In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to unwind and prioritize self-care has become increasingly important. Elevating your bath time with homemade bath salts can take this relaxation to a whole new level. Not only are DIY bath salts incredibly easy to make, but they also offer a wide array of benefits for your mind, body, and soul. Peep my easy-peasy bath salts recipe in my latest segment on KATU’s Afternoon Live!

DIY Bath Salts

Ingredients:

Benefits of Each Ingredient:

1. Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, which is easily absorbed through the skin. Soaking in epsom salt-infused water can help relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and relieve stress. It can also aid in detoxification by drawing out toxins from the body, promoting a sense of overall well-being.
2. Dead Sea salt is derived from the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake renowned for its high mineral content. It contains a unique blend of minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which are beneficial for the skin. Dead Sea salt helps exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling smooth and rejuvenated. It can also help improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate certain skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
3. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a versatile ingredient that serves multiple purposes in bath salts. It acts as a gentle cleanser, helping to remove impurities from the skin. Baking soda also has alkalizing properties that help restore the skin’s pH balance, leaving it soft and supple. Additionally, it can soothe skin irritations, reduce itchiness, and promote a sense of relaxation.
4. Essential oils not only add a delightful fragrance to your bath salts but also provide additional therapeutic benefits. Choose an essential oil based on your personal preferences and desired effects. My favorite combo is lavender and cedarwood, which are both known for their calming and stress-reducing properties.

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the epsom salt, Dead Sea salt, and baking soda.
2. Add 10-15 drops of your preferred essential oil(s) to the mixture. Adjust the number of drops according to your scent preference.
3. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the essential oil. Add some dried herbs or flowers to the mix or place them on top for aesthetics.
4. Transfer the bath salts to a clean, airtight container for storage.
5. To use, simply add a handful or desired amount of the bath salts to warm running water as you fill your bathtub. Swirl the water gently to help dissolve the salts.
