- Inexpensive, Easy And Fun Ways
To Make Bath Salts
- By: Jeffrey Dorrian
 Creating
your own bath salts is quite simple and won’t take a lot
of time out of your day. Surprisingly, bath salts are relatively
inexpensive to make and require no harsh ingredients. In fact,
the main ingredients in bath salts are baking soda, table salt
and epsom salt. These can all be found at a local grocery store
and are safe to use. Some bath products, which are found in the
marketplace, may contain harsh ingredients that could irritate
the skin. However, by purchasing bath salts carefully or making
them yourself, you will have the peace of mind in knowing that
your bath salts are perfectly safe to use.
Start with a large mixing bowl
and a spoon or other utensil. Add 3 cups of epsom salt, 2 cups
of baking soda and 1 cup of table salt into the bowl. When all
ingredients are added, begin mixing them with your hand or a
spoon. Next, slowly add food coloring of your choice to the mixture.
Regular food coloring will work perfectly and should be added
according to the color that you desire.

If you want a dark color, continue
to add drops until the color is achieved. If you want a lighter
hue, add fewer drops. If, on the other hand, you need to combine
multiple colors to achieve the desired tone, mix them prior to
adding them to the bowl. Otherwise, you may end up with multi-colored
salts.
Finally, after your coloring
is added and mixed evenly using a spoon or other utensil, begin
to add essential oils until the desired scent is achieved. The
best way to determine is simply by using your own judgement.
Bath salts should be strongly scented because less salts will
be required for each bath, which will enable them to last longer. |

Using the steps and ingredients
outlined above, you can also use a bowl with a lid and shake
the mixture, food coloring and essential oils until it is perfectly
combined. This will save you time from stirring but, otherwise,
the procedures are the same.
Bath salts are inexpensive, easy
and fun to make. But, they are also fun to use. Bath salts are
perfect to make for yourself or to give as a gift to friends
and family. After a long day at work, taking care of the family
or running errands, there is nothing like a luxurious bath to
wash away your cares and all of the stress deriving from the
hustle and bustle of everyday life. Bath salts contain soothing
scents and comfort that will leave you feeling refreshed and
full of life. |
