Lavender Bath Salts

This recipe for relaxing lavender bath salts is easy to make at home for yourself or to give as a pampering gift. As a mom to two boys, I use this recipe all the time as a great way to unwind after a long day. Not only is this recipe easy to make, but it also smells amazing. The lavender essential oil helps to soothe the skin and promotes relaxation, while the sweet almond oil or olive oil helps to disperse the essential oil evenly in the bath and to moisturize the skin. Epsom salt helps to deliver magnesium to the body through the skin and soothes tired muscles. You’ll feel like you just came from the spa with softer, happier, skin and a calmer, more peaceful mind.

You Will Need

Bowl: medium (glass)
2 cups Epsom salt
2 TB. sweet almond oil/olive oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
Fresh/dried lavender petals
Airtight glass container

To Make:

In a medium glass bowl, add the Epsom salt and sweet almond oil or olive oil, and mix well. Do not use a plastic bowl because the essential oils will absorb into it. Add the lavender essential oil and mix again. Garnish with fresh or dried lavender petals, and store in an airtight glass container.
