Luxurious Scented Bath Soak

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Epsom salt
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup citric acid (optional for a gentle fizz and tub cleansing)
• 15 drops of essential oils (lavender, eucalyptus, and vanilla work wonderfully for a relaxing and fresh aroma)
• 1/2 cup dried flowers (like lavender or rose petals) or dried citrus peel (optional, for an extra scent boost and aesthetic appeal)
• 1/2 cup colloidal oatmeal (optional, for skin softening and soothing)

Instructions:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Epsom salt, baking soda, and citric acid (if using). Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
2. Add Essential Oils: Drop in your chosen essential oils and stir thoroughly. For a balanced scent, try 7 drops of lavender, 5 drops of eucalyptus, and 3 drops of vanilla.
3. Add Botanicals: If using, stir in dried flowers or citrus peel. These add fragrance and make the bath visually appealing.
4. Store: Place your bath soak mixture in an airtight jar, and store it in a cool, dry place.

To Use:

1. Scoop about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the mixture into your warm bathwater. Allow it to dissolve completely for a fragrant, relaxing soak.
2. Pro Tip for Tub Maintenance: The combination of baking soda and citric acid helps reduce soap scum and keeps your tub fresh, cutting down on frequent scrubbing.

This soak is gentle enough for daily use, leaving your skin soft and your tub a bit easier to maintain!
