Bath Stuff You Can Make

Any of the following bath ideas would make cute and inexpensive gifts given in a decorated mason jar, crock, or cellophane bag, tied with rafia or homespun bow.  Don't use tins to store bathsalts in, it will corrode the tins.

Soothing Bath Oils

Combine honey, milk, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Fill your tub and pour the mixture in. Add the baby oil and a few drops of the fragrance.

Recipe #2:

Mix all ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds. Use only one or two tablespoons of this oil in a bathtub of water.

OR, try this...
Turkey-red oil (a derivitave of castor oil) acts as an emulsifying agent for other oils so they won't coat your skin or the tub. Mix 3 parts turkey-red oil to 1 part fragrance oil. Add a few drops to your bath.

In a bowl, add 2 cups of this mixture to the rest of the glycerin, shampoo and add a few drops of your scented oil. Put into a quart container and store covered at room temperature.
