It’s that time of the year again and Valentines Day is fast approaching. Whether you’re looking to make a gift for that special someone or just want to relax and take your mind off the whole holiday, this bath salt recipe is guaranteed to hit the spot.
Ingredients:
½ cup baking powder
¼ cup Epsom salts
1 drop rose absolute oil (or try geranium but you will need a little more of this)
dried rose petals (optional)
Epsom salts are most easily found in your local chemist. First mix together the baking powder and Epsom salts, ensuring they are completely combined. Add the drop of oil and stir thoroughly – there should be no lumps or clumps and the salts should change colour to that of the oil. This could take quite a while but not to worry; if you are using petals add them now, that’s all there is to it! Sprinkle the salts into a hot bath and relax. If you’re not a fan of the heavier, floral scents then replace the rose absolute oil with a few drops of the essential oil of your choice (note that other essential oils may not alter the colour of the salt and will still need thorough mixing).
