Warm water help strip skin of dead cells and bathing in epsom salt water will kill bacteria on the skin. Salt is the natural killer for bacteria. Water and soap remove dead cells because your body constantly growing and there are no reports of skin damaged by warm water unless you are scald by extremely hot water.
