Make your own bath salts « Thread Started on Oct 10, 2009, 4:07pm »
DIRECTIONS:
In a large glass or metal bowl, stir together...
2 cups Epsom Salt or Dead Sea Salt - or 1 cup of each (Do not use table salts, they will dry out skin! And when using Dead Sea Salt be sure to remove any dark pieces that may have slipped through processing.)
1-2 teaspoons of baking soda, if desired (Makes skin soft.)
10-12 drops of essential oil (Lavender is best for a relaxing bath, Vanilla and Eucalyptus are also fabulous!)
You can also add a small amount of food coloring paste (the kind used for cake decorating) if desired, but it's not necessary. This is your own homemade bath salt, make it however you want!
Next...
After you have stirred the salt really well (Do this for at least two minutes because it's fun; the more you stir the more the wonderful scent begins to come through!), pour into pretty glass jars and attach lids.
For the Glass Jars...
Use clean mason jars, baby food jars, or even spaghetti and jelly jars. They are all perfect for homemade bath salt! Whatever you do, do NOT spend extra money on expensive jars, they are completely unnecessary!
To Finish...
Tie a pretty ribbon around the top of the jar and decorate the lid if desired.
