Whether you’re hiking in the snow-capped Swiss Alps or playing in the sun, physical activity can take a toll on your body. The best way to relax at the end of a busy day is a soothing bath. For an even more relaxing experience, you can sprinkle in these Soothing Floral Bath Salts.
This recipe has three different types of salt – medium and fine grained Dead Sea salt and Epsom salt – for an extra luxurious experience. It is scented with a light and floral combination of Orange Blossom Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil and Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil. As an extra special touch, there are several types of flower petals in the bath salts that will make you feel like you’re bathing in a mountain stream.

ONE: In a large bowl, add the medium grained Dead Sea salt, fine grained Dead Sea salt and Epsom salt. Stir together with your hands. Wear gloves if you’re making these to sell, or, want to protect your manicure.
TWO: Add 6 mL of Orange Blossom Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil and Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil. Using your hands, stir to fully incorporate the salts and fragrances. Do note that Lavender Essential Oil + salt will effectively scour your nail polish right off your fingernails.
THREE: Add 3 heaping Tbsp. of the lavender buds, rose petals and calendula.
FOUR: Using your hands, stir in the flowers until they’re completely incorporated.
FIVE: Spoon in the mixture evenly into bail jars. Enjoy! If you’re not a fan of herbs in your tub because you’re worried about drain clogs, these amazing muslin tea bags work wonders for releasing all the goodness of the herbs and salt while keeping your drain herb-clog-free.
What’s your favorite way to relax at the end of the day? Mine is curling up with a good book – either in the tub or on the couch with a nighttime tea. Ahhhhh …
