DIY Bath Salts with Lavender - A bowl of lavender bath salts next to lavender flowers ### Ingredients

1 cup Epsom salt
1 cup sea salt
1/2 cup baking soda
20-30 drops of lavender essential oil
1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers (optional)
Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Mix the Salts: In a large bowl, combine the Epsom salt, sea salt, and baking soda. Stir gently until well mixed. The combination of these salts will help to soften your skin and relax your body.
Add Essential Oils: Drop the lavender essential oil into the salt mixture. Use a whisk or spoon to combine thoroughly. The essential oil not only adds fragrance but also provides calming properties.
Add Lavender Flowers: If you’re using dried lavender flowers, fold them into the salt mixture at this point to enhance the visual appeal and aroma.
Color it Up: If you’d like your bath salts to have a little color, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture. Start with just a few drops, and mix to see the desired color.
Store Properly: Transfer your bath salts into an airtight container. This keeps them fresh and prevents clumping. You can use glass jars or any container you like!
Enjoy Your Bath: When you’re ready to relax, just add a few tablespoons of the bath salts to warm running water. Sit back, relax, and soak in the calming scents and softening properties of your homemade bath salts.

This DIY bath salts recipe is easy to create and perfect for treating yourself or giving as a thoughtful gift. Enjoy the process and the relaxation that follows!
