After a hard week, I love relaxing in a nice hot bath .
To get rid of all the stress, I add bath salts relaxing inside.
Bath salts have the power to evacuate all the fatigue and tension of the day.
The only problem is that bath salts are expensive.
€20 for a small 300g jar like at L’Occitane! It hurts the wallet...
Luckily, here's how to make your own anti-stress lavender bath salts.
Don't worry, this natural recipe is quick and easy. Watch:
- 125g Epsom salt
- 125g sea salt
- 2 tablespoons of dried lavender
- 10 to 15 drops of lavender essential oil
- a few drops of lavender soap dye (optional)
- a glass mixing bowl
1. Put the Epsom salt, sea salt and dried lavender in the glass bowl.
2. Gently mix the ingredients with a spoon.
2. Add lavender essential oil.
3. Mix again gently with a spoon.
4. Optional: if you wish, it is at this stage that you can also add the lavender colored soap dye.
There you go, your homemade lavender bath salts are already ready :-)
Easy, fast and effective, right?
All you have to do is relax quietly in your anti-stress bath for about 20 min.
You will thus benefit from the beneficial properties of lavender and Epsom salt.
You'll see, it's super nice to relax in a nice hot water bath that smells like lavender.
You will come out regenerated and completely soothed!
To use lavender bath salts, pour 4-6 tablespoons of the mixture into your bath, directly under running warm water.
With heat, bath salts dissolve in water and release their pleasant fragrance and soothing properties.
You can also use your lavender bath salts as a scrub .
Just mix 2 tablespoons of bath salts with your usual dose of shower gel.
Gently massage this blend into the skin for an exfoliating treatment and a brighter complexion.
Before using your lavender bath salts, I recommend that you let them sit for 2-3 days.
This is because it allows the dried lavender and lavender essential oil to infuse the salts with their sweet scent.
To store lavender bath salts, put them in a small, airtight glass jar so that no moisture enters.
- Epsom salt takes its name from a saline spring in the city of Epsom, England. Epsom salt is known for its exfoliating properties and benefits for rough areas of skin.
- Essential oil of lavender gives off a pleasant fragrance, known for its soothing properties. It is also used to relieve muscle pain and tension.
