Prepare 1 ½ cups of Epsom salt and 1 cup of sea salt. Epsom salt is sold in pharmacies, sea salt in grocery stores and supermarkets. Stir them in a plastic or glass container.

Take your essential oil. Use those that are designed to be added to cream, soap, lotion. Massage oils are absolutely safe for the skin. But flavored mixes for sachets, handmade candles, lamps, etc. may cause irritation or severe allergic reactions. If you are preparing a relaxing blend, choose essential oils of rose, lavender, jasmine, and ylang ylang. Mint, rosemary, cinnamon, lemon and orange are great for stimulating baths. You can use one oil or several at once. You only need about 10-12 drops. Add them to salt and stir. Never do this with your bare hands - after all, there may be microcracks on your skin, and you will experience very unpleasant sensations.

If you want a colored salt or you are not satisfied with the shade in which the essential oil colored your product, add a few drops of food coloring. Mix again evenly.

In order for the salt to soften the skin, you can drop a little glycerin into the mixture, but keep in mind that it attracts moisture, and the container with salt will have to be stored in a very carefully closed container, or its contents will very quickly turn into a monolithic lump of salt.

For beauty and extra flavor, you can add dried flowers and herbs to the salt. These can be rose petals, lavender buds, mint leaves. Choose supplements that work with your essential oils.

Sprinkle the salt evenly on a piece of confectionery paper, dry for about an hour, and place in glass jars or plastic containers.
