depending on how the owners who mention it rated the product. Our overall score starts from the same 4.8 star average and loses 0.1 for each thing that draws mostly complaints, with 0.1 more when at least a tenth of ratings are one star, never more than 0.3 in all. Nothing comes off here, so it stays at 4.8. Read our editorial standards

Owners are close to unanimous that it makes a relaxing, pleasant soak, and the lavender is well liked for being noticeable without overpowering. Skin tends to feel soft rather than dry afterwards, value is praised, and the bulk pack suits people who bathe often, with a little going a long way. The one mixed point is residue in the tub. The only other complaint is packaging, with a bag occasionally arriving split and messy.

1. Open one bag carefully

   Cut one bag open over a sink or tray and pour it into a jar with a tight lid. Keep the other bags sealed.

2. Run a warm bath

   Fill the tub with comfortably warm water, not hot enough to make you light-headed.

3. Dissolve the salt under the tap

   Pour the salt under the running water and swish it around so it dissolves fully, which also cuts down on residue. Start with a modest amount; one owner uses two cups a week.

4. Soak for about 20 minutes

   Dr Teal's suggests 20 minutes. Keep a glass of water nearby and get out slowly, as a salt bath can make the tub slippery.

5. Rinse the tub

   Drain the bath and give the tub a quick rinse to clear any film or grains.
