How to Make Lavender Bath Salts

Instructions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Epsom salt and 1/2 cup of sea salt.

  • Add 1/4 cup of baking soda to the salts. Baking soda helps to soften the water and soothe your skin.

2. Add Lavender Essential Oil:

  • Add 10-15 drops of lavender essential oil to the mixture. You can adjust the number of drops to your preferred level of fragrance.

3. Mix Thoroughly:

  • Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients and distribute the essential oil evenly. You want the lavender scent to be well incorporated.

4. Add Dried Lavender Buds (Optional):

  • If you want to enhance the visual appeal and fragrance of your bath salts, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of dried lavender buds to the mixture. Stir them in well.

5. Store the Bath Salts:

  • Transfer the lavender bath salts to airtight containers or glass jars for storage. Make sure the container is well-sealed to keep the salts fresh and fragrant.

6. Use in the Bath:

  • To use, simply add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of your homemade lavender bath salts to a warm bath. Stir the water to help dissolve the salts and release the soothing lavender fragrance.

7. Relax and Enjoy:

  • Soak in the aromatic bath for at least 20-30 minutes to experience the calming and soothing benefits of lavender.

These lavender bath salts make a wonderful addition to your self-care routine. Lavender is known for its relaxation and stress-relief properties, making it perfect for unwinding after a long day. Plus, the salts help soothe tired muscles and leave your skin feeling refreshed. Store the remaining bath salts in a cool, dry place for future baths, or consider giving them as thoughtful homemade gifts to friends and family. Enjoy your luxurious lavender-infused bath!
