Method

1. Pour the Epsom salt and Himalayan salt into a small mixing bowl. Then sprinkle drops of lavender essential oil and lemon essential oil into the salt mixture. 2. Add the coconut oil and, if you wish to, grate in the zest of a lemon. Mix all the ingredients well. 3. Spoon your bath salt into a mason jar or bottle. Decorate how you like, with twine, ribbon or a sprig of lavender - and that's it. It's that simple! Winter DIY Organic Beauty Recipes

My Top Tip:

If you don’t have the essential oils in this recipe to hand, you can substitute with plenty of other pretty scents. A couple of my other favourites include rose-scented salts and grapefruit with rosemary. —–
