If you want to pamper yourself, soak in these fragrant bath salts–you'll feel so relaxed and refreshed! The blend of rosemary and lemon essential oils smells wonderful, and the epsom salt helps relax your tired muscles. Tea Tree Oil, which is good for your skin, is also an ingredient in these bath salts.
These bath salts are very easy to make and they also make a great homemade gift, so you may want to keep this in mind for holiday gift-giving! You can package the bath salts in cellophane bags or in jars with tight-fitting lids. Add pieces of ribbon to tie the bags or tie ribbon around the rim of your jars for a special touch! You need to use 2 cups of these bath salts per bath, so that is the minimum you would want to give as a gift. I like to make larger batches of these bath salts for myself and keep them in a large jar so I have them on hand when I want to use them.
