Coarse Rock Salt or Sea Salt
Vegetable Food Coloring (assorted colors)
Essential or Fragrance Oil
Vegetable Glycerin (optional)
In a lidded container - to each cup of rock salt add
3 to 5 drops of food coloring - mixing with a spoon or shaking well
after each couple of drops until desired color is reached. To the
colored crystals add: 20 to 25 drops of fragrance or essential
oils - mixing or shaking container until oils are thoroughly
absorbed.
To make them glisten like little jewels, add a teaspoon or so of glycerin.
Package in a pretty jar.
To use: add about 1/2 cup to your bath or hot tub and swirl until dissolved.
The salt will melt, softening the water, the glycerin will dissolve, moisturizing your skin, and the color will disappear completely.
As you luxuriate in the warm waters, the precious ingredients from the essential oils will float to the surface, caressing your body with gentle whispers of scent as they soothe and moisturize.
Though your bathing ritual may end when you leave the tub, the fragrance will linger long after.
NOTE: A gentle soak is always a welcome experience, but once in a while you might want to pamper yourself even more by enjoying a complete bathing experience. Turn on some serene music, light a candle or two, pour a cool glass of mineral water and enjoy.
