Taking a bath is, for me, one of life’s simple pleasures which can feel like a total luxury all at the same time. In celebration of the humble bath, here’s a simple bath salts recipe for you to try this weekend. Take some time to enjoy the process of making your own, collecting a selection of essential oils to experiment with and even drying your own herbs, flowers and natural scents if you have the time. They also make a beautiful present for a friend tied up with some nice twine and a label.
Total prep time 10mins
You will need:
Epsom salts (2 cups / 560g)
Dead Sea salts (1 cup / 280g)
1 cup baking soda (1 cup / 280g) – note that this is not the same as baking powder
20 drops of an essential oil of your choice (feel free to mix a few, I used lavender and rose)
Dried lavender / dried rose petals / dried herbs
1 large jar to store
Method:
It really is that simple yet really does add to the whole bath experience. Add candles, a good book and some relaxing music for maximum relaxation.
Do you make your own? We’d love to hear what scent combinations you’ve tried.
