Super Easy 5-Minute DIY Bath Salts & Sugar Scrubs
I've been doing more DIY Christmas gifts this year, but the problem with that is - you have to plan ahead. Usually. Not in this case! I guarantee these easy DIY bath salts and sugar scrubs can be done in 5 minutes or less.
Super Easy DIY Bath Salts
himalayan sea salt (optional)
essential oil of your choice
old glass spice jar or other small jar
I used the himalayan sea salt mostly to make the jar look prettier - layered with the white epsom salts you can create a very pretty effect! If you're using something that's about the size of a spice jar, you only need about 2-3 drops of essential oil. Fill your jar halfway, put in a drop, fill it up the rest of the way, and put another drop. Tie a ribbon and tag on it and you're done!
Super Easy Sugar Scrub
sugar (I used both granulated and turbinado sugar)
essential oil of your choice
oil of your choice (I used sweet almond oil, but you could also use any other liquid vegetable oil like extra virgin olive oil)
small glass jar
I used granulated and turbinado sugar to have both coarse and fine sugar in my mix. You can really use any sugar you want! Fill up about 2/3 of the jar with sugar, put in 2-3 drops of essential oil. Pour almond oil (or whatever vegetable oil you're using) in (up to 1/4 of the jar). Shake or stir, then check the consistency. I'm lazy about measuring, so I just added oil in again after checking, shook again, then found that I liked the consistency for rubbing on. You can add as little or as much oil as you like - more oil will be more moisturizing! (Note: I made some for myself to use with lavender essential oil - WOW! It made my hands feel so good!!! Just saying - make some for yourself too - don't give it all away!)
So - isn't that super easy, like I promised?? I'm putting one of each of these in my gifts this year - such a great little addition, and extremely frugal too!
