Homemade bath products can be simple to make. You can tailor your own recipes to fit your preference and skin type. Making your own milk bath or bath salt recipe is a way to nurture your body and spirit. The bath ritual is about the luxury of time to relax and be surrounded by warmth.
You have the power to decide:
- what will go into your bath and consequently on your skin.
- the scent that you wish to have wafting during your “ME TIME”.
- to give some away to spread the joy (or not…)
I confess that I am a bath person, not a shower person, so making my own bath bomb recipes and bubble bath at home is right up my alley.
Store-bought items are often drying; contain who knows what and are often expensive.
Many bath recipes require common ingredients that you will be able to find in your kitchen, supermarket or bulk supply store. Certain ingredients you will need to get from a soapmaking supplier.
Remember that fragrance oils are perfume; if you are sensitive you might need to consider using only essential oils which can be pricier. Essential oils are said to have physical and emotional therapeutic properties which you can consider when formulating your bath recipes.
