This week, I tried out a few recipes for the first time, and here is the first one! My mum loves baths, and she’s very keen on bath salts. Whenever I’ve bought her bath salts, I’ve tried to buy plastic free, sustainable etc – but what could be more sustainable than making them myself? It was one of the easiest DIYs I’ve ever done, and having tried the bath salts, they’re really nice and you can’t tell that they’re homemade. So, if you want to give them a go, then just follow the recipe! I’ve also listed some of my favourite scents, but there are loads out there, so just have a look on the internet to find one that works for you.
Good Scent Combinations
- Lavender and Sage
- Eucalyptus and Peppermint
- Orange and Green tea
- Rose (and most other floral scents)
- Chamomile and Lavender
- Lavender and Peppermint
- Grapefruit
Ingredients
- Epsom salts
- Pink himalayan salt
- Essential oil
- Herbs or dried flowers (if you like)
- A Jar
Method
- Combine 4 parts epsom salts to 1 part pink himalayan salt and mix until they’re well combined.
- Crush up your herbs (if using) until you have small pieces. This releases the scent from the herbs and makes them easier clean from the bath.
- Add herbs and essential oil – depending on the strength of your essential oil, you might have to add more or less. Always start with less, and stir it through the salts.
- You’re done! Enjoy.
That’s all from me this week! As always, always make sure that you patch test any ingredients that you haven’t used before.
