DIY Foaming Bath Salts

The holiday season is a fun-filled time full of celebration and connecting with loved ones. It may easily be the most exciting and joyful time of year for many of us but it can also quite easily be the most stressful and exhausting. After all of the elaborate meals and themed parties are over and we have waved goodbye to visiting family and friends, we are definitely due for some much-needed rest and relaxation. We may even consider a spa getaway to help our minds and bodies recover from the exertion. 

This easy-to-make Foaming Bath Salts recipe can help to bring the spa experience right into our homes. Sea Salt and Epsom Salt work together to help ease sore muscles and stiff joints while also detoxifying and soothing the skin. Liquid Castile Soap creates a luxurious layer of foamy bubbles and helps the essential oils spread throughout the bath. Rich Jojoba Oil leaves skin moisturized and silky smooth. A few different essential oil blends give us the benefits we need most to recover from the holiday fun.
