Hello my lovely people out there!!!

The other day I was bored and wanted to try out something new. So I thought of trying DIY bath salts for my mom. And then later I thought that is going to be a good content for my blog too. Bath salts have various benefits and can be used in many ways. If you want to experience that luxurious, refreshing spa-like bath at home then bath salts can give you that feeling.

Basically, bath salts are rich in minerals that our body and skin would love when added to our bath. With this being said let me give you a quick DIY bath salts recipe. There are a lot of bath salts available in the market already but that happiness and satisfaction you get by making one on your own is irreplaceable **right? ** And guess what? it’s winter! What’s better than soaking yourself in bath salts infused warm water

DIY bath salts / homemade bath salts can be prepared in five minutes if you have got all the ingredients.

How to make DIY Bath salts

Take a big bowl and add 2 cups of Epsom salt

Step 1: DIY bath salts recipe

Then add 1/2 cup of sea salt to it and mix both the salts well. You can mix it with a spoon or hands or anything.

Then add a pinch of baking soda to it and mix it with the salts. Adding baking soda can prevent skin irritations that may be caused due to salts.

Step 2 and 3: DIY bath salts recipe

Now it’s time for adding the soothing aroma to it. So add 10-12 drops of essential oil of your choice (aromatherapy oil) and mix them all. The quantity of essential oil depends on your preference. I have added 10 drops satthwa Lemongrass essential oil in my DIY bath salts and 2-3 drops of Soulflower Tea tree essential oil.

Step 4: DIY bath salts recipe

Lemongrass oil reduces the muscle tension and headache. I added Tea tree oil just because I felt like adding it 😛 Tea tree oil has antiseptic properties and can treat itchy and irritating skin.

Then and again mix them all. You can stop at this stage but to make it look attractive and beautiful I wanted to add colors to it.

Add 4-5 drops of food color and stir them all really well. If you are not satisfied with the color intensity you can add it more.

Step 5: DIY bath salts recipe

That is it. Your Bath salts are ready 🙂

I have added yellow color and orange color and then layered both my DIY bath salts one above the other. It was a sunset-inspired color combination. You are free to add any color of your choice.
