- Purifying and cleansing: Bath salts contain essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium, and calcium, which help to cleanse and purify the skin.
- Detoxifying properties: These minerals draw out impurities and toxins, leaving your skin feeling refreshed.
- Muscle relief: Bath salts are perfect for relieving muscle aches, and fatigue, and even improving your sleep quality.
- Improved circulation and healing: The salts promote better circulation and speed up the healing of wounds.
- Relaxation and stress relief: A soak in bath salts helps relax, calm, and rejuvenate, while easing tension and stress.
Basic Bath Salt Recipe
Making your own bath salts is simple and fun. Here’s a basic recipe that you can customise with your favourite scents or blend of essential oils.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups Epsom salts
- 1 cup baking soda
- 2 cups sea salt or Himalayan salt
- 15 ml essential oils (choose your favourite scent or create a custom blend, such as lavender and peppermint, or lemon and rosemary)
- A glass or metal bowl for mixing
- A spoon or whisk
- A mason jar or airtight container to store your bath salts
Method:
- Measure out the Epsom salts, baking soda, and sea salt (or Himalayan salt) into your mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients well, ensuring you break up any clumps you may find.
- Add your essential oils to the mix. Be sure not to overdo it - 15 ml is plenty to achieve a lovely scent. Too much essential oil can cause the salts to clump.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Once mixed, scoop your bath salts into mason jars or any decorative airtight containers of your choice.
