Today, I have a simple tutorial for making your own bath salts. I do a batch of this up every couple of months. My son, Max, and I love baths. Max has very sensitive skin, so he likes the soothing properties of the salt. I keep it in a kitchen canister in the bathroom. To use, I pour a scoop (about 1 gram size scoop) under the faucet, as the tub fills. It makes the whole bathroom smell wonderful.
Ingredients are very simple:
2 cups Sea Salt
2 cups Epsom Salt
15 drops essential oil (I usually use Lavendar)
food coloring (optional)
Lavendar oil has a very relaxing scent. It is one of my favorites. In fact, one of my dreams is to operate a Lavendar farm someday. I grow it on my patio, which is something I will get into in a post later on. Some other choices include a citrus blend (energizing) or eucalyptus (relaxing).
Pour the salts in a bowl and add the oil drops. The drops are strong and are not meant for direct full-strength contact, so mix them in carefully with a wooden spoon, not your hands.
You can add color to your salt for decorative purposes. I usually leave mine plain white, but I used a green/blue combination here, so that you can see how it works. I used 2 drops of blue food coloring and 2 drops of green. Then, I mixed it through, just like I did the scented oil.
It takes a few minutes, but eventually you get a nice even color. Store the salt in a covered container. That’s it! Easy, wasn’t it?
