you will need

  • 250 grams of Himalayan salt or sea salt from the Dead Sea
  • Dried flower petals from, for example, begonias and roses
  • Optional: essential oils such as rose, lavender, eucalyptus or rosemary

how to make it

Dry the flowers by hanging them in a well-ventilated place, or you can dry them in the oven on a low setting. 

Make sure you have a clean jar with a lid. Mix the salt with the essential oil in a bowl - for 250 grams of salt, you need around 20 drops of oil. Rose oil relaxes, a bath with lavender oil promotes sleep, and eucalyptus and rosemary have a refreshing effect. Add a handful of dried flower petals. To finish off, decorate your bath with fresh begonias.

Get the bathroom ready for your cocooning moment with a nice playlist, a delicious drink, lit candles and a steaming bath made with your homemade bath salts! The bath salts cleanse and exfoliate and the essential oils and flowers give your skin a velvety kiss. Enjoy it, you've earned it!
