There’s nothing quite like sinking into a warm bath after a long day—especially when it’s infused with skin-loving, muscle-soothing bath salts. Creating your own bath salts at home is not only easy but also allows you to customize the blend based on your mood and needs.

Whether you're craving relaxation, relief from sore muscles, or a refreshing reset, this DIY bath salts recipe is a perfect addition to your self-care routine.

Why Use Bath Salts?

• Epsom Salt: Rich in magnesium, Epsom salt is known for relieving muscle tension, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation.

• Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt: These natural salts help draw out toxins, soften skin, and replenish essential minerals.

• Essential Oils: Choose oils like lavender for calming effects, peppermint for sore muscles, or eucalyptus to clear the mind and sinuses.

• Carrier Oils: Add extra moisture with coconut, jojoba, or sweet almond oil—perfect for nourishing dry skin.

• Dried Herbs & Flowers: Ingredients like rose petals, chamomile, and lavender buds not only elevate the visual experience but bring additional soothing properties.
