recipe | Bath Salts
I decided I would make some bath salts today. I think I'm going to package them up nicely and give them away like a 'goody bag' for my upcoming girls night.
Bath Salts
Ingredients:
3 cups Epsom salts
2 cups baking soda
1 cup table salt (substitute sea salt if you prefer)
food colouring of your choice (optional) I used green today
Essential Oil of your choice I used my 'Unwind' mixture from Sage, it has Orange, Bergamont, Lavender, Geranium and Cinnamon oils in it
Method:
Mix together the salts and baking soda. Add the colour to your desired hue, if you need to blend colours together do so before mixing it in. Add in your essential oils until your desired scent is achieved. To use, add about 2-3 tablespoons to your bath water.
Alternates:
I also added 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel, and about 10 capsules of 400UI Vitamin E oil to the mixture. Because all of this is so, well, oily, I had to bake the mixture so that it would dry out. It took about 45 minutes at 200°F.
