Ingredients Needed

• Coarse sea salt
• Epsom salt
• Tea tree essential oil
• Fragrance oil, to your preference
• Mica color powders, blue and purple, or whatever pair you prefer

Notes on Ingredients

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

When an essential oil is included, I use either concentrated or diluted essential oils. If using concentrated essential oils, use up to 0.5% by weight to ensure safety for all skin types. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of concentrated essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.

Tools Needed

• Measuring cups (1 cup, 1/2 cup)
• 2 bowls
• Tablespoon
• Wooden popsicle sticks
• 200-milliliter (6.76 US fl oz) glass bottle or container to store your DIY Detox Bath Salts

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: DIY Detox Bath Salts

1- Begin with 1 cup of sea salt in a bowl.

2- Add 1/2 cup of Epsom salt.

3- Mix the salts thoroughly with a popsicle stick.

4- Split the contents into two parts, to apply different colors.

5- Add 5 drops of tea tree essential oil to each part.

6- Add to each part 10 drops of a fragrance oil that you prefer.

7- Mix each thoroughly.

8- Using the tip of a popsicle stick, add a touch of mica color powder: here, I am using blue color for one part, and purple for the other. You can use any color you like.

9- Mix the contents of each part rigorously.

10- To store the bath salts, use a glass bottle or container and layer the two colors, alternating between the blue and purple salts, till you fill the bottle up. This results in an attractive and visually appealing package for the bath salts.

11- Your DIY Detox Bath Salts are now ready for use. Time to relax!
