Ingredients for DIY relaxing bath salts

The main ingredient you need to make this DIY relaxing bath salt is Epsom salt. I use Elysium Spa 100% Dead Sea Bath Salts. Here is a similar one.

Dead sea salts contain magnesium, potassium and sodium which helps replenish natural minerals in the body and helps to relieve stress & alleviate tired muscles.

Magnesium: Promotes rapid healing of skin tissues

Potassium: Helps to balance moisture in the skin and body, therefore assists in the reduction of water retention in the body.

Sodium: Relieves stiffness and tired, aching muscles.

Dried Lavender/Rose Petals (optional)

Lavender is one of my favourite scents to use when I need some stress relief and relaxation. I love to use dried lavender buds for my soaking time and lavender essential oils for my diffuser. I also add some rose petals because I love the way it looks in my bathwater.
