*Instant Bath Salts* 

1-cup salt
1-cup Epsom salt
1-cup baking soda
Add a little of the mixture to your tub for a revitalizing bath.  For
bubbles, just add 1 cup of shampoo. For a nice scent, add a few drops of
fragrance oil.
 
*Earth Bath Salts*

1/2 cup Epsom salts
1-cup baking soda
1/2-cup rock salt
1/2 tsp vitamin E
2 tsp light oil (almond, sunflower...)
20 drops Patchouli essential oil
15 drops Cypress essential oil
5 drops Vetivert essential oil
Green Food coloring
Mix all salts & baking soda together.  Then combine oil, essential oils,
vitamin E & a few drops of coloring in a separate bowl. Add liquid to
salts and mix thoroughly.  You can add more green food-coloring if
desired, but I find it nicer when it's a very light green as it does not
look as artificial. To use: Add a few heaping tablespoons to bath.
 
 * Bath Salt Recipe*
 
Bath salts
Equal amounts of:
Epsom salts
Table salt
Baking soda
Mix and add desired food coloring (I like to use the cream type) and
essential oils.  Put in jars, decorate, and give as gifts.  We have used
jelly jars, jars from drinks...use your imagination and recycle.

 

*To Make Bath Salts*:
Mix 8 cups Epsom salts with one-cup baking soda.  Add 1 tbsp glycerin and
perfume oil or a flavored extract (like vanilla), a drop or two or three
of food coloring.  Perfume amount depends on personal preference.  Mix
thoroughly, and put in pretty jars.  Easy!  I also make bath oil.  Mix
equal amounts baby oil and safflower oil (or sunflower or grape seed oil).
Add perfume oil to preference.  Makeup remover?  Mix solid vegetable
shortening (NOT lard) with no tear baby shampoo in equal amounts.  Do NOT
add scent; may cause irritation.  Massage into face and wash off.  All of
the above make a nice gift when put in pretty jars or bottles and arranged
in a basket.
