A good soak.

Do you own a bathtub? I haven't had a bathtub in almost a decade which is a CRYING SHAME! Every time I go on vacation, our lodging must supply a bathtub. Now that I know how to make my own bath salts, I crave a bathtub even more! Bath salts are also great for dry skin.  Pour about a tablespoon into your hand and add a little water to form a paste, then massage into areas of dry skin. Rinse.



   

BATH SALTS

3 cups Epsom salt
1 cup Sea salt
10-20 drops of essential oil 
2 Tbs. jojoba oil
2 bowls 
waxed paper
cookie sheet
glass jars

Alternative additions:
1/2 cup baking soda 
dried herbs


Combine the salts in a metal bowl.
Mix in the jojoba oil and then if you want to do two types of scents,
separate the salts into two bowls and add your essential oils to each one.  
Slowly mix the ingredients together making sure to break up the clumps.  
Spread the salts out onto a cookie sheet that's covered with waxed paper
and let dry for 24 hours before bottling.  
...that's all there is to it!
