Amy Broussard replied to Lewis D's discussion 'How long do you bath to remove the scales?'
I use epsom salt in my bath and soak for 20-30 minutes. Make sure the water is not hot just a little warm. Hot water drys the skin. After 20 - 30 minutes just rub the scales with you hand and they roll up and come off. Then get out pat dry and try…

I am hopefull…See More
