Nothing is more de-stressing than sinking into a hot bath and if that bath happens to be scented with salts and oils, it can create a spa-like experience. Bath products can easily be made with regular household ingredients. They can make for a good gift package.
For bath and body products, scents like tangerine, lavender, rose, ylang-ylang, cedar, jasmine, grapefruit, sandalwood, cinnamon and mint works the best.
Epsom salt bath soak is detoxifying and can alleviate stress. Use scents like lavender, jasmine, and cedar for a calming bath, or citrus scents like grapefruit, orange, tangerine, or lemon to detox.

Mix well with a fork to break up any clumps. Add baking soda and mix well.
To make a basic bath milk, take: 1/2 cups powdered milk, 1/2 cup epsom salts, oil of your choice and 1/2 cup flower petals. Mix the powdered milk and epsom salts together. Add five-eight drops of essential oil. If you’re creating a floral bath milk, you can mix in about 1/2 a cup of flower petals. Store it in a bottle.
To make a bubble bath take: One cup clear liquid castile soap, 2/3 cup liquid vegetable glycerin, 1/4 cup water and three-four drops essential oil of your choice. Mix the liquid soap, glycerin, water, and essential oil together in a measuring cup that has a spout on it. Decant into a decorative bottle or mason jar.
To make a bath bomb, take: Two cups baking soda, one cup citric acid, one cup corn starch, 1/2 teaspoon essential oil and one-three teaspoons of olive oil. Mix your dry ingredients and add oils. Spray water on the mixture so that it starts to come together. Once mixed and damp, pack into moulds tightly and then pop them out and let them rest for two to three days to dry out.
