Homemade Bath Essentials to Pamper Yourself

How much you put in of each ingredient is going to rely on common sense and how much you want to give back of what life is taking out of you.

Bath Salts

Begin with a plastic zip lock bag. Take advice from a mermaid and put in some sea salts. Let's say maybe you could try half a cup the first time around. Now, take advice from grandma no matter what your age and add half a cup of Epsom salts. Add a few drops of jojoba oil and also a few drops of vitamin e oil.Plus you'll need baking soda as a cleansing agent. Don't forget to include your favorite scent such as lavender or peppermint. You'll use just a little. Be sure it says on the label your scent is safe for bath and body.
