Creating Your Own Bath Salts

With Valentine's Day approaching shortly, I thought it would be fun to have something you could give away for Valentine's Day.

Here is something I am doing for my husband and kids. I am going to make some bath salts, and will let them pick their favorite scent of doTERRA essential oils to add. My kids love to take baths, and they think it is so fun to have bath salts in the tub with them. Especially if they get to pick what it smells like!

Here is a recipe I have used several times. You can find the ingredients at the grocery store. It is really easy to make, and is a fun gift!

Bath Salts

2 Cups Baking Soda
1 Cup Sea Salt
3 Cups Epsom Salt
(All above ingredients can be found at your local grocery store)
DoTerra Essential Oils

In a large mixing bowl add all of the above ingredients with the exception of the essential oil. Mix with your hand or a large spoon. After all of the ingredients are well mixed you can portion out little bags of the bath salts. If you are letting them pick their own fragrance, don't add anything to the bath salts. If you are going to have all the salts the same scent, you can add the essential oil while it is still in the bowl (about 12 drops or until desired fragrance is achieved).

Bath salts should be strongly scented so fewer salts will be required for each bath, which will enable them to last longer. (Usually 12 drops of a high quality essential oil would be enough to scent the entire recipe above.)

Bath salts are inexpensive, easy and fun to make. But, they are also fun to use. Bath salts are perfect to make for yourself, or to give as a gift to friends and family.

After a long day at work, taking care of the family or running errands, there is nothing like a luxurious bath to wash away the stresses of everyday life. Bath salts contain soothing scents and comfort that will leave you feeling refreshed and full of life.

Enjoy!
