DIY Relaxing Bath Salts
Ingredients:
2 cups (16 oz) Epsom Salts

How to Make DIY Relaxing Bath Salts:
Take the essential oil, witch hazel and food coloring (if using) and mix together in a small bowl. Stir until combined well.
Next, use a whisk and mix the liquids into the bath salts.
Once that is done, take a funnel and use it to move the bath salt mixture into 8-ounce jars. (2 of them)

When you’re ready to use the bath salts, add about 1/2 cup of them to a hot both. Once the water is cooled down, soak in it for 15 minutes or so to fully relax.
How much bath salt do you put in a bath?
For the best experience, you’re going to want to add in about 1/2 cup to your bath. This will give you that amazing smell and relaxing feel.
Do you have to rinse off after an Epsom Salt Bath?
It’s a good idea to rinse off! That way it gets rid of anything that might not have fully dissolved in the water and is sticking to your body.
What other variations of bath salts can you make?
While we used a relaxation blend of essential oils, you can make these bath salts with any variety of essential oil. We also love lavender, chamomile or citrus blends for the bath.
