Homemade Lavender Bath Salt Tutorial (Everything Etsy)

Homemade bath salt is one of the best DIY projects in the world!

It makes the perfect gift for the friend that has EVERYTHING. It can help you relax and wash away the cares of the day with a sweet smelling bath. Oh, and don’t forget about the tons and tons of health benefits of using salt in your bath water!

I read that it helps with muscle aches, stress relief, improving circulation, skin hydration, headache relief and more…just Google it!

You can create bath salt with just a few simple ingredients and your prettiest jars. Choose your favorite color and essential oils to formulate a homemade bath salt that’s perfect for you.

Homemade Lavender Bath Salt

I used one of my favorite doTERRA essential oils for this recipe. The benefits of lavender are perfect for a relaxing bath. Feel free to ask me about any essential oils in the comments or visit my doTERRA shop.

Supplies you’ll need…

1 cup Epsom Salt
1 cup Himalayan Sea Salt
1/2 cup coarse Kosher Salt
1-3 Tablespoons of Dried Lavender Buds {optional}
10-20 drops of doTERRA Lavender Essential Oil
2-5 drops of purple Food Coloring {optional}

I’ve included Amazon links to the exact products I used at the bottom of the post to make your shopping easier. {I love getting a box full of supplies sent right to my door! Happiness!}

Gather your supplies and start by mixing 1 cup Epsom Salt, 1 cup of Sea Salt, 1/2 cup of Kosher Salt and the dried lavender buds together in a large bowl. I used a beautiful pink tinted Himalayan Sea Salt to give my salt a little variation of colors.

Looking good already!

Add your Lavender essential oil and any food coloring and mix it well. A little food coloring goes a long way, so start with a couple drops, mix, and then add more to get the desired look. Once you’re done mixing…mix a little more! It needs it!

At this point your whole house will smell amazing and anyone that enters and sees you mixing this up will think you are Martha Stewart in disguise…just sayin’!

Spoon your bath salt into beautiful jars or bottles, top it off with twine or ribbon and you are finished! It’s that simple!

This is the best kind of gift! Make a ton and have them all ready for birthdays and Christmas.

Look like the crafty diva you really are without working too hard. That works for me…ha!

Homemade bath salt is the perfect way to pamper yourself! I love how you can easily change the color or scent. What’s your favorite essential oil?
