Why I Love this Homemade Uplifting Bath Salts Recipe

Sea Salts are known as fantastic natural detoxifiers. They promote better skin hydration, along with having the ability to control the levels of water within the body and regulate the pressure in blood vessels.

Combined with two essential oils that are used for their relaxing and mood elevating notes. Vanilla and Sweet Orange essential oils make the perfect combination to soak one’s cares away.

Using some jojoba oil (or a carrier oil of your choice) is important to dilute the essential oils and help them mix with water safely. It also helps aid absorption into the salt crystals for better results.

Always, do a skin patch test prior to topically using an essential oil you have never used before! See my sections on essential oil safety:

Remember, whenever you add oil to the bath IT CAN MAKE THE BATHTUB SLIPPERY! Always be careful getting into and out of the tub, and CLEAN THE TUB WELL AFTERWARDS so the next family member, or yourself, does not fall and get injured!

When making a batch of Homemade Uplifting Bath Salts, why not double the recipe to give to a dear friend!

With the calming, relaxing scents of the vanilla and sweet orange, these bath salts are the perfect homemade gift to give to someone special. Just pour in a cute glass jar, add a matching label and you have an instant gift, with no added stress!

First, I suggest you take care of yourself and enjoy a long relaxing soak with this Homemade Uplifting Bath Salts recipe.
