Do you know that there are tons of amazing benefits to using homemade bath salts?  Since most feature Epsom salt as a base, you are automatically getting the wonderful benefits they bring – like increased magnesium which can help reduce headaches!  Add in some aromatherapy essential oils and you are boosting your mood and helping your body feel relaxed and ready to face anything.

While I always recommend being safe in your bathroom by using plastic instead of glass, when it comes to items using citrus-based essential oils I prefer a glass jar if storing for long at a time.  Sometimes essential oils can break down plastics, but this isn't a concern when storing for short time periods.

Ingredients: 

  • 2 cups Epson salts
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup coarse sea salt
  • 8-10 drops lemon essential oil
  • 8-10 drops lime essential oil
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon lime zest

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix together salts and baking soda until well blended.  I prefer using a whisk for this, but you can use any spoon.

Transfer to an airtight container and store up to 6 months.  If storing for extended periods of time, use a glass container.  

Directions For Use:

  • Add ‪1/4-1/2‬ cup of the Lemon Lime Homemade Bath Salts to your warm bath water.
  • Sit back and soak for at least 30 minutes. Relax and enjoy the  crisp, clean, energizing citrus scents of lemon and lime.

This is not just a great homemade bath salts recipe for your own use, but an excellent choice as a special gift or treat for friends and family. In fact, I love using things like this for gifting since I almost always have the ingredients on hand, and can easily spruce them up wth a few special embellishments to make them look pretty.

I use these cute storage containers, some chalkboard labels, and pretty ribbon to make this simple homemade bath salts recipe something beautiful and unique to gift.  You can even add directions on a printed card if you prefer!
