Lavender Bath Salts

By

For this Valentine’s Day, let me present to you, Homemade Lavender Bath Salts! I've always enjoy soaking in a tub of warm water, infused with soothing and relaxing aroma, such as lavender. It really wash away the weariness and soreness from a long day of work.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Epsom salt
  • 1/2 cup Sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds
  • 10 to 15 drops of lavender essential oil
  • a few drops of lavender soap colorant/a small pinch if using powdered ones (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a glass mixing bowl, gently stir all ingredients to combine. Transfer mixture to a glass, airtight container and let it rest for a couple of days. This will give the herbs and essential oil time to infuse the salts with their aroma.

To use as bath salt: Spoon about 4 to 6 tablespoons of Lavender Bath Salt under warm running bath water. Soak for 20 minutes and let the rich minerals absorb through the skin.

To use as an exfoliator: Mix 2 tablespoons of Lavender Bath Salt with a handful of your favorite body wash. Gently massage mixture onto skin to slough away dry patches, reveling a healthier looking complexion.
