So read on to make the bath salts and enjoy the spa day at home…!!!

What are the ingredients we need??

I will tell you 3 different types of bath salts’ preparations. I am gonna mention the uses of ingredients we need for preparing all of them in one single list.

• Salt
  Epsom salt – For base.
  Sea Salt – For healing properties.
  Himalayan Pink Salt – To increase mineral quality.

• Essential Oil
  Who doesn’t love the nice fragrance bathing experience. To get that aroma, we will add some essential oils.
  You can choose any of the essential oil of your choice. Here are few suggestions.
  Floral – Rose, Lilly, jasmine
  Fruity – Vanilla, citrus
  Strong – Peppermint
  Mixture of any of the above.

• Dried herbs
  You can add dried herbs / dried fruits / dried petals to your salt. It will add aroma and increase the effectiveness.

 

• Food Color
  This is optional. But, if you add some food colors to salt it will look more attractive for sure.

• Glycerin
  For adding moisture

 

• Baking soda
  For whitening property

• Borax and kaolin clay powder 
  For softening water as well as your skin. Help in curing in muscle strains and tension. Plus, they also have mineral properties.
