Scrumptious bath products are a vice for some of us here at the EE. Candy canes also hold a pretty good sway over two of us. With the air turning cool, yesterday seemed like a good time to throw together a treat for our poor skin. Peppermint Bath Salts were the order of the day!
This barely qualifies as a recipe, but here goes:
2 cups sea salt
16 drops peppermint essential oil
Jar(s) with a tight seal
Optional: red food coloring
In a bowl combine salt & essential oil, stirring gently for a few minutes. If you like, divide mixture in half. Tint one half with red food coloring, one drop at a time, being observant not to make the salt too wet in an attempt to add color. The red & natural salts can be swirled in the jar for a pretty look!
We chose to keep things natural and went sans food coloring. The scent of 1/3 cup of these salts poured under warm running water cannot be described! The sweet, invigorating aroma filled the room without being overpowering. My skin was left feeling soft and lightly scented. Enjoy this frugal, relaxing treat today!
