Sink Into Homemade Bath Salts

Check these out, too...

Between backpacks and sports teams, you’re body takes a beating when you head back to school. This quick-‘n’-easy recipe will get you into the bath and feeling better in no time!

What you’ll need:

1 cup Epsom salt

1 cup baking soda

Essential oil of choice (GL likes lavender for its soothing properties and peppermint for treating aches and pains)

Medium-sized bowl

Spoon

Empty jar

Optional: food coloring

What you’ll do:

Measure out the Epsom salt and baking soda and mix together in the bowl. Add the essential oil you chose, anywhere from 5 to 30 drops depending on how strong you want the scent of your salts to be. If you want to add a punch of color, add in food coloring drop by drop to get the color you’re yearning for. (Go slowly! You’ll only need a few drops!). Mix it well and spoon it into your empty jar. For bath time, add a few tablespoons to running water. Don’t forget the bubbles!

Gift it! Choose a festive-smelling oil or one of your bud's favorites and mix up a batch. Buy a few inexpensive glass jars at a craft store like Michael's, wrap a cute ribbon around the lid and gift away.

Do you need essential oils. Or can you just leave it out?

Hey girl,

You do need those to help keep your skin smooth! The good news is that you can use any essential oil you want, so pick one you like, such as lavender or peppermint!

Could you use vanilla extract or almond extract instead of essential oils?

Hey Doll,

I would just stick with the essential oils if I were you just to be safe. If worse comes to worse I guess you could use those but I would try to stick with the essenial oils if I were you.

okay, i have everything except eposm salt... could i just use regular salt? or is there a another option?

Hey girlie,

Sea salt can help hydrate skin, relieve irritation, and remove dead/scaly skin that comes from skin disorders or dry winter conditions. It's not quite the same as epsom salt, but it'll do! You could also use table salt, which is less effective but could have some of the same therapeutic qualities as epsom and sea salt <3
